You may schedule private retreats any time throughout the year. Overnight stays in the Guest House cost $60 per night (including three meals), or $50 per night (breakfast only). Double occupancy in the Guest House is $95 (including three meals) and $75 (breakfast only).
Hermitages
Two hermitages are available if you seek the solitude and peace of the woods. Each Hermitage has radiant floor heat and bath and kitchen facilities. Since the Hermitages are solar powered, the electrical outlets do not accommodate appliances like hair dryers or computers. Bring food for your stay, though staples are provided. Overnight stays in the Hermitage (single occupancy only) cost $50 per night (you provide your own food, minimum two overnights required).
Day Stay/Day of Prayer
Come for a day of quiet and personal prayer. You will enjoy a room at the Guest House to use for rest and relaxation during this day stay. If desired, arrangements can be made for you to meet with a spiritual director or holistic health practitioner. Day Stays are available for $26 (including room and lunch) or $20 (room only).
