Due to rapidly rising COVID 19 rates, and in keeping with state restrictions The Hermitage will close on Nov. 18 for three weeks. We will also consider allowing up to two or three guests for completely solo retreat where they will be responsible for their own meals. Contact us if interested. Guests are still welcome to come walk the trails.
The Hermitage exists to provide a way and a place of prayer. We would be delighted to host your individual or group retreat. It is the presence and prayers of guests that sustains our work.
Below are links to information and pictures about our rooms available for your retreat time:
