Wonderwell Mountain Refuge

Set on a west-facing hillside with sweeping views of forest, sky and mountains, the house and grounds provide a calm and peaceful oasis. The graceful building has been beautifully restored and lovingly maintained to serve as a home for the Dharma. Natural beauty embraces the living tradition of Buddhist practice and teaching that resonates here. It is a place for those who wish to connect more deeply with their own innate wisdom and compassion and source themselves for courageous loving action in the world. Wonderwell’s twenty-five acres include lawns and gardens around the main building, with fields and forest below. Our 15,000 square-foot facility can accommodate up to 40 overnight guests – each guest room is unique, and many have private baths. The meditation hall features our Tara shrine, two original fieldstone fireplaces, a suspended balcony, and seating for 100. Simple yet delicious meals are prepared in our commercial kitchen and served buffet-style in the adjoining serving and dining areas. Small sitting nooks around the building provide quiet spaces for reading, meditation, and contemplation.
