Rest & Relaxation Weekend PLUS ~ Autumn

This fall we are excited to offer a Rest & Relaxation Weekend PLUS to close out the 2025 year! Join us as we weave the theme of harvest into our weekend, celebrating the rewards we reap from tending to our self-care.

Compared to our standard R&R weekends, this Rest & Relaxation Weekend PLUS will offer an increased variety of optional activities including Yoga, Meditation, a Guided Nature Hike, a Bonfire, and more! You will also have an opportunity to add on Massage Therapy or Reiki appointments. All of this alongside our miles of hiking trails and Natural Reflecting Pond with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains showing their beautiful fall colors.

Choose to do as little or as much as you’d like. No required schedule…no demands…just the opportunity to “be” on your own terms. There will be other individuals who will also be enjoying Elohee on their own terms, so you may have a chance to make new friends or just enjoy the weekend on your own – it’s your choice!

Meals include arrival dinner on Friday through departure lunch on Sunday, and we’re happy to provide healthy, delicious, and wholesome food for your enjoyment. Please click on the “Register Now” button to see pictures of our lodging options and to register.
