Seasonal & Themed Retreats at the McCleary Hotel

The McCleary Hotel is especially well suited for seasonal and themed retreats that honor natural rhythms, meaningful transitions, and intentional living. As an adult-focused, historic destination, the hotel offers a grounded setting where guests can step out of everyday patterns and into experiences shaped by time, place, and purpose.

Seasonal and themed retreats at the McCleary Hotel are designed to feel reflective, restorative, and thoughtfully paced rather than busy or overprogrammed.

Seasonal retreats at the McCleary Hotel benefit from:

• A historic building that invites slowing down and presence

• Rosie’s restaurant for nourishing, seasonally inspired meals

Seasonal and themed retreats at the McCleary Hotel may be structured as:

• Weekend retreats
• Multi-night immersive experiences
• Modular or recurring seasonal series
• Day retreats paired with overnight stays

Organizers may reserve guest rooms, studio space, dining services, or arrange partial or full property buyouts depending on the scope of the retreat.

Meals play a meaningful role in seasonal retreats, offering grounding and connection.

Through Rosie’s, retreat organizers may request:

• Seasonally inspired menus
• Plant-forward and warming or cooling dishes aligned with the season
• Vegetarian, vegan, and dietary-aware options
• Shared meals that support reflection and conversation

Menus are developed collaboratively to reflect both the season and the intention of the retreat.

We approach seasonal and themed retreats as collaborative partnerships, supporting organizers in designing experiences that align with the hotel’s atmosphere and the rhythms of the year.

Planning conversations typically include:

• Group size and lodging needs
• Seasonal timing and retreat length
• Space and schedule flow
• Dining preferences
• Desired level of structure and programming
