Reviews
The Perfect Place to Reconnect with Self Creacon is a beautiful retreat space where you will feel cared for from the very moment you arrive. It is in this environment of loving support that such a deep level of healing, growth and reconnection with self is possible. The staff is amazing, helpful, kind and dedicated to the service of their guests.
The Ayurvedic meals served 3 times a day are delicious, nourishing and healing. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the grounds are beautiful even in the winter. The healing energy that is present there is palpable, and I am thankful for my week-long stay in such a special place.

A Great Week of Wellness and Relaxation Last week !!
I attended a a week long wellness retreat at Creacon. The retreat was booked and we filled all of the rooms. The staff catered to us all in exceptional ways. We were treated like VIP's with the daily refreshed rooms and healthy meals prepared by 3 on-site chefs.
I especially enjoyed unwinding with herbal teas or a glass of organic wine at the end of the day.
The grounds were beautiful and the gift shop is stocked with beautiful items that can help to extend the peacefulness you feel in this place when you get home. This is the place if you are holding any kind of a group retreat or workshop!
