Everything you need to know as you plan your time at Sundance Villa in the Driftless.

​

​

​

1. What is included in a Wellness Retreat at Sundance Villa in the Driftless?

Each wellness retreat brings together thoughtfully curated experiences designed to restore mind, body, and spirit. Depending on the retreat, your experience may include physician-led wellness and longevity conversations, yoga and mindful movement, nature immersion, creative experiences, nourishing meals, crystal sound bath, and Nordic sauna and cold plunge- all within the peaceful setting of Wisconsin's Driftless Region. 

​

Weekend Retreats also include overnight accommodations for 2 nights at Sundance Villa.

​​​

2. How many guests attend each retreat?

Each retreat is intentionally limited to just 8 guests, allowing for a personalized experience, a relaxed pace, and meaningful connection with fellow participants. 

​

3. Can I stay overnight before or after a Single-Day Retreat?

Yes. Guests attending a Single-Day Wellness Retreat may extend their experience with an optional overnight stay at Sundance Villa- either the evening before the retreat, the evening afterward, or both. 

​

Arrive after 4:00 PM and settle into the peaceful rhythm of the Driftless, with time to explore our five-acre property, walking paths, orchard, wildflower prairie and century-old grapevines. Depending on the season, enjoy a ridge-top sunset, quiet stargazing, or wake to a beautiful Driftless sunrise.

​

Overnight Stay $100 per guest, per night

Available for one or two nights in conjunction with a Single-Day Retreat. Overnight guests depart by 11:00 AM following the final night's stay.

​

*Select the overnight option when booking your Single-Day Retreat, or contact us with questions.

​

4. Who are the wellness retreats best suited for?

Our retreats are ideal for adults seeking time to slow down, restore, reflect, and reconnect with their well-being.  Guest are welcome to come solo or attend with friends, family members, or colleagues.

​

5. Do I need prior experience with yoga, sauna, or cold plunge?

Not at all. No previous experience is necessary. Activities are guided at an approachable, beginner-friendly pace, and guests are encouraged to listen to their bodies and participate at their own comfort level. 

​

6. Is the retreat suitable for all fitness levels?

Our retreat experiences emphasize gentle movement, mindfulness, restoration, and personal well-being rather than physical intensity. Guests are encouraged to participate according to their individual comfort and ability, and all experiences are optional.

​

7. What makes a Sundance Villa Wellness Retreat unique?

Sundance Villa offers intentionally small, physician-led wellness and longevity retreats within a historic Driftless farmhouse and its surrounding natural landscape.

 

Evidence-informed wellness and longevity conversations are thoughtfully woven together with restorative experiences including yoga, nature immersion, creative expression, crystal sound bath, and Nordic sauna and cold plunge. With retreats limited to just 8 guests, the experience is personal, unhurried, and distinctly different from a large resort or conference-style wellness retreat. Our focus is authentic, intentional, evidence-informed wellness- not trends or crowds. 

​

8. What should I bring?

We recommend comfortable clothing and walking shoes, along with a reusable water bottle and any personal items that help you relax such as a journal or favorite book. A yoga mat is also recommended.

​

For retreats that include sauna and cold plunge, please bring shorts and a T-shirt or swimsuit, along with shower shoes, water shoes, Crocs, or flip-flops.

​

9. Are meals included?

Yes. Our retreats include thoughtfully selected meals along with coffee, tea, and water throughout your experience.

​

We offer Regular and Vegetarian meal options catered locally. We are unable to guarantee accommodations for significant food allergies, highly specialized diets, or medically required allergen-free preparation. Please contact us before booking if you have dietary concerns so we can help determine whether the retreat is a good fit.

​

10. Where is Sundance Villa located?

Sundance Villa in the Driftless is located in the southwestern Wisconsin Driftless Region, a uniquely scenic area known for rolling hills, ridge-lines, valleys, farmland, oak savanna, and unglaciated landscapes.

 

We are approximately 30 minutes from the west side of Madison, and about a 2 1/2 hour picturesque drive from Chicago, offering the feeling of a peaceful countryside getaway while remaining easily accessible from major Midwest communities.​

​
