About this property

The Hermitage at Spirit Mountain Retreat: 1 bedroom, 1 bath

Welcome to the Hermitage at Spirit Mountain Retreat. The Hermitage at Spirit Mountain Retreat is a two-story apartment with bedroom/study area, living area, and small private deck. It is a lovely environment especially suited for sabbatical and extended times of retreat. The property is a walk to town to all your favorite local shops and restaurants. There is a queen sized bed and a pull out couch, allowing the home to sleep up to 4 guests. Wifi is provided whether you would like to stream your favorite show on Netflix or catch up on those pesky work emails. Home has a small book collection.
The home is a part of the Hermitage, which is a non-profit organization based on donations that hosts retreats and sabbaticals. While different for each visitor, the retreat experience often includes personal reflection, silence and time in nature, spiritual guidance, creative expression, massage, and other healing work. If interested in joining any of the workshops or need spiritual guidance, staff at Spirit Mountain Retreat will be available upon request to assist you on your spiritual journey.

Wonderful place
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I love this cabin. My only complaints are these:It said there was a kettle but there wasn’t one. It would have been nice to be able to heat hot water in an electric kettle or regular kettle to use on the hot plate. The hot plate started smoking when I put a pot of water on it. I’m pretty sure the hot plate needs to be replaced. It said the thermostat was downstairs but it was upstairs. Other than that I loved my stay and will return, as long as there is a working hot plate and a kettle ❤️

Everything you need
A beautiful little space with everything you need for retreat. Comfy bed, nice bathtub, cooking supplies. Opens up to a lovely meditation garden and walking path. Right on the corner of downtown, walkable to all the cute shops and restaurants.

Loved this self-contained "condo"
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a spacious 2-story townhome-style cabin. Living room was spacious and upstairs bedroom and bathroom were roomy too! Upstairs windows were lovely for fresh air and the view. The kitchen was just right - no stove/oven but there is a toaster oven along with the microwave, frig, coffee maker and utensils. Super quiet - there were no other over-nighters but during the day classes/meetings were held outside at the spirit retreat. Very nice folks and I loved the zen outdoor atmosphere. Lots of places to wander around the premises and sit down for a rest or chat. I didn't have to drive to the downtown village - just walk! I'll come back for another visit. Very clean and comfy!!!!!

A writer's retreat
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I needed to get away to work on my book. This was the perfect place to do that! Isolated, yet walking distance to town. I took my dogs with me, so they had a vacation from home too. We brought our food (bring simple food - only heating elements, microwave, and toaster oven - no stove or oven and no bbq grill) so we could just stay in and I could focus on work. Breaks involved taking the dogs on walks. The back area is not fenced in, so be prepared to keep your dogs leashed and tethered (neighbor properties have loose dogs that run along the fence line, and the creek is accessible and dangerous). I had two days of productivity and relaxation. The bed is so comfortable! There is limited hot water, so plan accordingly. But it's a mountain retreat, so why would you expect that?The meditation garden is so lovely.
