FAQs

Let’s set the record straight—this Pilates retreat isn’t about luxury. That’s exactly why it’s special.
This July, we’re heading to the lake for a cozy, down-to-earth escape and movement that feels good. It’s about simplicity and community.
This is a true cabin experience, which means shared bathrooms—just like summer camp, but better! The facilities are clean and comfortable. It’s all about embracing a simpler way of living, stepping away from the usual comforts, and finding ease in nature and connection.
There are 3 showers in the cabin and the lake right outside our door.
And speaking of stepping away—there’s no WiFi at the cabin. This retreat is the perfect excuse to unplug, be present, and take a much-needed break from screens. You’ll be soaking in the fresh air, moving your body, and embracing the beauty of being fully in the moment. Of course there is WIFI at the tuck shop and office so you can check in with loved ones whenever you need.
