Bend of Ivy Lodge Mountain Retreats and Conferences



In response to many requests, Bend of Ivy Lodge is now offering personal retreats at a very low cost. These retreats are intended for people seeking to deepen a spiritual practice or to spend time in solitude or with another person or two for creativity or contemplation. Because Bend of Ivy is designed for larger group retreats and workshops, persons coming on personal retreat should understand that:

  • Reservations must be booked within four weeks of the desired date

  • Reservations are subject to cancellation if a large group needs the space after the reservation is made. (In practice, this rarely happens within four weeks, but it is possible.)

  • Reservations must include a minimum of two nights.

  • No food service, instruction, or guidance is available; retreatants should plan to be entirely self-sufficient.

  • Retreatant(s) are expected to leave the Lodge or apartment clean and ready for the next guests.

    The following costs apply:
  • For the studio apartment, the cost is $75 a night for one person, $135/night for two; $190/night for three.

  • For the Lodge, the cost is $95/night for one person, $160/night for two, $240 for three, and $320 for four.
  • For the solo cabins, the cost is $45/night. (Cabins are equipped with microwave, small frig, and hotplate, but do not have plumbing. A chemical toilet is nearby, and showers are available at the studio or house.)
