Artist Retreat

  • Burnthill is ideal for artists, writers and composers or anyone wanting to concentrate on their work in relative seclusion. While the facilities are rustic and small, Burnthill offers quietude and the idea of getting back to 'basics'.
  • Amenities such as supplies and materials, postal services, digital services, groceries, etc, are located in nearby Sequim, WA, just a short drive from the cabin at Burnthill.
  • At this time, space is limited to working out-of-doors, in the cabin or in the open air shelter. Artists must provide their own tools and supplies. A small shed is available for storage while on premises. 
  • Burnthill is now pleased to have a propane operated kiln! We are outfitted for simple pottery production under an open air sheltered studio. (more information coming soon!)
  • Burnthill Retreat is a short commute to Seattle (2 1/2 hours including ferry). This allows residents to travel to and from for professional endeavors or just to do some sight seeing! In addition to Seattle, the Olympic Peninsula has many local artists and musicians. Port Townsend is nearby home to Copper Canyon Press and the Centrum Residency program.
