The mountains don’t care about your to-do list. Neither will you.

But here's one to-do list worth looking at: everything you need to know about pricing, what to pack, what to expect at Lodge Weekends, and more.

The Experience

  • Every weekend has a structure, but it's not a schedule you have to survive. Expect movement, creativity, communal meals, campfires, and activities designed to get people actually talking, not just standing next to each other. The details shift weekend to weekend, but the feeling stays the same: you'll leave tired in the best way, with a group chat already going.

  • The first Lodge Weekends are intentionally small, around 10 to 12 women. This is by design. Smaller groups create faster, deeper connection. As Dame Lodge grows, so will the weekends, but the intimacy will always be part of the point.

  • Nothing is mandatory. Show up to what calls you, sit out what doesn't. The only thing we ask is that you show up to the weekend and to yourself. The rest is optional.

  • Both, at different moments. There's movement, and there's stillness. There are late nights, and there's sleeping in. Dame Lodge isn't a detox, and it isn't a bootcamp. It's closer to what a really good weekend with really good people actually feels like. A dance party is non-negotiable, though. Just so you know :)

  • Wifi and phone service will be available, we're not going full wilderness on you. That said, we'll gently encourage you to disconnect from your screen in order to connect to yourself, new friends, and the women you came with. Nobody's going to confiscate your phone. But you might forget it's there.

  • Everyone gets their own bed. For now, rooms are shared, think cozy cabin energy rather than hotel. As Dame Lodge grows, so will the accommodation options. Private suites are on the horizon.

  • Nourishing, generous, and designed to keep you happily full for the sake of pursuing fun and friendship. You won't be hungry. If you have dietary needs, let us know when you book and we'll make sure you're taken care of.

Getting there

  • Dame Lodge weekends take place in Colorado. The nearest airport is Denver International (DEN).

  • We'll help coordinate carpooling from Denver so you can start making friends before you even arrive. More logistics details will be sent once you book.

  • The first Dame Lodge weekend is happening May 15–17, 2026! If you'd like to sign up or learn more, join our email list and you'll be the first to know all the details and when new dates open up.

Coming solo and fitting in

  • No. Most people don't. Solo travelers are the whole point, Dame Lodge is designed so that you arrive alone and leave with your people. The programming is intentionally built for connection, not just proximity. You won't be standing in a corner hoping someone talks to you.

  • You're in good company. Dame Lodge isn't a networking event or a party where you have to perform. The activities create natural entry points for connection, which means you don't have to manufacture small talk, it just happens. Introverts tend to do really well here.

  • Probably not, and that's kind of the point. There's something that happens when a group of women shows up without existing social dynamics to navigate. Everyone's starting fresh. It tends to accelerate the kind of honesty and warmth that takes years to build otherwise.

  • If you're reading this page, probably yes. There isn’t ‘one type’ of woman who comes to Dame Lodge; they’re people who decided to show up for themselves. The hardest part is booking. The rest takes care of itself.

Pricing and booking

  • Pricing varies by weekend depending on location, season, and sponsorship support. The more partners we work with, the more we're able to offset costs for attendees.

    Beta weekends are priced to cover costs. Ongoing Lodge Weekends will range from $1,000 to $1,500, reflecting the full experience.

    If you'd like to know the exact pricing for an upcoming weekend, sign up, and we'll send you all the details directly.

  • Dame Lodge is a fully produced, small-group experience. The price reflects lodging, food and beverage, programming, materials, facilitators, and the behind-the-scenes work required to make the experience feel seamless rather than scrappy. We design for comfort, care, and fun without cutting corners. This is not a retreat you have to "make work." It's something you get to show up to.

  • Your stay includes lodging, all meals and snacks, all scheduled activities, supplies for workshops and creative sessions, and facilitation designed to help the group actually connect. There are no surprise add-ons once you arrive. If it's part of the experience, it's covered.

  • Not at the moment, but we're working on it. Stay tuned.

  • Very. Many people pause before spending on something that's about joy rather than utility. Dame Lodge exists in that space. You don't need to prove productivity or earn your way here. Wanting this is enough.

  • You're not alone, and you're not doing anything wrong. At the same time, you don't need a perfect rationale to say yes to something that adds meaning, connection, and laughter to your life. This is one of those choices that tends to make sense after, even if it feels vulnerable before.

  • It's both. You're paying for a few days away, and you're also investing in friendships, memories, and a version of your life that includes fun on purpose. Those returns compound in quieter ways, but they're real.

Packing and logistics

  • Think comfort over fashion, this is not a fashion show and nobody is here to impress anyone. You'll want cozy clothes, pajamas, something you can move in, and something silly for the dance party (themed, of course). Since we'll be outside as much as possible, pack for the season: sunscreen and a bathing suit in summer, warm layers and snow boots in winter. Dame Lodge swag will be waiting for you when you arrive, and a full packing guide will be sent ahead of your weekend.

  • Lodge Weekends take place in the Colorado mountains. Colorado has seasons, and we embrace all of them. Each weekend is curated to its location and time of year. Winter might mean snowshoeing. Summer might mean swimming. If the weather throws a curveball, we'll pivot and make it memorable anyway. A detailed packing guide will be sent ahead of each weekend.

The hardest part is booking.
The rest is just showing up.
