“I was absolutely thrilled the entire time I spent at the retreat. I was very well accommodated based on all of my preferences, the host was very communicative, adjusting and very kind and has made my birthday one to not forget I have to say I was looking for the bedroom when I got there but seeing it placed where it was at was a very pleasant surprise haha I truly enjoyed my stay, from the sauna, fire place, inside the yurt to the curated experience and amicable atmosphere the host brought.”

“I recently joined three friends for a sound bath experience at Purple City Retreats, and it was truly amazing. The environment was beautiful, nestled in a serene wooded setting that felt incredibly peaceful and calming. The grounds were immaculate, offering all the accommodations you could possibly need, including a restroom. It was a truly calming and centering experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat.”

“Beautiful sanctuary, just minutes away from downtown Portland. Our private outdoor yoga session was amazing & hearing all of the different bird calls during our flow was mesmerizing. I experienced my first cold plunge followed by a reset in the sauna & I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Michelle has crafted a beautiful space. I can’t wait to be back!”

“This is a lovely place to getaway, with a lovely host running it! The amenities are perfect to foster an environment of wellness and relaxation. Perfect for couples, but would also be a great experience with friends. If you’re considering booking a stay here, an event, or just a spa day, you absolutely should!”

“I had the BEST time with Purple City I had a yoga session in the morning , followed by sound healing thereafter. I enjoyed a delicious charcuterie board, the best part is it was all delivered with ease. I didn’t have to go anywhere, which was fantastic for really relaxing. Every specific detail was so special and noted dearly , in my heart because of how much consideration they provided for their guest. The comfy bed, the sauna, the chairs on the deck. The beautiful decor, beautiful lighting, safe environment. The kitchen was full of lovely touches; beautiful cups, coffee, etc. The indoor fireplace was super lovely as well, added the best vibes. This place was awesome, I would definitely stay again! Thank you so much for a lovely weekend”
