Reserve Everything
Retreat Space for Rent in Blue Ridge, NC
A retreat space is more than only buildings and land — it is the container that holds your group’s journey.
Reserving the entire retreat makes the land and all the event spaces yours for the duration of your stay. From the first morning meditation to the final closing circle, the land, houses, and sacred spaces are held solely for your gathering.
Since opening in 2016, Wheel of Bliss has welcomed spiritual leaders, wellness guides, and retreat facilitators from around the world. Again and again, they return not only for the beauty of the Blue Ridge Highlands, but for the rare chance to work in a space where the whole mountain sanctuary is theirs alone.
Hidden deep within Pisgah National Forest, Wheel of Bliss offers the perfect setting for exclusive spiritual retreats, intimate gatherings, and transformative private events. The Bliss House, Celestial Hall, the Celestial Center (yurt), and miles of trails all become yours — ready to support the vision you carry for your group.
Sacred Work Meets Supportive Spaces
When you reserve the full property, you unlock support not only in spirit but also in logistics. Across all of our spaces, you gain access to both the sacred atmosphere that nurtures transformation and the practical amenities that makes retreat work flow. All the while, the Bliss House, Celestial Hall, and Celestial Center provide a sanctuary designed to host large groups while still feeling intimate.
The Bliss House includes 16 beds across 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and a full kitchen. Indoors, the altar room holds space for ceremony and practice. Outdoors, the broad deck immerses your group sessions in mountain views, forest, fresh air, and sky.
The Celestial Hall & Celestial Center offer 3 additional bathrooms, 3 shower stalls, group dining, and another full kitchen. The Celestial Center (yurt) can host 20+ participants for ceremony, meditation, or group work.
Altogether, the retreat can accommodate dozens of participants with flexible use of indoor and outdoor gathering areas. Surrounded by Pisgah National Forest, the land opens into hiking trails, crystal-clear streams, rushing waterfalls, and hidden places for reflection — making it one of the region’s most unique private event venues.

Who We Serve
A Sacred Space for Religious and Spiritual Retreats
Originally founded to foster interfaith fellowship, Wheel of Bliss has grown into a sanctuary where all are welcomed to explore spirituality and deepen together. Since 2016, it has been a gathering place for religious and spiritual leaders of many traditions, holding retreats, circles, and spiritual events. Surrounded by ancient mountains and supported by versatile facilities, the land offers a sacred container for ceremony, spiritual retreats, and other forms of transformative practice.
Rejuvenating Wellness Workshops
The mountains themselves offer a stillness that supports healing. Set deep in the heart of Blue Ridge, Wheel of Bliss becomes a sanctuary where wellness workshops and gatherings can unfold in safety and presence. As leaders guide, the land itself weaves in its own medicine: stillness, beauty, and presence. Together, these create the conditions where transformation naturally arises.

Every ceremony calls for an environment that honors its depth. Wheel Of Bliss provides a secluded event space that blends in with nature to form such a sanctuary. Leaders and communities are held in a field of reverence, where each gesture carries meaning. The tranquil ambiance and life-giving energy of the land allow your ceremony to unfold as both intimate and timeless.
Relaxing Corporate Retreats
Every team needs periods of rest to restore harmony. The natural backdrop of Wheel Of Bliss provides space where you and your team can regain focus, recharge, and reconnect with one another. In this environment, goals become clear and teams bond to tackle the challenges ahead when they return to work. Leaders leave reinvigorated and renewed in vision.
What Our Guests Say About Wheel of Bliss
A lovely, secluded part of the world. Very comfortable accommodations. Communication with the host was incredibly smooth, prompt and courteous. Definitely recommend for large groups wanting to retreat and unplug.

Beautiful property that had absolutely everything we needed for our retreat! Rob is the best property manager and made our stay absolutely perfect!

A paradise perfect for mindful retreats! Peaceful trails, waterfalls, clear starry skies, and comfortable beds.
Liz
We planned a team bonding time with a group, and the place truly met our expectation. We had the best time ever and looking forward to using Colin’s place again. Great host and awesome caretaker “Rob”
Priscilla
We just spent a weekend at this beautiful retreat center. It is the perfect location to disconnect from all the distractions of the world and enjoy the solitude. Colin was very communicative and orderly. Everything was prompt and response time was impressive. Rob, the grounds keeper, was fantastic. Very nice and personable, made contact once and we only heard from him if we reached out, but there really was no need as they had everything setup from the beginning. Highly, highly recommend this location if you need room for a large group, and want to disconnect and focus on each other.
Aron
My wife and I gathered my family here for Thanksgiving, and to renew our wedding vows. This location was perfect for our needs. It is in a beautiful, secluded area, about 30 minutes from the nearest town. There is a caretaker on site that was able to help us when we had more specific questions about the house and the local area. The host was also reachable via the app for the duration of the stay. We had a wonderful time, and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get away from it all.
David
My husband and I had our (small and intimate, family only) wedding ceremony here and it was BEAUTIFUL! We absolutely LOVED this listing, everything about it! From the location of the house, to the landscape and the cleanliness of the house and friendliness of the host, our entire group fell in love with this home and trip.
Alesa
This place is a sacred space beyond our expectations. If you are truly needing a getaway from the busy world and needing to reconnect with yourself or your family, this is it. The communication and quick responses made this easy on us while planning an impromptu wedding ceremony with our close family and friends.
Lauren
Spectacular property! The house had absolutely everything we needed for our yoga retreat. Rob was completely wonderful checking us in and making sure we had everything we need.
Shannon Dievendorf
rebelsoulyogastudio.comThe “Wheel of Bliss” Retreat Center is a magical portal for deep healing and transformation. As a long time retreat leader, I believe this center to be a jewel. From the beauty of the earth, to the incredible hiking trails and pristine swimming holes and rocks to sunbathe on, the spaces to do yoga and meditation are exquisite. The fire pits are energized, and the living quarters are beyond comfortable. Yes, the mattresses were a big hit, and many women reported sleeping really well. The staff and caretakers are loving and kind, and easy to connect with. Our group of women had a collective journey of healing and joy thanks to all of the love, intention, and practice that goes into making this center a container for goodness on planet earth.
Luna Ray
kristinlunaray.comWheel of Bliss is an amazing center to host an aware group of people! Catering to meditation and inner work this center has one of the most beautiful pieces of land backed up to national Forrest with streams, rivers, swimming holes, and nature galore. The house offers one of the most beautiful meditation rooms you have ever seen with a huge alter that really supported the work we did there. The yurt was supportive in our larger group size allowing our practice to come together in a peaceful space. The caretaker is kind and helpful with anything needed. I highly recommend working from this magical center with your sacred groups!

