What type of retreat guides do you work with?
We have worked with a variety of guides from all over the world including but not limited to wellness guides, equine therapy leaders, yoga teachers, hunting guides, spiritual gurus, fishing guides, writers, photography teachers, and more. If you are looking for a beautiful space to host your retreat, we want to hear from you.
Do you offer any additional services or activities that can enhance the retreat experience?
We are happy to share our Local Partners Services Guide that expands on the Featured Local Partners list on our website. There are many amazing businesses in the area offering everything from rock climbing and kayaking, to trail rides, dining experiences, cultural experiences and more. We are also working on developing our outdoor spaces so they are as beautiful and functional as the lodge itself - imagine wildflower gardens, picnic areas in the trees, and additional walking trails.
What is the capacity of your venue and how many participants can it accommodate comfortably?
Our lodge has 4 bedrooms, each with the ability for double occupancy (maximum of 8 occupants). Each room has a separate bathroom. We do have a local partner (just 2.5 miles away) that we can work with to accommodate larger groups.
What kinds of events/groups/retreats have you hosted?
Our primary clients have been fishing and adventure guides, yoga/meditation facilitators, and small groups seeking bespoke getaways. We are looking to expand into the realm of wellness and artist groups.
Can you accommodate specific dietary needs or preferences for meals during the retreat?
Yes, we can accommodate most dietary needs and preferences. If someone in your group has very specific dietary needs, please contact us so we can discuss further.
How accessible is your venue for individuals with mobility issues or special needs?
Unfortunately our lodge is not well set up for individuals with mobility issues. We do have one bedroom in the walkout basement, but access to the rest of the house requires the use of one or more staircases.
Are you a wedding planner looking for the perfect elopement venue?
