Chico Canyon Retreat

Although the retreat center is closed for a few months during summer, when I contacted Dulcy, the owner, about arranging a retreat for myself, she instantly sent to work trying to accommodate me. This was the first sign that I was in for a special treat.
As we drove down into the canyon I automatically felt at ease, not only with Dulcy, but with the location as well. Dulcy was right when she said the canyon is a great place for rejuvenation and reclaiming one’s life. The location couldn’t be more spectacular. The retreat center is surrounded by the walls of the canyon that jut up all around. The seclusion not only removes you from all the hustle and bustle of daily life but it allows for you to be at one with nature. During my stay there, I loved watching the hummingbirds and finches visit the various feeders as well as the bird bath. That in and of itself was a calming experience. The creek is also within walking distance and can be accessed at various points along the trail. Dulcy and her team have worked hard to create multiple spaces for rest and relaxation along the creek where visitors can sit and take in their surroundings. When I first arrived she made sure she took me on a guided tour to familiarize me with the trail and creek.
Dulcy is an excellent hostess and my time at the retreat center exceeded my expectations. Her love for the canyon, it’s wildlife, and her desire to share it with others really shines through. Thank you Dulcy for such a special experience. I can’t wait to come back again!

The moment I arrived at Chico Canyon Resort I felt renewed. The natural ambiance is gorgeous and perfectly conducive for healing and relaxation. The practitioners were very kind and accommodating. I felt instantly comfortable and at ease. As an Esthetician, I have had many spa services and I must say the «Bliss» treatment was divine!!! This is not only a place to come and be pampered, but a place where you can trust that space is being held for your healing and wellness on all levels. I warmly look forward to my next visit!
