01
Welcome Home
Our kitchen staff lovingly prepares comfort food (and accommodations for even the most complicated dietary needs). Relax knowing we'll take great care of you and that little thing called hunger.
Soda lover? Don't worry. We've got you covered.
03
Cost Conscious
Getting away to write America's Next Great Novel shouldn't break the bank. We keep our costs low for our budget loving writer while also providing private rooms for those needing a place of their own. Note: our private rooms can be split to up to three people.
Prices range from $300 for a twin in a bunk room to $1300 for a private room.
02
Bedtime Stories
Authors receive constant criticism when writing but have no fear. Join us for Bedtime Stories where EVERY author gets resounding applause!
Come, be brave and help build your fellow authors in creative confidence.
04
Community
Come as a stranger, leave with a community. Our attendees (and staff) are eager to help both your story and your craft. Have a late night plot talk or an early morning vent sesh, we've got you covered...even after the retreat ends. Welcome to the Story Spark Community.
