We've loved our experience of staying here at the Hermitage. What a cozy sanctuary. We feel at home on this land. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality.

Our group has been coming to The Grail for more than seven summers. It has provided a peaceful refuge where we can wholeheartedly pursue our meditation practice. Those who have been coming to The Grail these last seven years will never forget it. It has become a part of who we are.

The Hermitage

Retreat, Reflect, Enjoy Nature at The Hermitage

The Hermitage is our retreat center for one. With rustic ambiance and cozy surroundings, the Hermitage is an ideal place for spiritual search, looking inward, quiet work, or contemplation of the deeper questions. This structure dedicated to contemplative practice revives an ancient tradition found throughout history across many spiritual paths.

The Hermitage features a hardwood floor and a big picture window overlooking the woods and garden. The high-beamed ceiling keeps the cabin from feeling too small. Amenities include central heating, a sink, stove burner, toaster oven, small refrigerator, simple kitchen layout, and powder room (with toilet). The single bed, wardrobe, vintage desk, and linens offer comfort and simplicity to the weary traveler.

The Hermitage accommodates one individual only. To inquire about our affordable weekend, weekly or monthly rates, e-mail: grailconhphoenix@igc.org for availability and details.
