What to Expect
Guests at The Dwelling have the opportunity to stay alone, as a couple or in small groups.

Your simple, private cottage - called a hermitage - stands quietly in woods or meadows.
Each hermitage has hot water, a half or three-quarter bath, a fully equipped kitchenette, a screened porch, and a wood-burning stove.

Nutritious meals, prepared by the staff, may be eaten either privately in your hermitage or together with others in the main dining room.

You are invited to participate in the meditation, ritual or healing experiences that are a part of the lifestyle and spirituality of The Dwelling in the Woods.

We provide:

- Meals
- Linens and towels
- Tape/CD player in your hermitage
- A good library of books, magazines, tapes and CDs
- An outdoor labyrinth
- Wood-burning sauna
- Walking trails in the Solana State Forest
- Snowshoes

The Dwelling in the Woods is designed to provide a year-round hermitage experience.

We are pleased to have served more than 2,300 guests since 1990. You may enjoy a private retreat or you may choose to share your time here with others.
