If there is a road between fact and fiction, between the harsh realities of life and the figments of paradise, it is the 1/3 mile dirt driveway to Lazy Goose. And if life does imitate art, it's at Lazy Goose where real world angst and intrusions give way to humor and gentleness. The orchard, the multi-colored beehives, even the heirloom tomatoes - all of which will become a part of your experience - are mere visual references to a deeper solace found here. At Lazy Goose Retreat, you will find a serenity grounded in the belief that one can maneuver through the obstacles of life and come out for the better by living with simple tenets and finding purpose and synergy through one's passions.

In 2006, Gail and Art purchased an extraordinary piece of land and began building Lazy Goose's pastoral campus, one building at a time, with each square foot of the seven buildings custom-designed with one clear vision: to create a writer's and artist's paradise in their small corner of the world. Since then, Lazy Goose has been a loving work in progress and is now ready to receive guests and be the retreat in which your voice, whether with words or images, will be developed and the stage from which your voice will be heard.

The calm of Lazy Goose exerts a powerful response from guests, many of whom return for a fresh experience year after year. Lazy Goose is, indeed, a private haven for those who want to question the status quo and seek an authentic path through artistic expression,and a tranquil environment for creative expression.

Whether you hear a distant whisper and feel a faint longing to connect to something deeper in your soul, or you have a clear and urgent vision for artistic discovery and accomplishment, Lazy Goose Retreat can respond in kind by providing the environment, the belief, the tools, the instruction and the support needed for you to realize your dreams. It is, indeed, true that any one can paint and any one can write; that happens here, at Lazy Goose.
