Rest . . . Retreat . . . Reset
Instead of asking,
‘Have I worked hard enough to deserve rest?,’
I’ve started asking,
‘Have I rested enough to do my most loving, meaningful work?’.
-Nicola Jane Hobbs
Are you ready to slow down?
Within a two-hour drive of St. Louis, you'll discover Lovely Day Getaway near Salem, MO.
The retreat space sits on 10 acres. It includes a house, beautiful garden, barn, and garage with a one bedroom apartment that is available to rent.
The 360 degree views and a wraparound porch at the house provide opportunities to enjoy all directions.
We want it to feel like a home away from home for you. You are invited to rest, retreat, reset.
We understand that rest looks different for each of us and is a very personal journey. Our culture is one where we all work hard.
And we are wondering:
Who is calling you to slow down?
Who is making sure you aren’t depleting?
Who is reminding you that when you are rested and rejuvenated you will feel your most alive and probably do your best work?
It looks like that responsibility is on each of us. You are the one who will decide it’s time to step away and carve out some time to just be.
Mother Nature is the best teacher in this work. You can just sit back and let her take the lead.
Rest
Stop, Pause, Play
Grab your family, friends, or both and spend a day together. You can wander the fields, dig in the garden, cook something tasty in the kitchen, sit and enjoy the views.
You can do all of those things, or nothing at all.
Your day, your choice!
Explore Ideas and Connect With Nature
Do you need a day retreat with your colleagues to connect and figure out what’s next?
Find your way among fields of flowers and rolling hills. Time spent together in nature away from your normal surroundings can bring unique ideas to life.
Mother Nature is the best facilitator. She will lead the way.
Retreat
Reset
Enjoy a solo retreat. Claim some time just for yourself.
Take in the views. Walk the fields. Find some peace.
Finish that painting. Play that song. Write that story.
There is a comfortable one bedroom apartment above the garage where you can rest, retreat, and reset for as long as you like.
The dome of endless sky at Lovely Day Getaway inspires us.
We hope it inspires you too.
Clouds drift and float.
Gorgeous blues change and glow.
Cows moo in the distance.
This is definitely not city living, folks.
It’s different.
It’s slower.
It’s beautiful.
And the possibilities are as endless as the sky.
