Welcome, Friend!

If your house was on fire, what are the first things you would grab? (after your loved ones, of course!) My guess is that you would grab your family pictures, scrap books, and treasured quilts. These are the things that mean the most to us, so why don’t we invest more in making them? Red Dirt Retreats are about making memories. A chance for you to meet with old friends and make new ones. To relax and be pampered a bit. To come away giddy that you accomplished something you have been dreaming about but just never got to. Maybe even something you would carry out first in a fire.

What makes us special?

• Versatility:
  Want to sew or quilt? Or maybe mountain bike and knit? Read a book, then jog, then scrapbook? Wake up late and stay up late? Or get up early, take a midday nap, and then work into the wee hours? Excellent! So do we, and we can accommodate that.
• Location
  View the beautiful LaSal Mountains out the back door, or the Pine Lodge meadows out the front. Enjoy the rustling oak brush in the cool summer breeze. Our lodge is located at 7000 feet elevation, just perfect for that summer retreat.
• Opportunities
  Like to hike? Try Mount Peale (a 13,000 feet adventure out your back door). Or bike the red rock trails around Moab.  Visit Canyonlands or Arches National Parks. Or take a leisurely drive through the mountains, viewing elk and deer. The opportunities are endless in this unique area.
• Accommodations
  We guarantee you 6 feet of dedicated workspace for your entire visit. Don’t worry about your scattered project, just leave it there to return to later. Like privacy? We have private work rooms for you or a few. Or set up in the main hall, where there is constant activity and visiting. You might even like to set up on our large covered porch and enjoy the mountain breeze while you work! Our spacious lodge can accommodate you and all your friends comfortably.
• Wonderful food
  Great home-cooked food. Dutch oven dinners included! Fresh-baked, homemade breads, and plenty of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables.

We invite you to come join us on one of our regularly scheduled retreats for women OR SCHEDULE A PRIVATE RETREAT OF YOUR OWN.
