Room to breathe…
Cornucopia Lodge & Pack Station
Welcome to your home base for the Creative Alchemy Retreat. Located 12 miles outside Halfway, Oregon, the Cornucopia Lodge & Pack Station is the gateway to the Eagle Caps and the Wallowa Mountains. Situated in the largest expanse of unincorporated wilderness in the lower 48 states, the area boasts designated wild and scenic rivers like the Minam and Imnaha, 53 high mountain lakes, 540 miles of trails, granite crags, and steep-walled valleys formed by ancient glaciers. The lodge is also a short drive to Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America. It runs along the border of Idaho and Oregon and was cut by the Snake River.
Investment
The Cretive Alchemy Retreat is an all-inclusive experience as soon as you arrive at the lodge. We’ll be staying in beautifully appointed, off-the-grid cabins that surround the main lodge. Shared room/twin beds are $950 for 3 nights. This includes all meals and planned activities. There are 3 queen rooms for those who like a little more space at $1150. There are also 2 solo queen suite cabins for $1350. Bring a friend to share a queen bed or cabin and we’ll take $250 off both of your registrations!
If you feel like this is meant for you and need a creative payment plan, please reach out. We are flexible.
