Hermitage
The Hermitage Cabin is a unique retreat participant space for our retreats, providing a more secluded experience in a beautiful cabin. By choosing this option and paying at a higher rate you are supporting Vallecitos to continue to care for the land and make retreat practice more accessible for all.
The Hermitage cabin is a premier accommodation providing a private and spacious wilderness experience. A secluded cabin with its own outhouse and south facing deck for beautiful sun exposure and views, the cabin features a queen size bed, night stand, desk, chair, plus a counter and sink (without running water). We provide hermitage guests with hot water to keep at the cabin. The hermitage is a stand-alone structure heated by propane. The hermitage is single occupancy.
Accommodation Logistics
Bedding: Bedding is not provided in retreat housing. Guests bring their own warm bedding/sleeping bag or may rent a Comfort Pack which includes sleeping bag, fitted sheet, flat sheet, pillow case, towel and wash cloth.
Bathrooms: There are outhouses located throughout the Vallecitos property and there is also a bathhouse with flush toilets and hot showers close to the lodge. Accommodations do not have water. Please see the map below, which shows the locations of outhouses and the bathhouse.
Electricity: Vallecitos is “off the grid” and uses only solar power. Each accommodation has a small solar powered or battery operated lamp. There are no electrical outlets for personal appliances or electronic devices in the accommodations. While we encourage guests to use as little power as necessary and to leave electronic devices at home, the bathhouse does have one electrical outlet that can be used on a very limited basis. It is a good idea to bring an adequate flashlight and other battery powered lighting for your accommodation (a reading light, for example).
