A living art gallery you stay inside.
Fifty-eight private acres, built by hand by a master sculptor and a wellness coach. Adults only. One hour from Columbus.
Not a cabin rental. A living art gallery on 58 private acres.
Every surface, sculpture, and trail at Raven's Retreat was placed with intention. Dustin spent four years building this property from the forest floor up before it opened. Raven programs each retreat around transferable life skills, not a stock itinerary. The result is an adults-only sanctuary in Hocking Hills, Ohio where nervous system reset and creative renewal happen at your pace, surrounded by old-growth forest, one hour from Columbus.
Three retreat formats. One 58-acre preserve.
Every stay is adults-only and includes private use of your own space, with the 58 acres shared between the Lodge and the Bungalow. Custom programming is layered on top through a free consult with Raven.

The property at Raven's Retreat
The Sculptor's Art Lodge and the Art Bungalow.
The Sculptor's Art Lodge is a 4,000 sq ft group venue filled with original sculptures, steel installations, and handcrafted furniture by Dustin Weatherby. Six bedrooms, three bathrooms, hot tub, sauna, and firepit, set in the 58-acre preserve.
The Sculptor's Art Bungalow is an intimate one-bedroom sanctuary for couples and solo retreatants: private hot tub, electric fireplace, nature-view balcony, and the same 58 acres at your doorstep. Both spaces are adults-only. Book either one on its own, or take both and have the whole property to yourselves.
- Art Lodge · 6 bed / 3 bath · up to 16 guests
- Art Bungalow · 1 bed / 1 bath · 2 guests
- Book the Lodge, the Bungalow, or both together for the entire preserve
Fifty-eight private acres, and no crowds.
Private hiking trails. A 24-by-24 foot forest platform for yoga or ceremony. Hot tub, firepit, meditation stations, a sauna at the Lodge, and Dustin's original sculptures woven through the landscape.
Five things you will not find anywhere else.
Original art on every surface
You are not visiting a gallery and returning to a standard rental. Every room, path, and outdoor space holds original sculptures and steel installations by Dustin Weatherby. Twenty-five years of mastery made permanent in the landscape.
Curated wellness, not a package
Somatic breathwork, guided forest bathing, sound bathing, neurolinguistic programming, yoga, and massage therapy. Raven builds your program around your goals, not a fixed menu.
58 private acres to roam
Private hiking trails, hot tub, firepit, meditation areas, and an elevated 24-by-24 foot forest platform for yoga or ceremony. The sauna sits at the Lodge. The preserve is shared only between the Lodge and the Bungalow, so it never feels busy, and booking both gives you all of it.
A wildlife release site
The preserve is a release site for orphaned and rehabilitated wildlife, which is why so much of it is left deliberately wild. Every booking supports that work. This place was built as a living system, not a destination.
Founder-built from the forest floor up
Raven and Dustin acquired the land in 2018 and spent four years constructing the retreat before opening in 2022. Every trail, building, sculpture, and fixture reflects that intention. Nothing here is accidental.
The ultimate, rejuvenating getaway and silent retreat.
Good things worth knowing.
Start with a free 15-minute consult call with Raven. After a short intake, Raven personally designs a proposal around your goals and dates and returns it within 72 hours. A 50% deposit holds your dates; the balance is due four months before check-in.
Raven's Retreat is adults-only, and pets are not accommodated. This keeps the preserve quiet for the nervous system reset every guest comes here to experience.
Every stay is private use of your space (Bungalow or Lodge) plus the run of the 58-acre preserve. Wellness and creative add-ons are booked a la carte or included in a curated custom package: breathwork, sound bath, forest bathing, a wild edibles tour, a forest fitness session, an eco tour, sculpting, painting, a private chef, massage, vow renewals, lifestyle wellness coaching, and neurolinguistic programming.
The retreat is at 17683 Thompson Ridge Rd. in Laurelville, Ohio, about one hour southeast of downtown Columbus and roughly two hours from Cincinnati and Cleveland.
No. Book just the space and enjoy the preserve on your own terms, or layer in wellness and creative sessions with Raven during the consult. Everything is optional.
Three nights across both spaces. Custom multi-night group retreats usually run three to five nights, and can be built out to a full week or two weeks. All of it is arranged through the consult flow.
Your retreat begins with a conversation.
