"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."
"Great place, great hosts, awesome experience! Will definitely be back!"
"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!"
"Very beautiful place to stay and not too far from the State parks. Raven and dustin are very friendly and accommodating. The details in the building are absolutely stunning. It's a great place to unwind and relax after a big day of hiking. The sound of the frogs around the pond at night were a nice change to the city sounds we're used to. Overall, we were very impressed and would definitely recommend staying at Raven's!"
"We stayed at the Pollinator tiny bungalow and it was absolutely perfect for our trip. We were close to all of the sites we wanted to visit but with a private retreat to relax in as well. The bungalow is well thought out and has everything you could need. All while being very visually appealing with the finishes and decorations. We enjoyed all of our time spent at the Pollinator and would highly recommend it to others looking for a unique and relaxing stay."
"I loved my stay at Ravens Retreat! This is one of the most unique Airbnbs I've stayed at. The attention to detail and artwork made by the owners is incredible. The lodge is cozy and has the most comfortable beds for a great night's sleep. The owners were nice enough to give me a tour and share the stories behind their art pieces. They really put so much work and love into this lodge and it shows! It snowed during my stay and was it was heaven to watch the snow fall from the sauna and soaking tub! The fully equipped kitchen had everything I needed plus more. I really enjoyed reading by the fireplace and how peaceful the surrounding area is. I highly recommend adding a live wood carving performance during your stay Dustin created such a beautiful personalized peice for me take home that I will cherish forever. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!"
