| The entire retreat and its grounds are for the common use of the residents, with the exception of the working/bedrooms and their bathrooms. If you choose to spend some time working in one of the common areas, you are welcome to leave your project where it is with the agreement of the other residents. |

| The main sitting room is referred to as “The Nest,” and it is where we often spend our evenings discussing each other’s work.The movie and music loft houses a well-stocked library of both music and movies along with the systems to play both. The extensive libary of books is scattered throughout the retreat. The conservatory with its tile floors and glass walls is both a workshop and studio space.The gallery features work by resident and local artists and is a working space with a computer available for Internet access. Residents also have access to the telephone by using a phone card, a fax machine, a scanner, printers, and a single-sheet copier. |

As in most places where people gather, the kitchen is heart of the retreat, and the kitchen nook is where most meals are served. Because of the early morning light that streams into that space, residents often find the kitchen nook a good place for before-breakfast work. To help support the need to relax after working creatively, residents use the Jacuzzi and the sauna, and once a week, a skilled masseuse sets up in the loft to provide massages.
