Best Solo Wellness Retreats for Travelers

"I traveled from Sonoma County, California to lead a retreat with 9 participants at Raven's Retreat, and I was blown away by the beauty of the lodge and the surrounding nature. It was the perfect place to hold a wellness retreat. Simply being there is a healing experience, and it was an excellent setting to feel supported moving through deep processes as well as making connections with community. A two minute walk in the forest is a deck in a shaded area, which we used for one of our practices. And just outside the lodge is a wonderful fire pit already set up with seating all around. The lodge itself is a creation of art, which invites presence, mindfulness, and a sense of wonder. The bedrooms and sleeping arrangements were comfortable and plenty, and the kitchen was stacked with everything we needed. One week later I am still thinking of the majesty of this place and I am happy for anyone who gets the opportunity to visit and stay at this beautiful retreat center."

"Its was a beautiful place to get away and just relax with one another. My husband and I enjoyed the scenic view watching the birds while playing a game of Scrabble. We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary and we could not have picked a better place. Thank you Dustin and Raven for a memorable stay. We hope to come back!🫶🏻"

"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."

"We recently stayed at Raven's retreat for a relaxing and quirky bachelorette with some friends. Raven and Dustin made planning super easy and were friendly and welcoming. The retreat itself is beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed to rest, relax, prepare some great meals, and ultimately have a quiet getaway. While you can definitely have an entire weekend of just staying at the retreat and unplugging, it's also close to some great trails and waterfalls. Highly recommend!"

"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!"

"In celebration of our ten-year wedding anniversary, my wife and I spent a week at Raven’s Retreat in Hocking Hills. We were seeking a secluded place away from the city, that would aid in providing rest, relaxation, safety, and peace. We found all of those things in Raven’s Retreat, a small, eco-friendly cabin, tucked back in the quiet woods of Laurelville, Ohio. Built with purpose and out of love for people in need of recharging and reconnecting with nature, the cabin is located on 58 beautiful acres of protected and preserved land. The space is largely no-frills yet completely unique and full of character! It does, however, boast a king-size bed and a private hot tub. We spent part of every morning and evening sitting out on the back deck observing native wildlife that navigated their way around the pond and through the woods behind the cabin. We cooked breakfast using the small electric range and convection oven, and then made lunch and dinner with the propane grill. On nights we didn’t feel like cooking, we treated ourselves to dinner in town. We ended almost every day by relaxing in the hot tub or sitting around a blazing bonfire. The absence of noise and almost zero light pollution allowed mother nature to sing and light up the dark night sky. We could have spent every second on the property, but we did spend some time hiking through two of the several public parks in Hocking Hills. They were quite breathtaking. Even when we lost connection with Google Maps (Wi-Fi and LTE are spotty), driving through hilly backroads ended up being fun and enjoyable! This peaceful trip gave us the chance to slow down, recharge, and reconnect through meaningful conversation, breaking bread, reading and writing, singing and playing music, joking around and laughing out loud, and pondering things without being strapped to a screen and schedule. I am evergrateful for the time we had to celebrate life and ten years of marriage. Thank you, Raven and Dustin, for creating and sharing such a special and inspiring space. Blessings to you both!"
