Welcome to our home away from home!
My wife and I live just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, with our adorable (and mischievous) Goldendoodle, Cinna. Our desire for a mountain escape away from the city led us to build Moksha Retreat, where we and our canine companion can enjoy beautiful, quiet sunrises and even more captivating starry nights.
We designed Moksha with all our favorite amenities we’ve enjoyed in our years of frequenting vacation rentals. We invite you to make use of the gourmet kitchen, enjoy a soak in the hot tub, tell stories around the fire, engage in a game of pool, or practice mindful meditation in our yoga corner.
Please, make yourself at home! We hope you love it here as much as we do.