Shelby Davis
“Absolute perfection! Truly there is no way I can say enough wonderful things about the Wheel of Bliss retreat. From sacred, gorgeous temperate rainforests, streams, and mountains with incredibly fun and well kept trails to the remarkably comfortable and well appointed home with stunning views from every window and decks galore to experience the beautiful parts of the day and the gorgeous stars at night to the yurt for yoga, meditation, dance, or prayer, I could not recommend a stay here more. I stayed three weeks and can’t wait to return.”
Gwen Johnson
“We could not be more happy with our Wheel of Bliss experience! Colin and the rest of the team made the booking process so simple, and the property itself is absolutely gorgeous. The land spirits are incredibly welcoming and the atmosphere is truly blissful just as the name suggests. We also rented the Celestial Hall and Celestial Center with our group and were pleasantly surprised how modern and well-thought out the architecture was. We were so glad to be able to support another spiritual non-profit, and have got so much inspiration for our own organization throughout our stay. We can’t wait to book our next retreat!”
Lauren, Fellowship of Northern Traditions
northerntraditions.org“The Wheel of Bliss Retreat Center is a magical place! The property itself is full of gifts and beauty, and to be able to wake up in the morning and walk through the woods to do yoga in a gorgeous yurt is such a treat! Not only is the property incredible but the staff goes above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. This is a space where lives will change. Highly recommend!”
Kelsey Harrison
getwildretreats.com“Wheel of Bliss is my favorite Retreat center. I hold multiple Women’s Circle Retreats there each year. Everyone always talks about how magical the space is. The land is incredibly beautiful in all seasons. The way we are nestled in the mountains feels as though we are stepping out of the world and into a true retreat. I love being able to be the only people on the land. The main house itself feels like home. It is incredibly comfortable, well equipped, and creates a safe sacred space for connection in community. Where else can you have a creek, private swimming hole, sweet little waterfalls, trails, beautiful space complete with an altar room, incredibly comfortable lush beds, people who really care about honoring this land & center, and be completely secluded? It is perfection!”
Jessica Ricchetti
jessicaricchetti.com“I cannot describe this place as anything less than magical. Three friends and I took a girls trip here in order to unwind and get closer to our spiritual self and eachother. We started our mornings with yoga on the porch, and ended them stargazing (we even saw a shooting star the first night!), with lots of hiking, meditation, and building fires throughout. The property is absolutely stunning and the details in the house were unending. We all kept referring to it as home without even meaning to. Colin responded within minutes every time and Rob was there for anything we needed while on property. This was the best trip of my life and I can’t recommend it enough! Can’t wait to come back.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you tell me if a particular set of dates are available before I reserve?
Yes. To check availability, simply visit “Contact Us” and share your preferred dates with us. A member of the Wheel of Bliss team will reach out directly to confirm whether those dates are open.
Please note: on occasion, additional dates may be available even if they are not listed publicly, so reaching out to us first is always the best way to coordinate.
How do I book?
To begin the reservation process, fill in your information here. As mentioned in the page above, we offer full-property venue rental, giving leaders exclusive access to all facilities. This same process applies if you’re reserving the sanctuary for private events or an intimate event such as a ceremony or circle. A member of the Wheel Of Bliss team will reach out to you with more information and next steps to help you plan.
Do I have to book all 3 facilities?
No, you are not required to reserve all three. However, if privacy and complete seclusion are important to your gathering, we recommend it. Groups who choose not to book all facilities agree to allow another group to reserve the remaining facilities during the same dates or pay a holding fee (“mothball fee”) so that no other groups are on property at that time.
What kinds of retreats and events does Wheel of Bliss host?
Wheel of Bliss welcomes a wide spectrum of gatherings — from ceremonies and spiritual retreats to workshops and private events — so long as they are in harmony with our mission and vision. For those seeking unique private event venues in the Blue Ridge Mountains, our sanctuary offers both seclusion and a sacred atmosphere that supports renewal. Leaders also turn to Wheel of Bliss for hosting an intimate event, where the land and facilities hold every moment with reverence.
How does Wheel of Bliss accommodate attendees who have dietary requirements when hosting events?
Over the years, we’ve built relationships with a network of culinary experts who are experienced in creating meals that honor many dietary paths. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are available, and we are happy to refer you to our rolodex of chefs who can help you design a menu that supports the well-being of all participants.
