2023 Personal Retreats at The Barn at Boyds Mills

Personal Retreats at The Barn at Boyds Mills

We invite you to book a personal retreat with us at our campus in northeastern Pennsylvania, The Barn at Boyds Mills.

We have availability for a stay through mid December, 2023. There is a 3-Night Minimum.

On your personal retreat, time is yours to focus on your work, be in nature, and spend as you please. No structure. No schedule (unless you make one).  You can come as an individual, or with friends, critique groups, writing partners, etc.

We’ll provide you with:

• Pick up from a local airport and bus stations if you need it for a small fee,  or free parking on site if you drive.
• A cozy, private place to stay, with a writing table and other amenities, including hot beverage center and round the clock snacks in the great room.
• Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with the choice to socialize as you wish, eat outside in good weather, or take meals back to your room if you wish. Meals begin with dinner on the day you arrive, and finish with lunch on the day you depart.
• Computers and printers available for your use, plus wifi throughout the campus.
• Respect for the sanctity of your creative space.
• Additional work spaces throughout the campus.

Many choose to focus their time on work during a personal retreat, but there is also plenty to do nearby, including 2.5 miles of hiking trails adjacent to the property and many local adventures and points of interest.
