This Tiny Cabin Takes Remote Work to a Whole New Level

Positioned for mountain views, Find Sanctuary’s office cabins promise a restorative escape for anyone who’s burned out at their job.

Years of a hustle culture mentality in the start-up world left Charlie Hammond struggling with debilitating stress and anxiety; the Los Angeles–based investor and entrepreneur knew he had to find a better balance in order to sustain. His answer to improving his own mental health? Naturally, get outside.

Inspired by his experience of reconnecting with nature, a proven method for reducing stress, Hammond developed a twist on remote work: Find Sanctuary will be a collection of 40 rentable tiny cabins set in Big Bear, California, where frazzled workers can recharge or reconsider quiet quitting. The first cabin has just been built and is now hosting guests on an invite-only basis to experiment with how to maximize its stress-reducing benefits, which has a lot to do with getting out of the city.

"The site is perched in the mountains above a cloud cover, so it evokes a sense of awe," says Hammond. "There are pine trees, rugged mountains, and birdsong at night—it’s a special place that draws you into the present."

The first built cabin is perched on a hilltop where it takes in views of the surrounding mountains.
