The Artistree management team is a remarkable group of energetic human beings who have more than 35 years in the traditional hospitality industry, 10 years in land development, conservation, and green design, and 60 years managing bottom lines and brands.
We are more than a development or hospitality management company, we are stewards of place—reconnecting humans to nature and doing so in partnership with our planet. Each Artistree project is a vehicle to protect, share, and plant forests. With current revenues of over $4 million annually and projects near Austin, L.A., Missoula, and San Francisco, we are expanding rapidly and looking for aligned team members to be part of creating a movement for sustainable living, working, and playing. We are a group of people guided by these core values:
Passionate about creating a new model of travel that cares for our planet.
Asserting that nature is medicine for the technological era
Exceeding “leave no trace” by practicing regenerative designs, builds, and operations
Practicing Reciprocity at all levels: with our clients, our locations, and our team.
Serving as stewards of nature and community through actively participating as a positive partner to both.
