Group Workshop Retreat to North River in Gloucester County, Virginia

North River is the ideal setting for meetings, workshops and groups up to twenty people. Privacy, and our ability to tailor our accommodations to fit your needs, assure a perfect retreat experience, whether you’re discussing ideas, practicing yoga, or putting together scrapbooks. Our large library-meeting room easily seats twenty people at tables. Telephones, FAX, and high speed Wi-Fi Internet are available, as is a fully outfitted kitchen, and all-day coffee and cold drinks. Our handsome sitting-room serves as an adjunct meeting and “breakout” room to the primary conference room. North River offers several miles of quiet walks for conversation and discussion — along the shore . . . down our country lanes . . . to our rare 18th century ice-house . . . inside our 18th century walled garden, a full acre-square.

Artists’ Retreats

At North River, we especially encourage artists to come and practice their medium! Whether you are a writer, a painter, a musician, come solo or bring a group of your fellows. The large meeting room in Creek House has excellent acoustics for groups rehearsing. Our several miles of shoreline, our pastures, orchard, meadows and woodland all provide stunning spaces for landscape painting, or for the writer taking a walk. If you are a group of artists, please contact us so we can help you plan a productive visit to our fairytale setting.
