Writers Retreat: Moss Mountain Inn, Columbia Falls, MT

1 Comment

Moss Mountain Inn is pretty amazing on a lot of levels. First of all, the place functions as writer’s retreat from September through May. Secondly, it is right near Montana’s glorious Glacier National Park. And third? It is a fully organic, green property. Hunter and Debi Moss will be your hosts, cook your meals, and if you sign on for it, Debi will mentor you in your writing while you are there as well.

A professional writer since 1984, Debi has some fantastic publishing credits which include Outside, Bicycling, Discovery and Chicken Soup for the Soul, to name a few. Views of the national park and even a balcony are yours to enjoy. There is also a solarium and two libraries at your disposal. It doesn’t get much better than this people! The price is right too–$149 per night–including an organic breakfast! (Writing services negotiated individually)

Check out the site–and if you get to go–post here and let everyone know how it was! (You’ll make me very jealous!)

Writer’s Getaway: Belton Chalet, West Glacier, MT

Something about the west has inspired writers and artists for as long as it has been settled and The Belton Chalet is truly an inspirational place. An updated, yet still old-fashioned feel makes this a wonderful place to settle in and write. Sit on the amazing decks and gaze out at the mountains, take your laptop down to the resturant deck and sip a glass of wine as you type, or simply curl up by the fire and make the most of the atmosphere.

There is an on-site spa if you’d like to indulge yourself. Box lunches are also available if you want to take a ride to Glacier National Park–only a short drive away if you need an even more dramatic backdrop for your writing. A popular spot–so reserve ahead of time. Another one of my favorites!
