At the Retreat House, we’ve grown fond of calling our place for personal retreats the Hermitage, which means secluded retreat. Hermitage overnights have become a well-loved experience for those times when nourishing, restful time away from our complex lives is what most grounds and restores us. 

During a personal retreat, we welcome you into the peace and restoration made possible by solitude and nature. We leave it to you to structure your own time and select for yourself how best to be present with the Sacred. You can take time to be alone and read, journal, sit in silence, walk in the peaceful neighborhood, enjoy paddling in the river, be creative, or do whatever calls to you.

We hope you enjoy your overnight stay at our hermitage situated on the Sassafras River in Galena, Maryland. The gracious and caring hospitality of the place, the beautiful, restful setting, and the comfort of the spaces will surely offer respite for time away to savor stillness and free-flowing rest. Enjoy a private cottage experience with all linens provided and a full kitchen for your use. Guests can enjoy biking, access to the water,  and unlimited enjoyment of the meditative, wooded grounds.

Our daily rate is $110 with a two night minimum encouraged. To learn more about overnights, explore our welcome letter (here).
