"This was one of the most amazing and unique properties I have ever stayed in. Hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive; it truly is a work of art; spotless in every nook, and felt so far removed from everything. View from the inside is so peaceful and beautiful, it really inspires you to unwind and unplug from everything. The bed was sooooooo comfortable, hot tub was pristine, and watching the bees was a delight. I can’t say enough good things, and can’t wait to go back again. Raven & Dustin have curated a beautiful space and property. I would give 10 stars if I could. 💜"
"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."
"I stayed in Raven and Dusty’s adorable tiny house on the way down to South Carolina from Michigan… They were very hospitable knowing that I was going to be checking in late due to a long drive… They had the heat on… The lights on and everything ready for me. Such an adorable place to stay and very tranquil… Exactly what I needed after seven months of snow LOL. They had everything I needed right down to makeup removers. I would highly recommend Raven and Dusty’s Airbnb and I will definitely stay again on my journeys down south."
"Booked Raven's Retreat for our team offsite and it was perfect. Tucked away on private wooded acreage, we got focused strategy work done by day and bonded around the fire pit each evening. Hosts had everything ready. Ideal for a business retreat or team-building getaway. We'll bring the crew back!"
"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! :)"
"We had a wonderful time at the Unique Art Lodge at Raven's Retreat! We held a 2-day small corporate retreat for our annual planning and the Lodge was perfect! Lots of room, plenty of space to relax, beautiful views inside and out! Highly recommend!"
