RETREATS + EVENTS
Cornet Bay Sanctuary offers limited, small-scale retreats and events that align with the spirit of care, presence, and respect for the land.
Each experience is shaped by season, length of stay, group size, and the offerings you choose to include. We work closely with you to design a stay that feels supportive, spacious, and truly your own. An invitation to arrive, exhale, and be.
Retreats
Cornet Bay Sanctuary offers a limited number of small-scale retreats each year, intentionally designed to support deep rest, creativity, and meaningful connection. Retreats function as full or near-full sanctuary buyouts and involve a high level of preparation, coordination, and stewardship to ensure the land, spaces, and guest experience are fully supported.
In addition to exclusive use of the property, retreats often include advance planning, space setting, pacing support, and coordination with trusted local partners for catering, nourishment, and experiential offerings. We work closely with retreat hosts to ensure each gathering is set up for success—from arrival to closing—while protecting the integrity of the sanctuary and the surrounding environment.
Because retreats place a greater operational and energetic demand on the space, pricing reflects season, length of stay, group size, selected add-ons, and level of facilitation or support required.
Starting at:
3-night buyout from $4,500+
Weekly retreats from $10,000+
Events
Cornet Bay Sanctuary also hosts a small number of values-aligned events each year, such as intimate celebrations, milestone gatherings, and community-centered occasions. Events are structured as partial sanctuary buyouts and require exclusive use of the property for the duration of the gathering.
We prioritize events that align with the sanctuary’s core values of care, presence, respect for the land, and reciprocity. Event pricing includes an overnight stay plus an event use fee and reflects season, guest count, duration, setup needs, and the additional stewardship required before and after the gathering.
While events are lighter in scope than retreats, they still require thoughtful preparation, coordination, and reset. We work with hosts to ensure gatherings are well-supported and successful, while intentionally limiting the number of events we host each year to protect the land, the space, and the quality of the sanctuary experience. All event inquiries are reviewed for alignment.
Pricing begins at $2,500+
Pricing is customized based on season, guest count, duration, setup needs, and level of stewardship required.
