This year we are having 2 retreats at Roughley Manor, this is a beautiful compound in the middle of the dessert, I was fortunate enough to attend a retreat back in September and I fell in love with the place!

Here is the scoop:

The Place:

The Manor is located on 25 secluded acres, just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park.
Nestled within a setting of old Washingtonian palms and cypress trees, the main house was
Completed in 1928, and is constructed of native stone with Vermont maple flooring throughout.
The Manor's Main House is three stories tall with two suites. There are five fireplaces throughout, including one in each of the two suites. A "great room" that is 22' x 50', is furnished in a manner that invites lounging on the comfortable couches in front of the fireplace.
Separate from the main house are seven unique buildings. Five are individual cottages. The
Cottage, the Farmhouse, the Pool Bungalow which opens to the pool and hot tub, and the Sunrise and Sunset Rooms. Also, the original museum building has the Pinto and Museum Rooms. Additionally the Barn has the Oasis Room, Palms Room and the Cholla Room in it. All These rooms are BEAUTIFULLY and uniquely decorated. The accommodations are double occupancy so…grab a girlfriend and join us! You can also bring your hubby and he can relax while you scrap, we have a couple of husbands coming already!
