Abbey of the Hills

A peaceful place to visit full of benedictine hospitality, natural beauty, and a stunning church.

I come here twice a year. Just as soon as I leave, I want to return. This place has magic in it's walls. I feel such comfort and love while I am here. The abbey provides a much needed spiritual oasis for harsh times such as these in our world. Also, Sylvia and Eric are extremely polite, professional, and fun! I went sledding with them this past weekend. I can't wait to return in October!!!!

Funny story...had a slight misunderstanding when we tried to stay here last year but the Deacon and staff were very gracious and rectified the situation by offering us a free stay....anyhow my family and myself loved it very much and I couldn't see not paying for our stay to help with the preservation of such a beautiful historical place. Met a couple of the groundskeepers whom were also very nice ...one of them actually went and brought out a paddle boat for my family to use while we were at the lake there. The Hermitage we stayed in was very relaxing with a view of the lower lake right out the window ( we stayed in St Placid ) ...aside from the lake and hiking we also made sure to tour the Abbey which was incredible ( the stained glass in the chapel is amazing ) ...we look forward to visiting again soon. Oh p.s we also met the nice cat that likes to go on hikes with people over by the cattle barn by the upper lake.

A great place to rent out or just go visit
