The Art of Letting Go
Experience the artists you follow online, in person, at an unforgettable lakeside retreat where creativity, connection, exceptional food, and the freedom to let go are all part of the experience.
Come for the art. Stay for the experience.
Edgewater Studio retreats are intimate, fully hosted experiences on Deer Lake, bringing you closer to the artists and thought leaders who inspire you.
Small groups create room for real connection, hands-on learning, creative freedom, and time together beyond the workshop.
An award-winning culinary experience, chef-prepared meals, lakeside accommodations, and thoughtful details woven throughout your stay—so all you have to do is arrive and enjoy it.
Everything you want. Nothing you don’t.
Waterfront Studio
A purpose-built creative space right on the lake, designed for making, experimenting, learning, and letting go.
Lakeside Cabins
Private accommodations on the water, with space to rest, recharge, and make yourself at home.

The Experience
This is what getting away is supposed to feel like.
At Edgewater, everything you need is right here—the lake, the studio, your cabin, an award-winning culinary experience, and people who came for the same reason you did.
The days have a rhythm, but are never rushed. Create for a while. Sit by the water. Gather around the fire for chef-prepared meals. Laugh longer than you meant to. Try something new.
There’s nowhere else you need to be and nothing you need to manage. Just a few days to create, connect, eat well, slow down, and be fully present.
That’s the Edgewater Experience.
What Guests Say
The kind of weekend you deserve.
— Cassie F.
"They spoiled us! We were completely catered to and pampered. From the massages on the dock the first day to lattes at our beck and call. Spoiled. Food was Un. Real. The food prepared by Chef Alexa was top notch at every meal. It was like having 5 star meals on the dock. I felt completely catered to and (sadly) spoiled for the real world when it was time to leave."
— Heather T.
"What you are doing is special. Creating a space for people to feel like this and heal and grow isn’t something the world seems to care about anymore. You make us feel seen and loved."
— Mellissa H.
"The people!!! From staff, teachers, hosts to participants! Rare breed!!! Unbelievable people! Blown away! Including Callen and Billie and everyone along the way!"
