There have been retreats and mountain wellness resorts in the SC mountains for many decades. They all share the common main attraction and suggestions of enjoying their beautiful campus/grounds in the redwoods. The rooms are spartan, self reflection is encouraged and efforts are made so the meals are good. The issue is that rates have always been outrageous for what you actually get and I've always felt like "I don't want to stay on the grounds, I want to explore away from people" For locals I cannot see the draw other than maybe an expensive place to hide.

The forests are out there for all of us anytime we want them and you can find that moment of calm for free, every single day if you want to. It's what makes living here so special.
