Rick, an accomplished ceramicist who also teaches at Northwestern Michigan College, is available to guide you during your retreat. Tap into his extensive experience to gain the knowledge and confidence you need to successfully tackle any ceramic project.

The Ultimate Maker's Vacation: Whole House Rental + Private Ceramic Studio Access.

Be one of our first guests! Book your stay at a special discounted rate during our 2025 launch year. You'll become an integral part of our development process, providing the essential feedback we need to optimize and perfect the studio space for all future creators.

You may occasionally catch a glimpse of the Whistling Frog team at work in our separate pole barn studio across the property, where we design and execute our custom tile murals and fireplace surrounds. We're busy making art, but your privacy is our priority—the Retreat house is entirely yours to enjoy, relax, and create without interruption.
