The Shed Retreat

I was looking for a place to do a personal spiritual retreat, and Kurt and Heidi's place was exactly what I needed. I only wish I had been able to stay more than one night. Will definitely go back!

Loved the shed decor and over all cozy vibe! Chocolate cupcakes and hand written notes upon arrival were an added social touch that made the welcome to the Shed Retreat even sweeter.

The bucket toilets were an interesting experience but props for a creative solution that doesn’t require extra plumbing ☺️

Overall a very enjoyable getaway weekend!

We had a wonderful time! Kurt and Heidi were incredibly kind and hospitable. One of us were able to overcome a traumatic experience by going kayaking successful and Kurt was a great help in orchestrating the kayaking trip.
Definitely recommend the shed!!

This was a great stay! Kurt and Heidi were very welcoming and friendly and the place was very cozy. We enjoyed a relaxing kayak trip, nice campfire and playing with the kittens. Having a toilet and shower as well as access to a kitchenette made it a very fancy glamping experience and there was a good amount of privacy considering it was just behind their garage. Thanks again! We had a great time!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Shed Retreat very much. It was a clean, comfortable, and relaxing space. The property and creek were beautiful. We took advantage of the bicycles, and rode into town one day. Would also recommend kayaking on the Eel River, which we thoroughly enjoyed. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful escape, this is it.

It was very nice and quiet we really enjoyed the animals and definitely recommend taking the kayaks out very beautiful and fun .. there hospitality is top and am looking forward to returning in the future… thank you again for a wonderful stay

The Shed Retreat exceeded all expectations for a quiet, peaceful retreat to clear our minds and renew our spirits. Working in healthcare and with young children, life can become loud, busy, and chaotic, and we were wanting a place to rest our heads away from the busyness of the world. When we arrived, we received a friendly welcome from the hosts. The shed was quaint and clean, readied for us with A/C on, coffee in stock, and delicious brownies baked. We enjoyed the fresh around surrounding us, walking path to the water, multiple outdoor seating areas, and fire pit with plentiful wood. The roaming, friendly cats and baby kittens were added bonuses to keep us entertained! The hospitality extended by the hosts was refreshing as well: ensuring that we had what we needed and extending invitations to help make our stay even better. We are excited to come back another time to continue to adventure in this perfect place of peace!

We were only there for 2 night but it was quiet and relaxing and romantic. The town is so beautiful and everyone was so friendly. Kurt and Heidi are amazing hosts. We are looking forward to planning more trips to North Manchester and to The Shed Retreat.

My stay at the Shed Retreat was everything I had hoped for and more. I stayed in the shed after Thanksgiving and was pleasantly surprised with how warm and cozy the shed was. I took a bike ride into town, enjoyed spending time by the river, and built multiple fires. Kurt and Heidi were welcoming and made my stay comfortable with thoughtful treats throughout my stay. I truly enjoyed my stay and hope to stay again.
