I am considering a 2025 spring yoga retreat. The location I found is in Bethlehem, NH. It’s called the Maplewood Inn where I have hosted company weekends before. We currently have the first weekend in May booked ~ and I am looking at additional possibilities.

It is ~ 2 hour drive from New London. We need to book 10 rooms to make it viable for the inn to host us. The cost is $250/night, plus 8.5% tax ($271.35/night). At that price they can’t allow for 2 people to share a room and spilt the cost.

The room rate covers the room, the yoga space, and 2 breakfasts. For the rest of the meals, we would be on our own. (additional $$). There are great options for lunches and dinners.

The area is great for hiking, walking, biking, hanging out along the Ammonoosuc River, golfing, shopping, etc. We could stay 2 or 3 nights. 2 nights gives us 4 yoga classes; 3 nights gives us 6 yoga classes. For either of these options we would begin the retreat on Friday late afternoon.

This pricing is very similar to 2 other options (the place we’ve stayed before in VT (The Big Picture Inn), and the Rosewood Inn in Bradford.) I have spent many hours over the years looking for appropriate space. It is difficult to find:

• enough rooms

• adequate bathrooms

• and a room large enough to practice yoga.

The Big Picture Inn (where we have been on retreat twice) in VT is lovely and has a nice yoga room ~ but the yoga space is just large enough for 10 people. As you will see from the pictures below, the Maplewood Inn has a gigantic room for us to practice. And the cost is comparable.

FYI ~ I pay for my own room & food, and I do not charge for the yoga classes.

Please let me know your thoughts and ideas. Obviously, there's no pressure to attend. I know it’s a big commitment on many levels. That being said ~ we would need to commit very soon.

The pictures below will give you an idea of the space.
