Look into this y’all- whether you’re aspiring or accomplished artists it’s so good for the soul!!" _Josh Kelley ( Can be found on his Instagram)

What a treat! Attending the Artist Retreat was an extraordinaryrewarding and fun event. The owners Jacqui and Billy were like meeting old friends from the moment I arrived. The took care of everything and were so well organized and extremely helpful. They are both kind and fun to spend time with and I already miss them and the other artists/participants. We were invited to start our morning with a yoga/meditation instructor and a five star gourmet breakfast that was prepared by Billy. Yummy! We then started our art sessions with a different local artist daily. They were all excellent caring teachers. Everyday we would eat lunch and dinner in some great restaurant that our hosts provided. Again, more good food. In the evenings we could have free time or attended other events, a concert, galleries, spa, etc. that were scheduled by Jacqui and Billy. All above was arranged by our extraordinary host and included in our stay at the beautiful and well appointed Bayberry Inn which is located a short walk to downtown Ashland. I give this experience a hundred plus stars! -Pasha Sept 2023

I had a wonderful, unforgettable time at the OWR Aspiring Artist's Retreat, and I highly recommend it! The Bayberry Inn is beautiful, and the owners made me feel welcome and pampered from the moment they picked me up at the airport. I loved meeting local artists and stretching my creativity in new ways. And the food was so delicious! I returned home feeling energized, empowered, and grateful for new friends and a fresh perspective. This is a very special place and I can't wait to go back! -Susan Nov 2024

Location, Fantastic Host, and dream retreat- this artist couldn't ask for more! I was introduced to the Bayberry Inn through their Oregon Wellness Retreat Aspiring Artist Retreat. The Inn was wonderfully appointed and my room (Bayberry Room) had the best view of mountains and trees! Their location is a short easy walk to downtown where you have your choice of parks, shops, restaurants, and entertainment. The breakfast services was so scrumptious and always welcoming! Billy & Jacqui love their Inn and what they do and it shows in the care of they give their guest. I came a stranger and left with a whole new set of friends! The Aspiring Artist Retreat was spectacular! We were introduced to local artist and had a creative adventure every day! I came home with so much art and a new fire was ignited in me to create more! I will be back for more of what they have to offer! -DeeDee Sept 2023
