Plan a private residency/retreat for yourself or with friends and colleagues

Mildred’s Lane offers hospitality through the lens of contemporary art practices in the social and environmental realms.

OPEN MEADOWS residencies are designated periods for creative thinkers who need time, space, and inspiration to work on a specific project, write, read, or take a much-deserved retreat from the world. Here is a stunning think tank deep in the woods for you, your friends, your colleagues, and your classroom – practice living art. 

This is real, honest rurality – not fluffed up for commercial purposes; there are no servants – we ask you to serve each other in an artistic environment overflowing with character and collaboration.

Come for a weekend, a week, or a more extended stay. A landscape of historic vernacular agrarian outbuildings and discreet landscape interventions. Accommodations are art installations with rustic comforts ranging from fine glamping to artful lodging nestled in the woods with meadows, trails, ponds, and streams.

We provide local organic food, a kitchen laboratory, two great libraries, fireplaces/campfires. climate-controlled space for yoga, presentations, and other more spaces for more entertainment.
