Need a break? Here’s an excuse to get away for a weekend for some peace and
quiet and to “hang out” with other like minded folk. Only a scenic
3 hour drive
north of the cities, soak in mother nature’s healing embrace to
rejuvenate, gain some
perspective, find some balance, and to get connected.
This is a very low key, relaxed retreat. We
encourage you to do as little or as much as you'd like.
If you want to work
on some inner issues and healing, we have a really supportive group to help you feel safe.
If you want to just have fun and chat and play with other like-minded individuals,
this is a great opportunity.
If you simply want to do nothing at all but stare at a
chipmunk trying to sneak into your cabin, hey, "more power to ya!".

weekend - SIGN-UP sheets located in lodge.

the ducks gather, a great blue heron spearing a meal
Sit back and notice the colors of sunset
Take a morning mist cruise around the lake on the
pontoon
Bask in the glow of a toasty campfire: watch for
shooting stars, listen to a trilling loon song, roast marshmallows and tell stories

pool, foosball etc.
Check out area antique shopping

Bike the 28 mile paved bike trail

KID POLICY: As you know, we
are VERY kid-friendly here at the resort, but we wanted to let you
know that for this special retreat, we schedule it on purpose the
weekend after Memorial Day and before most schools are out for the
summer to encourage a more adult atmosphere. By all means, bring
the kids if you like, but please know that for this weekend only,
the lodge arcade room will be shut down and the pool table will be
covered and unavailable throughout the entire weekend (no
exceptions). We ask that your kids avoid the lodge area, including
the mini-carousel, shuffle board court, snack counter, etc. while
any group meditation or chakra connection session is going on so as
not to disturb the participants. We hope that you will feel
available enough to budget for some “you”
time! Can’t wait to see
you!!!!!!!
