"Wow! My group of cross stitchers and crocheters could NOT stop raving about Raven’s Retreat Unique Art Lodge! It truly was a glorious 4 days of crafting, laughing, cooking, and fun. Raven and Dustin were super responsive when we had a few questions. They even stopped by for a bit (with our invitation) to see what sorts of art we were creating. The lodge was well maintained and clean. Accommodations could not have been more comfortable and inviting. The inside and outside areas created a safe and beautiful haven for our stay! We will definitely be considering this lodge for our next retreat."

"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. 💜"

"My girlfriend and I went to the Ravens Retreat for our anniversarg and it was beautiful. The home was a perfect place to stay for a couple. It had everything we needed right there at our convenience. The hot tub and sauna area was very quite and secluded which made for very relaxing nights. All in all its a beautiful property right in the middle of all the parks. Highly recommend coming here. We will definitely be back to see the Klad House :)"

"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! :)"
