WhAt Do We Mean by a 'Rustic' Writers' Retreat?

At the Stumphouse Writers’ Retreat, we invite you to embark on a journey of creativity and connection. It is an immersive experience where the natural splendor of the region serves as your muse. Stumphouse has curated a haven for writers of fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction, offering an environment that sparks creativity and fuels imagination.

Nestled within the tranquility of the Chattooga River Lodge & Campground, this retreat offers a harmonious balance of comfort and simplicity. Here, you’ll find nine individual guest rooms/studios, each thoughtfully furnished with essentials like a desk, office chair, personal coffeemaker, and mini-fridge. These cozy rooms provide the ideal setting for writers to delve into their work without distraction.

If your inspiration thrives more with the whispers of the wind and the rustle of the leaves,  the Chattooga River Lodge & Campground has abundant outdoor spaces. From the sprawling wisteria-draped patio attached to the lodge to several individual designated workstations (or writer's pods) equipped with chairs and desks along the creek in the campground, you’ll find the perfect spot to let your creativity flow amidst the natural beauty of the property.
