“Everyone needs beauty as well as bread; places to play in and pray in; where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.” --John Muir

We welcome you to Dwelling in the Woods, a year round hermitage retreat center set on 120 acres of woods and meadow located 100 miles north of the Twin Cities near McGrath, MN. We offer five hermitages of different sizes, as well as the Octagon, which has a large gathering space and library as well as three small bedrooms for hermits. Maximum accommodations are 18. Each hermitage has hot water, a half or three-quarter bath, a fully equipped kitchenette, a screened porch, and a wood-burning stove.
Simple healthy meals are provided in your hermitage including a loaf of our signature honey wheat bread. There are trails for hiking in the Solana State Forest, a sauna, a labyrinth, gazing pond and lovely gardens for contemplation.
All is designed to allow our hermits to drop into the restorative power of silence and nature.
