  • BRING YOUR LAPTOP OUT ON THE OCEANFRONT DECK ALONG WITH YOUR COFFEE MUG TO IGNITE YOUR CREATIVITY.

  • IF YOU'RE LUCKY, YOU MIGHT EVEN SEE A POD OF DOLPHINS.


  • ENJOY WATCHING THE MOON RISE OVER THE WATER AND VIEW PLENTIFUL STARS TWINKLING IN THE BLACK-VELVET SKY.


  • DON'T FORGET ABOUT SOAKING IN THE HOT TUB ON THE DECK!


WHAT A GREAT NETWORKING OPPORTUNITY TOO!


RELAX, LEARN, WRITE, REPEAT. 

ALL OF THIS WHILE HONING YOUR WRITING CRAFT. LORI HAYES IS AN AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR WITH TEN BOOKS UNDER HER BELT. HER DELIGHT IS TO HELP YOU BREAK DOWN YOUR CRAFT INTO SIZABLE BITES. SPEAKING OF BITES, SHE IS KNOWN FOR HER DELICIOUS FOOD FIT FOR A FEAST. IT WAS SAID MORE THAN ONCE THAT HER RETREAT WAS LIKE FAMILY  AND FRIENDS COMING HOME FOR A HOLIDAY MEAL.



This retreat is all about you, self-care, and learning what works to finish that book.


AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST:

Learn topics most writing conferences don't cover ... SELF-CARE OF A WRITER--YOU!

BOOK ROOM

November 11-15, 2023-- Book now!!

BOOK YOUR ROOM WHILE IT'S STILL AVAILABLE. November 11-15, 2023

This house rents for $25,000 during prime season, so grab a chance to stay at this luxury retreat while you can. Waking up to the natural light, listening to the sounds of the ocean, and watching the waves will inspire you. You can even soak in the hot tub on the deck. But grab your spot soon because these gorgeous bedrooms with private bathrooms won't last long. 


One of the many wonderful benefits at a writers' retreat, besides learning and meeting new people, is the delicious food prepared just for our group. This is a chance to learn your craft in an intimate, small setting. Take advantage of this unique oceanfront retreat and book today.

ELEVATOR!

There is an elevator, but be aware, there are six steps to navigate on the main floor first.

STUNNING VIEWS of the ATLANTIC OCEAN

The stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean have always been Lori's favorite. The North Carolina Outer Banks are loaded with pirate lore, shipwrecks--it is called the Graveyard of the Atlantic for good reason!--and is also known for its pristine but rugged beaches. The lighthouse is within a ten-minute drive as well as tours available to see the wild horses Lori writes about in her novels. There are two wonderful bookstores nearby, one housing a delicious coffee shop.

ARE MEALS INCLUDED?

Yes, they are! This is a luxury retreat and includes your education along with a beautiful, peaceful room, and delicious meals.
