retreat overview

this retreat is limited to 16 guests

This getaway was created to be small & exclusive so that we can share common areas in the same home, while also having plenty of room to relax in each of our own personal spaces. I want to foster community and embrace the needs of each guest’s unique personality. The retreat overview is below. After you’ve given it a glance, click on the buttons above to read all the fab details including the full itinerary including additional retreat basics, the accommodations including travel and climate info & the policies including links to travel insurance if you need it.

what could be more delightful than spending a beachfront 5-night long winter weekend in a mild climate with knitting workshops, local artisans, a day in charleston with a brilliantly talented on-site dyer amidst delicious meals and great company?

“nothing could be finer than to be in carolina in the {winter} moooooorning!”
