I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge Retreat and Spa, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Upon arrival, we were able to upgrade to our room, which added a lovely touch to our stay. The room itself was stunning, featuring a beautiful ambiance that made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the luxurious bathroom, a fantastic shower that offered a rejuvenating experience after a long day. The attention to detail in the room truly enhanced our comfort. There was also a jetted tub in the room. Although the weather was quite cold during our visit, preventing us from enjoying the lovely patio, it was a beautiful space that I can only imagine would be perfect for relaxing in warmer weather. The staff at the lodge were incredibly sweet and attentive, always ready to help and ensure we had a wonderful stay. Their warmth added to the overall welcoming atmosphere of the retreat. My only regret was not being able to book a massage, as my husband and I made our plans last minute. However, this experience has left us eager to return, and we would absolutely make it a priority to indulge in the spa services next time. Overall, the Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge is a true gem, and we can’t wait to plan our next visit!

Good vibes for healing and relaxing. Beautiful views of the lake enhance this laid back sanctuary. Not fancy, but more funky Buddhist. The manager Adam and his staff were welcoming and saw that we had everything we needed. Our room had a lake view and patio and am amazing steam shower! Reiki Master is superb - I had a transformative session with her. The meditation room is beautiful and serene. Overall, it exceeded our expectations.

Room was very nice clean and beautiful! But the free continental breakfast that came with the premium room was just bagels and oatmeal and they said they supplied toiletries but there was only soap and toilet paper idk I just expected a little more for the price, but they were very nice and very clean just bring your own supplies and you gotta pay extra for a breakfast.
