Summer Writers Retreats, Anyone?

On this rainy grey morning in NYC, I'm putting together a short list of writers residency programs/retreats that are available, by application, during the summers. In addition to McDowell and Yaddo, do you know of ones to add to the list? Please post 'em in comments, and I'll post the complete list in a post down the road!

Here are some I recently learned about, to get us started:

Well Spring House
Ashfield, MA (pictured above)

Ragdale Foundation
Lake Forest, IL

World Fellowship Center

Blue Mountain Center
