Visiting for the first time
Mountain views always take my breath away. When my husband David and I visited the Retreat the first time in June 2021, the view from the screen porch of the stone cottage lifted us to a place of deep peace. We felt certain that others, also, would feel the serenity here.
We appreciated how the artisans had created unique stone buildings, and that the tower held a church bell original to the property. The church ceiling, with the traditional wooden beams of an ark, lent us the strength and commitment to offer this place for spiritual renewal through contemplation and silence. We were quite attracted to the place, and truly felt called to be caretakers.
