Accommodations & Rates

We are open to individual guests and groups 365 days a year. A variety of accommodations choices are available. We do recommend reserving your space well in advance for the programs we offer, as these popular events fill up quickly.

During programs and for group events, our dining room offers three delicious, buffet-style vegetarian meals per day.  All Retreat guests may partake of meals during these times. When meals are not being served, guests may rent cabins with cooking facilities in them and do their own cooking.

If you will be eating meals in our dining hall, we ask that you reserve them at least a week in advance; at this time, please advise the reservations staff about any dietary restrictions, such as gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan requirements. Meal prices are as follows: $7.00 for breakfast; $10.00 for lunch;  $10.00 for dinner.

There is a wide variety of accommodations available to suit every budget and need for quiet seclusion. We have several self-contained, roomy cabins that include a kitchen, dining area, living room area, full bath, and from two to four beds, accommodating from 1 to 5 people comfortably. Some of these cabins have a small meditation room as well. The prices range from $35/night for a very simple, basic cabin to $95/night for a large and luxurious one. There is a charge of $10 to $20/night for each additional person.

We have tent-bungalows, which are small, cozy structures with canvas siding. These can sleep one or two people. Guests in these accommodations utilize nearby bathrooms and a shower house for their toiletry needs, and the dining hall for their meals, as food is not allowed in the bungalows. The price for all bungalows is $40/night; $10 for a second person.

Additionally, there is a women’s lodge, with four individual bedrooms and a shared bath, kitchenette and living room area. The cost per person for a room in the lodge is $40/night.

A men’s dorm also contains four individual rooms with a common living space. This accommodation contains a shower and an outhouse in  close proximity. The cost per person in the men’s dorm is $30/night.

Finally, we have a lovely camping area, forested with old cedar and pine, with several tent platforms (we supply roomy canvas tents for rent) and many spaces for visitors to set up their own tents. The campground contains a shower house with sinks and individual showers, and outhouse (composting) toilets. Tenting is $20/night per space if you bring your own; $25/night per tent (1-4 people permitted) if you rent one of ours.

Advance reservations are highly recommended, especially for our larger cabins, which are very popular and are frequently booked.

WE OFFER A “ONE-WEEK SPECIAL”: BOOK 6 NIGHTS AND RECEIVE THE 7TH NIGHT FREE!

All accommodations are subject to a 10% hotel tax.

No pets, non-prescription drugs, smoking or alcohol are allowed in any of our accommodations or anywhere on the retreat property.
