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.

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.

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

The modern log classroom building is available to groups, teachers, or businesses for private meetings, workshops, classes or conferences, and to individuals for a retreat studio space.  Limited housing is available for classes, meetings, or for a personal retreat. 

Guests from across the country & around Colorado have been enjoying Rivendell since 1998. 

We look forward to sharing Rivendell with you, too!
