TESTIMONIALS

"I set out for a solo retreat for 5 days. The staff were kind and respectful. The grounds were well kept and the trails in excellent condition. The food was mostly homemade, satisfying for my body and my taste buds! I took some meals solo and others staff would join me. The rooms were modest, quiet and just what I expected." - Cindy C.

"A wonderful retreat. I went for focused, quiet time to revise a lengthy piece of writing, and I made terrific progress thanks to the peace, solitude, and beautiful surroundings. Amenities are great, and I loved the healthy vegetarian food and supportive, thoughtful staff. The cost was very reasonable for a room in a beautiful lodge and being served three meals a day! Highly recommended." - Martin C.
