Relationships require attention and care to remain healthy. When you invest in your relationship, it improves. When you ignore your relationship, it will drift toward disconnection. Your marriage cannot run on auto pilot because connection must be pursued and prioritized. You are invited to join us this Fall with your person for 3 incredible days of relaxation and re-connection.
Reclaim the spark, disrupt your routine, find that "girlfriend" or "boyfriend" energy again!
Fort Lewis Lodge is a tranquil and posh environment with a breathtaking natural setting, comfortable spaces, and extravagant hospitality. It is a great place to reconnect with one another, with other couples, and with God. There is an onsite restaurant, bar, and a balance of private and communal spaces to help you connect. The lodge is located about 3 hours from NoVA in the hills of Millboro Virginia - just far enough away to feel like a true escape.
Our program will include some content to strengthen communication, promote intimacy, and increase friendship. Group time will also be limited to leave you plenty of time alone as a couple to connect and enjoy the weekend. There are many activities onsite, including breathtaking hiking trails, a wood-fired steam sauna, fly fishing on the Cowpasture River, kayaking, mountain biking, and more. You will be able to do all of it or none of it - this is a retreat for you so you set the pace. Want to enjoy a glass of wine while star gazing? Let's make that happen. Want to walk along wooded trails as you reconnect with your person? We've got that too. Want to take a nap in a hammock next to a mountain stream? We've got that covered as well.
This is a significant investment, but your marriage is worth it! We have broken up the cost into two payments - one due at registration and the balance due later. Space is strictly limited because of the quantity of rooms, so don't wait to register. We have also tried to give different options so you can pick what's right for you as a couple.
• All meals are included in your registration price. Breakfast and Dinner will be served in the Lewis Lodge dining room and include farm-to-table menu options. Lunch on Saturday will be picnic style on your own. If you want any special food, drinks, or snacks, please bring it with you.
• Don't waste the drive time! Your retreat begins as soon as you pull out of your driveway. We will provide conversations starters, podcasts, recommended stops, and other options to make the most of the drive down to the Lodge.
• Plan to pack for unpredictable weather and whatever outdoor activities you'd like to participate in. The dress will be casual and comfortable throughout the weekend, even at meal times.
• This is a weekend where alcoholic beverages are available and can be consumed. Use wisdom and be responsible - the goal is connect to your spouse, so do what's right for you as a couple. Wine from local wineries can be purchased on site, beer and wine are served nightly at Buck's Bar.
• The lodge is remote, but there is wifi access in the buildings and limited cellular service.
• We highly recommend arriving as early as you can on Friday. The last leg of the drive is on rural roads so plan accordingly.
Take a step toward the relationship of your dreams!
