Hitting the Halfway Point
Halfway. We don’t do things that way. It’s just that we are halfway through the year. Sweet and sad at the same time. For the next few months, we are jamming! And for good reason: it is Ossum here in the summer. If you have not made a summer trip to the New River Gorge, […]
Mowing Grass is Our Least Favorite Chore at Opossum Creek Retreat
I hate to mow! Especially hate it in the spring when all the pretty flowers are coming up. Only two of the cabins really have yards; The Meadows and The Farm House. All the others are in the woods. But even with just two yards, we still have to mow. The Farm House has rich […]
A Big Thank You to All Who Were Part of the New River Birding and Nature Festival
We love to make our guests cry. Wow, what a week! So much fun, so much hard work, so many people to thank. Opossum Creek Retreat is the happy home of The New River Birding and Nature Festival. For one week a year we entertain about 100 people a day, feeding them, taking them on […]
Events at Oppossum Creek Retreat & New River Gorge
Bang! Like getting shot out of a cannon! (On my bucket list, by the way.) That’s how we start our season. The New River Birding and Nature Festival (April 29- May 4) is our Daytona 500. Yes, I just referenced NASCAR in the same sentence as a nature festival. We like doing it this way; […]
Weddings at Opossum Creek – We Love This Stuff!
Aw! The first wedding of the year just took place at Opossum Creek! The seasons fade in and out, and lovers keep joining us to bind their lives together at Opossum Creek Retreat. What’s the allure of OCR (other than the picturesque perfection)? Exchanging vows here is something special. Each ceremony reflects the unique bond […]
In a Valentine’s Day Panic? Opossum Creek to the Rescue!
Don’t worry, we do Valentine’s Day everyday, all year long. I really I could read some of the comments in the guest books to you, but I get choked up. Vday always seems to create a lot of pressure on all sides of the holiday. Who says you have to be at the top of […]
Yoga Retreat Returns to Opossum Creek Retreat in 2013
Yoga is not for everyone; neither is Opossum Creek Retreat. And I don’t think they should be. The local Yogis here in the New River Gorge and from Kula Yoga Studio in beautiful downtown Fayetteville are really excited about having another yoga retreat at Opossum Creek. It has been a long time in between. Too […]
Countdown To … Nothing?
Stop the presses! The world will end on Dec. 21. We’re not taking reservations after the Mayan calendar expires in 17 days. How are you spending your final 17? Wouldn’t it be quaint to spend the last few days of time as we know it holed up with your loved ones, cherishing each other and the natural […]
