Welcome to Oestara House, an artist and musician retreat!

Oestara House, located in Brewster, Massachusetts, takes its name from the English deity whose feast was celebrated at the time of the spring equinox. Oestara celebrates vitality, rebirth, and creative energy. As an artists’ retreat, Oestara House offers time, space, and fellowship to experienced and emerging artists in contemporary music, visual, and literary arts.
