Amazing Retreat

Our weekend stay at this beautiful property was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt an incredible sense of peace and intention throughout the space. It became the perfect backdrop for a meaningful getaway—full of laughter, deep conversations, meditation, and pure joy.The home is thoughtfully curated, and it’s clear how much care and love went into creating this retreat. Every corner invites you to relax and be present. Even though we couldn’t quite figure out the pool light (our only tiny mystery!), it never took away from the experience.A heartfelt thank you to Victoria & Derek for being so responsive and helpful during our stay—your support made everything seamless. We're so grateful for the time we had here and the memories we’ll carry with us.

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Shaw

Host profile image
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!
