Winter Writer's Retreat

A Magical Winter Getaway in Roberts Creek

 2015

Complete your thesis, novel or book of short stories surrounded by forest, rain on the roof and wind in the trees. You, snug as a bug in a rug, cosy and concentrating. Bring your laptop. Weekly rates for writers start in December @ $500/ week, includes a steaming pot of the coast's best coffee first thing every morning and free wi-fi.

Local editing and proofreading services  available on the Sunshine Coast.

Ask about participating in a small local writer's group: share a portion of your manuscript in the big house and receive feedback from published writers.

For your daily exercise, walking and hiking to the woods, to the beach is minutes away.

Yoga by the Sea, a health food store and two restaurants are within walking distance of Art House. The bus stops at the bottom of our street - so if you don't have a car, you can still get around. 

In nearby Gibsons and Sechelt you can avail yourself of the local rec center: yoga classes, weights, squash, swimming, ice skating -- even hockey.

If you want to get out, local coffee shops welcome you at any time of day.  (Gumboot Garden (Roberts Creek), The Basted Baker in Sechelt, Strait Coffee Traders in Wilson Creek (great for lunch), Smitty's Oyster Bar, Sweet Water Bistro, Salt Water Chophouse (Gibsons), The Blue Heron (Sechelt) and many others! 

Stay at Art House for Christmas and New Year's

We'll decorate your suite in the Christmas spirit!  Enjoy hot chocolate, coffee & tea at Art House, plus complimentary wine for two at The Gumboot Garden Cafe in the Heart of the Creek. 

Enjoy many local holiday events (The Nutcracker Ballet! magical light show at the Botanical Garden, numerous choirs, craft fairs, local dinners, the latest movies and shopping in Gibsons and Sechelt). 

Send us your phone # katiegeehicks (at) gmail dot com and we'll call you back to make a reservation.
