NEW: THE FIRESIDE WRITING RETREAT

AT EARTHSHINE LODGE

January 9 - 11, 2026 ~ The Fireside Writing Retreat

(add-on day option available through Jan. 12th)

Earthshine Lodge, Lake Toxaway, NC

The artist Andrew Wyeth once wrote, “I prefer winter … when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.” Winter is indeed the perfect time to turn inward: to construct or refurbish our creative scaffolding. Join Guest Host Katherine Scott Crawford in the mountains of Western North Carolina at the remote and beautiful setting of Earthshine Lodge for a writing retreat weekend crafted entirely for you.
