Mountain Light Retreat Center

Mountain Light Retreat, in Crozet, VA, is a contemplative, calming retreat venue nestled in the serene Virginia countryside. The rural property is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, offering outstanding Blue Ridge Mountain vistas that will remind you of your connection to Mother Earth. On this sacred property, you can relax and unwind from the stresses of everyday life. The property and land were likely first inhabited by members of the Monacan nation before settlers founded schools and churches along the mountain range. In 1890, Anglican clergyman Frederick W. Neve established a mission church to serve the mountain people. In the following decades, a school was also constructed, and both buildings thrived until a fire in 1932. The replacement construction features the original bell from the first Saint John the Baptist chapel. The five-and-a-half-acre resort features a mission house with 6 bedrooms, an old stone cottage with 3 bedrooms, both with cozy fireplaces and charming spaces to relax and just be. An on-site church, where yoga classes, sound baths, and group gatherings are held, also holds a private apartment space. The five and a half acres of land will be your private sanctuary, surrounded by rolling pasture, towering trees, and the glorious Blue Ridge Mountains. You will feel at one with the land. Whether you sit on the porch rockers, walk the trails to the creek's edge, or gaze at the stunning sunsets, Mother Nature will be your healing companion.
