Lodge and Hermitage Rental

Hermitage Rental

For those who wish to undertake a solitary retreat, the Hermitage provides complete seclusion.  It is situated in an isolated part of the property, perched on a large rock high above a steep-sided valley.  The accommodation is basic: one-room, with no running water or electricity, but with a wood-burning stove for winter heat.   Retreatants can spend their entire retreat in the Hermitage, or may choose to join the community for morning and evening practice in the Meditation Hall.

If you are interested in doing a solo retreat, please contact Kosen for further details: furnacemt@aol.com  or give us a call: (606) 723 4329
