I would recommend that EVERYONE visit Heritage, even if you are not Catholic, you can book a stay at the retreat and enjoy the beauty of the grounds. Everyone was so nice and helpful, I really can't wait to go back!

The ambience of natural beauty and the well-maintained facilities makes this a wonderful place to disconnect and pray serenely. They went above and beyond in accommodating my special diet, and the food was excellent. I can't recommend them highly enough.

We had a fabulous weekend retreat. The grounds are beautiful and tranquil, the cottages are warm and inviting, the food is delicious and amazing, everything is just perfect! Thank you for taking such great care of every detail. We are already excited about going back!
