In the organiser's words
Quoted from dorlandmountainarts.org and checked on 3 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.
Celebrate Creativity with a new start! Experience the best of California this time of the year at Dorland. The air is crisp and cool with sunny afternoons-the perfect time to write, make art or music. Dorland Mountain Arts is a beautiful retreat where artists, writers, musicians, and composers can create in a secluded and protected natural setting. Dorland is located near Temecula Valley Wine Country, about 100 miles south of Los Angeles and sixty miles north of San Diego.
Individual cottages are complete with WiFi, window AC, good cell phone reception, kitchen, bathroom, workspace, and a covered porch with magnificent mountain, canyon and Temecula Valley views. One cottage includes a Steinway baby grand piano and another has a Kimball baby grand. The Community Arts Center provides a library with Dorland works and a large writing desk with a typewriter, a meeting room, and a studio room with room for painting, exploring cyanotypes, and a small printing press for visual artists.
The extensive grounds feature a reflecting pond, a small lake with a rowboat, and hiking trails that wind through the property. Dorland invites residency requests from visual, literary (or other writing) and composing or performing artists. Residency stays may be as short as one week or as long as 6 weeks, based on requests and availability. Hurry--only a few late summer/fall openings available! See Cottage Availability now.
