About the host
Hosted by Victoria Shaw
Cactus Blossom Retreat was the realization of a dream I never knew I had! One day I had the random idea to open a retreat center. It was nothing I ever thought about before, but is stuck with me. I started looking for properties, just for fun, and discovered this beautiful property now known as Cactus Blossom Retreat. I knew instantly this was "The One." You feel the magic the moment you step on the property.
Why they chose this property
The property feels serene and private, while at the same time only being an 8-minute drive from the highway. It truly is the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
Cactus Blossom Retreat boasts 4.5 acres of botanical garden worthy plantings and 360 degree mountain views, which creates a lush and luxurious retreat experience. You can watch the sun and moon rise and set over the mountains, and on a clear day you can even catch a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean!
