What is keeping you from completing (or starting) the book that’s been on your heart and mind (maybe for years…)?
Does God keep prompting you to write, but you keep putting it off until you “have time”?
Would time away with professional writers (and no dishes) make a difference when it comes to making progress?
And what about spending time away talking, connecting, and dreaming with other writers?
the Red House Writing Retreat is just the place to get away from distraction and let you focus on the writer God placed inside of you.
We are professional writers who have facilitated numerous getaways, so we know what it takes to have a successful writers retreat, and it’s all included.
Just bring your writing project and yoga pants. We’ll take care of the rest.
The Writing at the Red House retreats happen several times per year, each with a different focus.
Our retreats are perfect for writers who want feedback and training on best practices.
We invite a writing expert to join our writers staying at the Red House.

Each comfortable and cozy space in the Red House is perfect for writing. You’ll find lots of room for focus and inspiration.
Is there anything better than a fire in the mountains? We meet at the fire pit every night for conversation and a warm drink.
Our retreats are postponed due to COVID. We have been busy working to make the Red House experience even better when you get here! We are hopeful and excited to resume. We are collecting inquiries for 2021.
