Let us know what you have in mind and we can see how we can accommodate your wishes.

How much would a retreat cost?

Assuming you want to rent all three lodging spaces the minimum would be $450.00 per night. Use of other facilities, depending on the nature of your event would increase the cost. There is a two-day minimum. There are also pet fees to consider should you bring your dogs.

What are the food/cooking possibilities?

The Cottage and the Bungalow have complete kitchens. The Cabin has a smaller half kitchen. There is an outside cooking picnicking area. A favorite of ours is the outdoor oven which when hot does great pizzas in less then ten minutes.  There are  multiple barbecues. For those interested in having your event catered we can help you make the necessary contacts or for an additional fee arrange the catering.

Are there performance spaces?

There are currently two performance spaces.  Our Greenhouse performance space is perfect for small intimate musical performances, poetry readings and two to three character scenes. Audience limit to 30 or so people sitting on bench type seating. Our main performance space is the Studio. You can set up a 16 by 12 acting/performance space and comfortably seat 40 to 50 people. This space has a limited lighting set up.
