Personal Sabbath Retreats
Personal Sabbath Retreats provide a respite from the busy world and allow time for spiritual reflection and rest. Your time here is unstructured so you may plan your days just as you like. Leave your cell phone in the car and you are completely secluded from the outside world. Very few rooms have televisions or telephones so you really can “getaway.” This is a time for YOU to rejuvenate. Relax on our porch overlooking Lake Susan and the panoramic mountainous scenery surrounding the valley. Meet our resident swan as you sit by the lake. Or sit back and read a good book in a comfy oversized chair near the fireplace.
We provide you with a comfortable room and excellent service – you decide how to arrange your personal time. We can offer suggestions of things to fill your itinerary or you can plan each moment as it comes.
If you are interested, we can recommend popular sites in Montreat and the surrounding area such as a prayer path that includes a labyrinth, the Chapel of the Prodigal containing a rare fresco by Ben Long, and various hiking trails appropriate for beginners through experienced hikers.
Shop at the Moore Center for special treasures to take home, visit nearby parks and lakes, take a scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, reserve a tee time or plan an afternoon getaway in Asheville. Our front desk staff will be glad to answer any questions as you plan your stay.
