Just wanted to share some of our most recent comments from a couple of our wonderful clients........
Dear Courtney and Bo ~
I enjoyed myself so much at The Hickory Nut Gap. You are gracious hosts. You took care of our every (eclectic) need. LOL. Your flexibility and kindness was wonder-full. The land, food, ambiance, activities, and community/family vibe is so sweet. I just loved it. Thank you so much for having us and playing with us.
Peace,
Cleaster Cotton

The Hickory Nut Gap Inn..... Oh my.....I hope we get to stay 3 days some retreat! We'll share the cost! The aesthetics of old time woodcraft, mixed with cosmic, warm hosting, excellent food, fun, comfort and service.....wow.... Mary ODwyer and I escaped from our day to day lives, to share space with kindred souls. How lucky.

I usually try to meditate an hour a day if I'm lucky. At Hickory Nut Gap Inn, I closed my eyes, let go, .......something sweet whisked me away for hours. The only distraction was laughter. Like spiritual turkish taffy,,, I'd like some more please.....Bo, Courtney, Trilium....and...Aslan??? :-)

Thank you!

Tom ODwyer

"Every board and staff in visioning retreats only rise to their potentials if the space is excellent, the food is nourishing, the atmosphere is inspiring, effective work and play spaces are available, and everyone feels welcomed. Hickory Nut Gap Inn creates the ultimate place for a retreat. The place along with the Inn keepers and Chef Courtney have created a place that nourishes, inspires, and allows for magical connections to happen."
Thank you for the extraordinary care and kindness!
