Your Hive Sister
This Hive is held by a Hive Sister who tends the space with care, quiet, and intention.
The Black Walnut Apartment is a private studio attached to the main home, with its own entrance and outdoor sitting area. While the space is designed to feel secluded and restful, you may see or hear the gentle rhythms of daily life nearby.
Guests are invited to move slowly here — honoring both their own rest and the shared nature of the land. Quiet hours, clear boundaries, and mutual respect help preserve the sanctuary of the space.
Specific details about your Hive Sister are shared after booking, in keeping with Bee Still Hive’s commitment to privacy and safety.
