Retreats

Your Hudson Valley hub for transformative experiences.

What if a retreat didn’t offer escape, but return? To nature. To curiosity. To community.

A retreat destination that offers more than just beautiful scenery, the Commons is your Hudson Valley hub for nonprofit and corporate retreats with purpose. We provide lodging, food, and an educational component aligned with our mission to foster growth through community, learning, and nature.

Campus Features

Scattered across 100 pastoral acres, our campus is home to five charming residences, with 49 guest rooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, and a constellation of gathering spaces. There’s a restaurant for shared meals, a mix of formal and impromptu meeting rooms, and a 180-seat theater where ideas, films, and performances come to life. Just beyond your doorstep: meadows, forests, and historic trails, all within wandering distance.
