On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the cabin?

Please enter a number from 1 to 10.

Space

What is your opinion of the retreat venue based on the amount of space available in the cabin:

There was enough room. I had my desired level of privacy, was able to connect with others, and did not feel like the cabin was too crowded or empty.

There was too much room. I felt distanced from other attendees and didn’t have enough opportunities to connect because the cabin was too big.

There was not enough room. It felt crowded and I couldn’t find a good place for alone time.

Future Facilities

More options for private rooms/tickets

Meet at a conference center instead of a cabin (get my own accommodations)

A designated writing area/quiet space

More private bathroom space

Other (please explain below)
