Weekend Trip to The Art Farm Women's Retreat

Beautiful land, lovely stay and Laura is so kind and accommodating! Can't wait to plan another getaway here.

4 nights at The Art Farm Women's Retreat

We enjoyed our stay. It's a very nice and relaxing place. We'd definitely stay again when in the area.

The perfect little crash pad when you just don’t feel like setting up a tent.

What a lovely, peaceful retreat especially for women!!! Met amazing women and also had plenty of time and space to myself. Accommodations are clean. Host and helpers are beautiful souls and so accommodating. I plan to return and bring more ladies. What a gem!!

I scheduled an overnight get away for myself here and it was great! I was the only one there and built a fire that afternoon and enjoyed it. I would go back and recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Art Farm Women's Retreat

I loved being able to have my weekend getaway here, even with the flood warning. The directions were clearly and the hosts were very communicative. The bathroom was close, which was nice. The stay had everything I needed, from coffee to fresh water to camomile tea! Would stay again in better weather and def recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Art Farm Women's Retreat

What a wonderful spot! Laura was so welcoming, and helped me find a great spot to pitch my tent even in the midst of rain. The hot tub was incredible, and I only wish I could have stayed longer. Can’t wait to come back.

1 night at The Art Farm Women's Retreat

I showed up late after work one night and they were still so accommodating and kind to me. Beautiful place and people.
