Unplug, unwind, and rediscover the joy of making at Riversong Inn Retreat.
The Riversong Crafter Retreat is a self-guided creative getaway designed for makers of all kinds—whether you paint, stitch, knit, color, or create simply for the pleasure of it.
Your stay includes a thoughtfully curated craft kit with all supplies provided, allowing you to explore watercolor, acrylics, knitting or crochet, embroidery, marker mandalas, and jewelry at your own pace. Create in sunlit rooms, along the river, or tucked away in quiet corners of the inn—no schedules, no pressure, just time and space to create.
Perfect for solo travelers, friends, or anyone craving restorative creativity, this retreat invites you to slow down, make with intention, and leave with handmade keepsakes and a full heart.
Come as you are. Create what you feel. Take the calm home with you.
Nestled along the banks of the Big Thompson River and just minutes from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, Riversong Inn Retreat offers a rare balance of peaceful seclusion and easy access to town. Surrounded by towering pines, open meadows, and mountain views, the inn feels worlds away—yet downtown Estes Park, hiking trails, and local shops are only a short walk or drive.
Wake to the sound of the river, sip coffee beneath blue Colorado skies, and spend your days exploring alpine trails, wildlife-filled valleys, or quiet moments on the grounds. Evenings invite you back to the calm of the inn—where starlit skies, fresh mountain air, and the gentle flow of water create the perfect backdrop for rest, reflection, and connection.
Here, nature sets the pace—and everything else can wait.
The Riversong Crafter Retreat isn’t a class or a workshop—it’s an invitation to create on your own terms.
Unlike traditional craft retreats with rigid schedules, instructors, and expectations, this experience is fully self-guided. You decide when, where, and how you create. Paint at sunrise by the river. Stitch in a quiet corner in the afternoon. Knit by the fire in the evening. There’s no pressure to “finish,” no comparison, and no right or wrong way to make.
Every guest receives a beautifully curated craft kit with all supplies included, thoughtfully chosen to support multiple creative mediums—from watercolor and acrylics to embroidery, mandalas, knitting or crochet, and jewelry. You’re free to explore one craft deeply or sample many, guided by your curiosity rather than a clock.
Set within the peaceful, nature-rich grounds of Riversong Inn Retreat, the retreat blends creativity with restoration. The river, mountains, and quiet spaces become part of the process, offering inspiration and calm that can’t be replicated at home or in a classroom.
Guests leave not only with handmade pieces, but with something more lasting: renewed creative confidence, mental clarity, and the memory of unhurried time spent doing what brings them joy.
This retreat is special because it gives you what most creative experiences don’t—space, freedom, and permission to create simply for yourself.
Tucked away in the Rocky Mountains, the RiverSong Inn is set on 26 forested acres where guests enjoy celebrating their engagements, weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions. As you’ll see in our bed and breakfast photos, we take care of all the details for your romantic getaway, leaving you free to focus on each other—whether you want to explore the area or relax in the comfort of your room.
Notice the fine finishes and special touches that make each of our 10 rooms unique. From soaking tubs to king-sized beds, fireplaces, and incredible views, each room has its own perks and personality. For example, avid readers will love the library in the Shooting Star room, while couples who enjoy their space (and panoramic views of the Continental Divide) will appreciate the three-room suite we call Forget-Me-Not. Indian Paintbrush, with its private patio and wood burning fireplace, is adorned with the artwork of Marie Channer, an artist from nearby Nederland. Take a closer look at each thoughtfully-designed space and decide where you’d like to settle in for a few nights in the mountains.
Every morning, we serve a hearty, mouthwatering breakfast using fresh local ingredients. We’ve long been on the cutting edge of culinary trends, and we’re prepared to serve a menu that will delight a wide range of palates and preferences. If you’re planning an early departure, ask for breakfast to go; if you’d rather sleep in, you can have it brought to your room.
In every season, the mountains are an awe-inspiring vision. From brilliant greens in the summer to frosty pine needles in the winter, blossoming flowers in the spring to the magnificent color change in the fall, visitors are in for one visual treat after the next, no matter what time of year it is.
You can see it all from the large windows in your room, but we invite you to take the paths that crisscross the property, leading you to hidden stream-side patios and clear meadows. A stroll through the trees as the sun rises gives you a chance to marvel at the visiting wildlife: as you’ll see, the elk, eagles, and others love it here as much as you do.
