Your Bliss Retreat House
Welcome to the Bliss House
Your Retreat Nexus
For nearly a decade, this mountain retreat space has been the origin point for countless gatherings, holding space for leaders and groups to rest, connect, and awaken.
Tucked deep in the quiet Blue Ridge Highlands, Bliss House offers a sanctuary far from the bustle of modern life. Surrounded by forest, waterfalls, and expansive mountain views, it is both a sacred retreat space and a spiritual home.
With six bedrooms, 16 beds, and versatile indoor–outdoor gathering areas, Bliss House comfortably hosts large groups while still feeling intimate. It is as well-suited for an intimate retreat as it is for a full yoga retreat or meditation retreat, giving leaders the flexibility to design the experience their group needs most. A short walk through the forest connects you to our dining and ceremonial spaces, The Celestial Hall and Celestial Center.
Highlights include:
Welcoming group spaces indoors and outdoors for practice, dining, or ceremony
16 comfortable beds across six bedrooms for lodging
Expansive mountain views of forested land that inspire stillness
