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.

We have fished Lake Cuyamaca for many years and wanted a view of the Lake to celebrate our 40th Anniversary. We had a beautiful view and a restful time. Our room was equipped with a bidet, clawfoot jacuzzi tub and a shower with so many settings that it was delightful showering and being spoiled. The staff was amazing and helped make our stay special. Special thanks to Sarah, Uni and Adam for taking such good care of us. We are already planning our next visit.

I booked this place over the concerns of both my sister and wife who were skeptical the place would be a bit too new-agey for their east coast sensibilities - but they both loved it. The view of the mountains and lake from our room and the common area were enough to make it worth staying there. Very short drive to nearby Stonewall Peak which is a great day hike. Not far from the Slot Canyon trail and Three Sisters Falls if you want more hiking. Staff was not just polite and courteous like you expect but warm and friendly, almost felt like family. If you don't care for lodge menu there is a nice pub right on the lake just a few minutes away. Only wish we had the time to stay an extra day.
