Looking to really getaway?

House 26 is a sunny studio house located in our most remote neighborhood.  This house features many unique elements such as two large patio doors, an adobe earth floor, unique tile work, and mesquite counter-tops.

It is a paradise for the seasoned and serious retreaters with its remote location.

House 23 is located atop a hill overlooking the retreat valley and consists of 2 separate buildings connected by a redwood deck and covered breeze-way which affords some nice outdoor dining experiences.

One building contains a full kitchen, a bedroom with queen bed and an indoor bathroom with shower/bath and composting toilet. The interior walls are soothing colors, and the entire cottage is made with non-toxic materials. The floor is marmoleum, a soft and durable substance made from recycled paper and resin.

The second building consists of a large practice space with pressed adobe floors sealed with environmentally friendly oils and high windows for raking light.

House 22 is a welcoming hilltop cottage made of straw bale, with hand-sculpted niches, earthen floors, and an American clay interior.

The deep window wells are finished rough-sawn Ponderosa pine from a local timber mill. The main room has a Twin bed and some space for movement practices.

A low, curved adobe wall curves separates a small corner of this room that can be used for meditation. The most popular element of this cottage is its outdoor roof-deck for cloud and stargazing.

Settle into a cozy studio with a large screened-in porch and intimate kitchen which is divided by a large folding screen. This cottage stays temperate year-round due to the insulating qualities of straw-bale construction. The one-room construction includes a practice area with tatami mats for meditation.

Located near the top of a hill, this house has views in two directions and features a unique rock garden and stained glass windows. 

This unique straw bale construction has 2 bedrooms on either end separated by a kitchen and a bath. Each room has its own entrance connected by a shaded screen porch with northern views. Both bedrooms have ample space for movement practices and a special meditation area with unique stained glass windows. The large kitchen features a full-size stovetop, plentiful counter space, and a large refrigerator.

Its layout makes it ideal for those who wish to do separate retreats in close proximity to another.

A delightful two-building house located above a shady grove of trees. This is an ideal place to feel supported and close to nature. It is centrally located, but at the end of its own road, with a private picnic area and plenty of hiking trails,

Constructed with ample insulation to keep it cool in the summer and warm in the winter, the main building consists of a studio bedroom and full kitchen and bathroom with shower. Two patios hug opposite sides of the house: one sunroom with beautiful views, and an enclosed porch for relaxing or outdoor dining. A dedicated, spacious, and secluded practice area offers a comfortable space for meditation or movement practices.
