The Stone House
Make room for your own retreat
A remodeled lakeside house makes The Stone House a different sort of retreat: rather than joining a scheduled meditation program, guests shape their own stay around quiet, reflection, and time together. Set on the shores of Pelican Lake in Pequot Lakes, the rental has five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with high-end amenities and a blend of comfort and luxury. It can suit a solo visitor wanting room to slow down as readily as a small group planning a private getaway. There is no stated meditation tradition or guided timetable, so bring a practice of your own or let the lake setting set an unhurried pace. Think of it as a private home base for a self-directed retreat, not a staffed retreat center. Check the booking page for current rates, house details, and arrangements before you plan your stay.

Setting
The house sits along the shores of Pelican Lake in Pequot Lakes. Its lakeside setting gives a self-directed stay a natural focal point for quiet time and reflection, without a formal retreat schedule.
A typical day
There is no set retreat timetable described, so guests can shape the day around their own practice and plans. A quiet morning, time for reflection, and an unhurried evening are possibilities, but the rhythm is yours to decide rather than part of a hosted program.
