We love it here HOWEVER it’s NOT OPEN NOW! Check their website before you go to see if it’s open. Today we went for a hike at the grounds and on the hiking path. Disappointed we couldn’t go in.

Beautiful and peaceful. Has a walking trail. And a prayer walk to the church (the abbey ). Visit their store. It's very cozy and nice

A great friendly place to relax, hike, talk, and eat. They have a really nice giftshop, the things inside of it are made by the monks. It was also educational and had a great museum.
