What Is Frogwood?


		Frogwood is no longer a retreat center, but these web pages are provided so potential buyers can see how it used to be run, in case starting a retreat center is something you might want to do. The cabins are currently rented out to residential tenants. The following is from the recent retreat center business: Frogwood Lodge Retreat Center is a not-for-profit multi-use facility in a beautiful remote and private natural setting in Boonville, California (Mendocino County, a 2.5 hour drive from SF). Frogwood can be a group retreat spot (for up to 60 people), a cabin-rental get-away, conference center, workshop classroom, meeting space, party and wedding venue, personal retreat facility, and more. We offer our large and beautiful Lodge building, well-equipped community kitchen, dining room, several fully-furnished cabins, deluxe hot tub in the Redwoods, and some walking trails. (Please see our Facility page for more details.) *Sorry, we do not allow pets.* Open for Rentals: Our private and beautiful forest facilities are currently available for rental. Free use of our incredible hot tub and lounge decks is included with rental! We currently have several cabins and our Main Lodge available. We also offer camping sites in the redwood, fir and madrone forest. The Main Lodge consists of a 1000 square foot multi-purpose room with two bathrooms, and a commercial-grade kitchen and dining room downstairs. Each cabin is furnished with bathroom and a well-equipped kitchen. FLRC Mission Statement: Frogwood is a community project dedicated to land stewardship, and to providing this magical and sacred space for gatherings and personal retreats.
