Folkenvale Retreat Center

Folkenvale is a magical oasis on 12 acres in beautiful Meadow Vista, CA. It sits in a river valley at 2,000 feet of elevation in the magnificent Sierra foothills (above the fog and below the snow), on the unceded land of the indigenous Nisenan people, represented today by the United Auburn Indian Community. To learn more about their work, including land restoration, visit www.auburnrancheria.com.

At the confluence of a year-round creek and the Bear River, Folkenvale includes a cozy but expansive home and healing matrix of land replete with abundant wildlife, small waterfalls, stunning valley views, on-land hiking trails, river frontage for swimming/fishing/resting, a hammock forest, outdoor shower, picnic tables and hot tub.

Retreat guests will enjoy comfortable private or semi-private accommodations, wood stove, nourishing home-cooked food (some of it sourced from nearby Foothill Roots Farm), and all the aforementioned amenities. Watch the nightly sunset and stargaze on the deck, fall asleep to river music at the end of a long day, and wake up to birdsong with a cup of coffee in the solarium. Just to exist here, time out of time, heals body and soul.

Folkenvale is available as a straightforward vacation rental here or on all the traditional rental sites. Additionally, Molly will hold several retreats a year here: check this space for offerings, or subscribe to her newsletter. Molly is also available as catering & hospitality coordinator if you would like to rent Folkenvale for a themed retreat where you offer the content and recruit the attendees, and Molly handles care & feeding. Folkenvale can accommodate between 6-18 people depending on sleeping arrangements. Email her form on the Work with Molly page to start a conversation.
