Our forty acres includes a modern log meeting room/classroom, lodging options, and trails wandering through diverse ecosystems. You may stay a day, a weekend, a month, or anywhere in-between.

Consider a personal retreat, come with family or friends, or rent the classroom for your business meeting, or for classes or workshops that you lead or teach.

The Rivendell Retreat is both a location and a state of mind. Perched at 6300 feet elevation on the edge of Redlands Mesa, it has mind relaxing views of the West Elk and Raggeds Wilderness areas, the distant San Juan mountains, and the orchards of the North Fork Gunnison River valley.

Come share the Rivendell experience. You will find opportunities to increase awareness, creativity, and self-discovery - to relax and rejuvenate, and interact with nature and wildlife.
Our mission is to encourage a sense of wonder — to evoke contagious enthusiasm for life-long learning, and to instill creativity and respect for others and nature.

As with its namesake in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings—Rivendell is secluded and welcoming—
a quiet place to find peace with nature and self, among forests, streams and wildlife.
