The Cabins

​

 

Grantsville, MD June 9-12th 2023 Retreat for a solo woman writer or artist

 

The Cabins is teaming up with the writer Kasia Merrill to offer a Maryland-based woman artist a long weekend in Kasia’s bucolic home in Grantsville, Maryland from June 9th to June 12th, 2023. The resident will have their own bedroom and bathroom, with shared access to a full kitchen, living room, wrap-around porch, a firepit and Grantsville’s beautiful nature right out the back yard. Though it will be challenging to reach the house without a car, Kasia (who will be present with her boyfriend Vano during the resident’s stay) can pick the resident up from the Cumberland, MD Amtrak station, take them by a grocery store so they can stock up on what they need, and return them to the train station after their stay. Interested creatives can view photos of the property here. Kasia has two cats in the home, so it isn’t a suitable property for anyone who is allergic.
