Looking forward to Fall and Winter!

As summer begins to wind down, we are looking forward to the wonderful autumns we have at Hidden Valley Retreat and Spa. In the fall and winter, a peaceful serenity falls over Hidden Valley. The crisp air creates a refreshing atmosphere that is only augmented by the cool light coming through the branches of Hidden Valley's protective tree grove. In this environment, walking along the various Hidden Valley trails becomes a meditative experience that both awakens the senses and quiets the mind.

While the cooler seasons can get a bit chilly, Hidden Valley is never truly cold (this is San Diego, after all!). In addition, the brisk weather makes indoor activities all the more luxurious. In the Main House, our guests and their families can spend time curled up on the couch watching movies (we have a big collection to choose from!), and enjoying the spectacular, big window views at the same time. A cozy fire in the fireplace sets the perfect atmosphere. Past groups have taken advantage of the time to invite a yoga instructor to teach private group classes in the Event Center. In the evenings, loved ones can cuddle together around the outdoor fire pit to roast marshmallows and enjoy each other's company. These communal activities are perfect for spending time together during a wedding, family reunion, or retreat.

The country environment of Hidden Valley Retreat gives everyone who comes the chance to notice and appreciate the special complexities of nature in every season. Spring and summer have much to offer, but we adore the cooler months at Hidden Valley as well! We hope that everyone will one day get the chance to experience the refreshing, natural atmosphere of Hidden Valley in the autumn and winter.

Irish and Peter... continued!

We already wrote a blog post about Irish and Peter's wedding, but we recently received a new batch of stunning shots from Photographs by Anjuli, and we had to share! The photos are so beautiful, and Peter and Irish's loved ones have so much personality. The pictures completely speak for themselves. Take a peak!
