Practical strategy,

Owner-led insight
Advice grounded in
the realities of running a resort.
Four Directions was founded by Christian Edie, a hospitality entrepreneur and resort operator with hands-on experience across lodging, food and beverage, events, recreation, guest experience, and destination marketing.
That operating perspective keeps the work ambitious, practical, and close to what matters most: memorable stays, healthy teams, and a property that performs.
