Chengwatana

Embraced by two towering white pines, Chengwatana dome beckons guests to immerse themselves in nature's embrace. Its warm, earthy wooden tones and soothing forest greens seamlessly blend indoor comforts with the tranquility of the great outdoors. Embodying the essence of its namesake, this sanctuary pays homage to the rich heritage of Chengwatana, a name derived from the Ojibwe language, signifying the sacred connection to the majestic White Pines that grace the landscape.

Amidst the serene White Pines, lies the forgotten traces of Chengwatana, an ancient Ojibwe village lost to time. At Sweetbriar Ridge, we humbly recognize the land's storied past, once home to the Ojibwe and Dakota peoples. Alongside the tranquil Snake River, weaving through Chengwatana State Forest, they shared in trade and tradition, shaping the landscape we now embrace with reverence.

ADA Accessible: Featuring a zero-step entrance, wide doorways, and a flat pathway directly from the parking area to the front door. The main floor provides an accessible king bed, dining space and kitchenette. The bathroom includes a roll-in shower with grab bars, built in bench, and room to navigate. The hot tub is not ADA accessible as it does not have a lift. The loft is not wheelchair accessible. Please keep in mind this is still a "glorified tent" and there are some limiting factors.
