California Women's Writing Retreat Sept 15-20, 2024 (Private Room in 2-bedroom Cabin)

Five simple but comfortable cottages arranged in a ring surrounding a lawn make up the St. Stephen’s Village, where we will be sleeping. Each cottage has two private bedrooms (even if your bedroom has more than one bed in it, the entire bedroom is yours). You’ll share the cabin community area living room and bathroom with a cabin mate, so if you’re traveling with a friend, you can request them to be your cabin mate at check-out. The rooms are not air-conditioned but the nights are cool in Sept (in the 50s), so you can open the windows to get some natural AC.
