Thank you for your interest in holding a personal retreat at Sky Lake.  We are delighted to host you and provide you with a peaceful getaway. When registering please put the dates of the nights you are staying in the comments section.
 
Sky Lake’s Personal Retreat program for meditation practitioners is a self-guided scenario. Our typical stay has a two-night minimum at $125 per night ($250). Each additional night for our guests is $75 per night. Each guest is required to sign a liability release form and must comply with our Code of Conduct, simply stating that we expect our guests to be ethical and considerate of others while staying at Sky Lake.

If you would like to stay longer than five nights, please reach out to our rental manager for arrangements.

Your retreat includes:
  • a private room with bath, 
  • access and use of the dining/living room,
  • use of our meditation halls, 
  • use of a guest refrigerator to store the food you bring, 
  • microwave and toaster ovens, traditional toaster and two-burner hot plate (no meal service or use of the commercial kitchen at this time – we will provide a list of food and restaurant sources),
  • tea, coffee and condiments.
  • participants must have their own transportation
  • PLEASE NOTE: No pets allowed.
A shared room option is also available for couples at a rate of $175 per night per room for 2 nights ($350), plus $100 each additional night after that.
Check-in time is 4pm, and check-out time is 11am (reach out for possible exceptions if needed). Please request a booking at least two weeks in advance.
Here are some helpful suggestions for a pleasant retreat:
There are different ways to approach a meditation retreat, and depending on one’s commitment to practice, there are various guidelines to help a retreat practitioner get the most out of their retreat. The most successful retreats follow a strict schedule, and that at least 3 daily sessions of at least 2-hour long meditation sessions will yield potent results. Some retreat masters advise that 4 sessions is even better.
We have a library that contains comprehensive texts on Buddhism, meditation, Taoism, and spirituality. Please feel free to browse our collection and study to your heart’s content.
In addition to meditation and study, Sky Lake is nestled in stunning forest, with hiking trails entering the world-class Mohonk Preserve. This is another excellent way to maximize your retreat quality, by taking time to enjoy the wilderness that surrounds our retreat center.
Sunday Sitting happens every week from 10-12. Retreatants are welcome to join the group sitting, but certainly are not obliged. We have two meditation halls, so while one may be occupied, another is available for practice.
We recommend planning your meals ahead of time, and have easy-to-prepare or pre-prepared meals for your retreat.
