I’ve designed this exclusive retreat to be casual, relaxing and full of creativity. You can expect cozy details, a delightful home and plenty of creative downtime to spark your creativity, refresh your spirit, and create lasting friendships.

I love giving meaningful, creative gifts! It’s a fun way for me to spoil you while you are here and every artist needs good tools.
Here at Creatively Misty every supply for scheduled activities will always be provided for you. You will never be asked to pay extra for them. Just relax, enjoy and CREATE!
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by your very own welcome bag so you can continue your creative selfcare once you return home.

Located on the outskirts of Eugene Oregon, the whimsically delightful Big Red House offers a unique place to explore your creativity.

Creative Activities
Throughout our time together, we’ll create a make-and-take or two and have plenty of downtime for your own personal crating. By the time you leave, you’ll feel refreshed and inspired.
We’ll also spend time enjoying fireside mingles, socializing and group meals.
Bring your creative spirit and make something beautiful.
Self-care and Downtime
I firmly believe creativity needs space for quite reflection. We must make time to listen to our hearts and refresh our creative spirits. Taking time from our daily lives while being surrounded by nature is one of the most powerful forms of self-care. Nature has a way of calming the soul, invigorating the senses and inspiring the creative mind.
There will be ample downtime for everyone to find solitude and rejuvenate.
You’ll leave feeling refreshed and inspired to step back into your life with a renewed creativity.
Delicious Food
We’ll enjoy plenty of casual dining together.
Breakfasts will be simple and delightful pastries. Lunch will be an easy assortment of sandwiches and sides. We’ll enjoy scrumptious catered dinners after a day of crafting.
Savor every second!

Because I offer intimate retreats, I depend greatly on pre-booked occupancy and need to stay as full as possible to keep retreats from being cancelled. That being said, I understand that emergencies occur and have established a policy that I hope you too will find reasonable.
