You asked. We delivered. Our dream U.S. retreat is here!
You asked. We delivered. Our dream U.S. retreat is here!
Blue Ridge Mountains, waterfall rappelling (optional!), and a venue that feels like Joanna Gaines designed it.
You’ve been asking for a domestic retreat—and it’s finally here.
This one is close, affordable (honestly, the flights blew me away), and—best of all—no jet lag.
Welcome to Shenandoah National Park and the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Blue Ridge Mountains hold a special place in my heart—I turned 30 here, and I’ve been dreaming about coming back ever since. So when a stunning wedding venue reached out, offering us their off-season dates, it was an immediate yes.
This venue isn’t open to the public—it’s a private, dreamy space that feels like Joanna Gaines designed it herself.
Think: cozy luxury, gorgeous details, freestanding tubs, and the perfect backdrop for a soul-filling week away.
What’s on the itinerary?
Fly fishing
A lazy canoe ride
Moderate hikes through incredible trails (including parts of the Appalachian Trail!)
Scenic drives that will have you pulling over every few miles for photos, Elise won’t be disappointed if you want to stop every 30 seconds ;)
And for the adventurous: optional waterfall rappelling (yes, you can skip this and still have the full retreat experience—no FOMO).
This retreat was designed with accessibility in mind—if you’ve ever worried about physical limitations holding you back, this is the one.
Spots are limited, reserve yours now.
Let’s make memories in the mountains—together.
