"I had the most amazing experience at Raven’s Retreat. My hosts, Raven and Dustin, took care of me for 4 days, guiding me through exercise, nutrition and reflection activities. I had plenty of time to myself which is what I came for and emerged re-energized and focused. The setting is spectacular - I stayed in the Pollinator cabin. Overlooking a beautiful pond, it’s the perfect place to simply sit in peace and see nature pass by in front of you. I am making this an annual trip for sure and can’t wait to get back. Highly highly recommended."

"This is a one-of-a-kind retreat for sure! I wanted to get away, relax, and unplug for a few days. The Pollinator was the perfect spot - incredibly cozy, spotless, creative, and perfectly private—surrounded by nature and creativity, which was exactly what was needed. The owners were incredible and attentive to every detail. It was the ultimate, rejuvenating getaway and silent retreat experience!"

"This place was so incredible and such an amazing find! Raven and Dj are incredibly sweet and their home is so beautiful and peaceful. We loved watching the bee’s out of the window, among other amazing insects around the property. I’d never enjoyed saunas that much but my mind was changed this weekend after having a clear view of the beautiful forest while sweating out all the bad food we ate after our long hike. With the lack of Wi-Fi we were really able to unplug and enjoy each other’s company more, along with listen to some of the wonderful tunes on their record player. We made really good memories here and would love to return soon! Bonus points for the water system, as it sparked conversation between us about how we can conserve water more appropriately in our daily lives and made us appreciate how we used our water. Thank you guys! :)"

"This place was perfect for our company retreat. Plenty of space to run our sessions, do group activities, and retreat to our own private rooms if we wanted to. The wifi was strong which was important for our meetings and making a few phone calls. The feel of the house is very artistic and that is evident by the many really cool pieces throughout the house. My two favorites are the wolf made of nails on the wall and the tree stump that has integrated lights. You can tell the owners really put a lot of time into making this place special. Anyone who stays here is going to love it."
