Private - The Sol Carnelian

Accommodation
Lodging at The Sol These are located under The Sol, which is our gathering space where the most action happens. Includes: Private balcony Hot shower and sink Natural fiber bedding Queen size bed Down comforter and pillows House-made organic and natural castile soap, hair conditioner, and shampoo For each of these cabins we offer a theme based on a select crystal in the room, to deepen your experience and learning while here.  These are simply offerings and not meant to be imposed upon you.  If you do not resonate with the themes, please disregard them, enjoy the other amenities of your room, and allow yourself to have the experience you desire. Sol 1 - Theme is ‘Passion and confidence’: carnelian Carnelian is a powerful stone for those who wish to build confidence, courage, passion, and power within themselves. It is of great help to gentle souls who wish for good things but have difficulty making them happen.  Carnelian is the color of fire and correlates to the sacral chakra, so it’s all about powering up your sexual energy and channeling it into expressing your unique creativity. This theme is reflected in the terracotta colored walls, the open space, and the vibrant earth tones sprinkled about. We encourage you to wake with the sun and make it your ritual of igniting your internal fire every morning, and use that energy to apply to the life transformation you desire. This room can sleep 4 comfortably (1 queen bed and 2 couch chairs that convert to twin beds).

Private A-Frame

Accommodation
A-frame - Off-grid luxury This is a detached and private cozy cabin.  The A-frame is for those who desire a completely off-the-grid experience while still being enveloped in comfort and luxury accommodations.  There is no electricity, water, or internet available in this unit - perfect for a restorative stay.  You can choose to stay in this cabin if you want to feel more connected to nature, value less outside energetic intrusion, and enjoy an optional open air living space with a whole wall that you can open onto a deck.  Inside of your cabin is a private compost toilet and instructions on how to care for it; however, for a flush toilet and a hot shower, you can go on a short walk and access our public facilities located by the dining room. This room features: Full size bed Indoor compost toilet Over-the-bed mosquito net Retractable and see-through wall

Private Room- The Sol Heart

Accommodation
Lodging at The Sol These are located under The Sol, which is our gathering space where the most action happens. Includes: Private balcony Hot shower and sink Natural fiber bedding Queen size bed Down comforter and pillows House-made organic and natural castile soap, hair conditioner, and shampoo For each of these cabins we offer a theme based on a select crystal in the room, to deepen your experience and learning while here.  These are simply offerings and not meant to be imposed upon you.  If you do not resonate with the themes, please disregard them, enjoy the other amenities of your room, and allow yourself to have the experience you desire. Sol 3 - Theme is ‘Love and tenderness’: green aventurine and rose quartz This room is about new life and growing into new possibilities.  It is reflected with the green colors and the plant life.  The heart over the bed reminds you of the sweetness available through our relationships when you do your best to be vulnerable and stay open to growth.  Green Aventurine is considered the stone of opportunity. It is said to increase perception and creative insight, and is one of the best crystals to work with for conceiving a baby (which can be human or your goals). Access the wisdom of green aventurine to be at peace with the constantly changing tides of life, never being too high or too low but rather holding strong in the center balance. While rose quartz represents love, this stone calls for you to do deep layerd work within yourself to forgive mistakes - yours as well as others. It carries a soft feminine energy of compassion and peace, tenderness and healing, nourishment and comfort.  This room comfortably sleeps 2 (1 queen bed).

Private Room- The Sol Labradorite

Sol 2 - Theme is ‘Trusting the mystery’: labradorite Labradorite is known as “the Stone of Magic".  It invites imagination and possibility, due to its iridescent nature. It’s believed to enhance intuition, reveal hidden truths, and support self-discovery, making it a powerful companion for personal growth.  This room invites you to trust the mystery of life and to spend introspective time to bring forth visions for yourself.  This theme is reflected in the way this room encourages more of an introspective layout.  The bed is tucked around a corner so you can experience a cocoon feeling.  The tunnel-like view reminds you to focus on only what is most important.  The blue hues invite you into a liminal space while the yellow says, “Don’t go too far into the darkness.  Remember the sun shines everyday to give new life an opportunity to live.” This room can fit 4 comfortably (1 queen bed and 1 couch that converts to a queen bed).

Great place to unplug!
I had an overall great experience at the retreat. The food was wonderful, and spending time on Tiffany and Colin’s land was incredibly peaceful and grounding. It was the perfect opportunity to unplug from daily life, slow down, and reconnect with myself in a meaningful way. The atmosphere felt welcoming and restorative, and I left feeling refreshed.

One area that could be improved is providing clearer pictures and more transparent information about room options, pricing, and availability, especially for larger groups. My accommodations ended up changing during the retreat, and the updated arrangement did not feel fully aligned with what I originally expected when booking. More clarity upfront would help set expectations and make planning easier for guests.

Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the retreat and appreciated the opportunity to spend time in such a peaceful and restorative environment.

A great place for relaxing
When our family decided to have a destination reunion this place stood out as the best fir our family. It was a beautiful place. Quiet, secluded, family oriented. The food was OUTSTANDING, the workers kind and helpful.
The best part the food was plentiful, all natural and mostly grown right on the acreage. The owner took us on a tour and explained what was growing, how its ripened. Oh the coffee beans are also grown there, and its EXCELLENT (I purchased 2 bags to bring home).
All in all a great place to visit.
Thank you so much Colin and Tiffany ( the chef).
