Why This Retreat is Perfect for You and Your Friends

Sometimes, the best way to recharge is to escape the everyday groove.

Claar House at CGC Camp offers the perfect mix of comfort, nature, and connection for a girlfriend’s getaway.

For just $230 per person (minimum 10 guests), enjoy 2 nights of lodging and 6 delicious meals—all in a serene setting that feels like upscale camping, or glamping with your favorite people.

1. Glamping With All the Comforts

Claar House gives you the best of both worlds: the beauty of the outdoors with all the amenities of a cozy lodge. This is glamping done right—enjoy hot showers, beds, coolness in Summer or warmth in Winter, and a full kitchen—all surrounded by a peaceful forest.

2. Bring Your Own Touch of Cozy

Adding personal comfort touches turns a good retreat into an unforgettable one. Make the weekend uniquely yours! Pack your:

  • Favorite mugs and herbal teas

  • Snuggly blankets or fuzzy socks

  • Matching robes or pajamas for a themed night

  • Journals, candles, books, or games

  • Cozy blankets and fluffy pillows

  • Flowers and flameless candles

3. All-Inclusive for Easy Planning

With six meals included with your stay, you won’t need to coordinate takeout or cook for a crowd. Meals are thoughtfully prepared so you can focus on bonding, laughing, and relaxing—not grocery lists or dishes. Making it an annual event makes it even easier.

4. Room to Spread Out or Snuggle In

Claar House sleeps up to 20 people with 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms (including one accessible suite). There are various indoor gathering spaces, as well as an outdoor deck that’s perfect for morning yoga, happy hour chats, or quiet stargazing.

5. Reconnect With Nature (and Each Other)

This isn’t just a trip—it’s a chance to reconnect on a deeper level. The peaceful forested setting invites slow mornings, long walks, and real conversations. Something is grounding about getting away from screens and to-do lists, and just being together.

6. Activities or Stillness—You Choose

Whether you want to:

  • Create a spa night with face masks and nail polish

  • Go for a group hike

  • Journal in silence

  • Have a playlist-fueled dance party

  • Play Marco-Polo in the pool

The space supports whatever vibe your group needs, which is easy to customize. Check out our sample itinerary for a Girlfriends Gathering at Claar House in Foresthill, California.
