General Info

Centrally located within 40 minutes from the University of Georgia and Clemson, the Bowers House Writers Retreat and history hotel is a lodging facility in a small northeast Georgia town that has gained new life as a place of peace and solitude for working writers and literary functions. Constructed in the early 1920s as a hotel and restored in 1997, There are seven private rooms and the house can accommodate up to twelve overnight guests. Generally, there are one or two writers in residence, however, there are certain opportunities to use the property exclusively, and several workshops or readings occur monthly at the facility. We also welcome visiting guests private hotel rooms and private baths for a two night minimum. We seek donations and sponsorships to bring underserved/minority/multicultural promising artists to the facility who might not otherwise have this opportunity, and conduct episodic programming of their creative output during their residency or retreat via BOWERS HOUR. We seek joint venture programming and retreat opportunities and customized events and residencies and work with retreat and grants housing/residency directors for artist placement and lodging. Reservations are taken by phone 954-888-8948
