We had an amazing stay at the Quiet Mind Retreat. The offering of services there was amazing and the view and serene atmosphere was a welcome experience. The view of the Cuyamaca lake from the lodge was spectacular. The massage experts and energy and yoga specialists were top notch and the cell phone free zones and encouraged quiet time was much needed.
This was a wonderful experience and a cherished memory we would like to repeat.
Sincerely,
Daniel and Andria B.

The properties really interesting. It’s in a beautiful area. The bed was very comfortable. The atmosphere was serene had a beautiful lake view. The breakfast was communist but very good. I love the meditation room. I did a treatment which was very good and then a meditation in the morning which was lovely.
