About us
A Forest Haven Retreat and Relaxation in The Sequoia Forest
Quiet Mind offers a deeply relaxing and restorative getaway in the heart of the Sequoia National Park. The lodge’s history reflects a rich heritage of the elegant period of the 1920s, beautiful cherry wood interiors with wood paneling on the walls and ceilings harkens back to a time of glamor. Today we offer a meeting of the old with the new, providing a place where rustic period beauty meets modern comfort.
Surrounded by incredible natural beauty you can spend your days picking apples from the orchard, sitting by the waterfall under gazebo or simply gazing into the forest through which the river runs by.
We offer seamless traditional and self check in options, delicious healthy food packages for pre order and daily breakfast.
Wellness is our priority at Quiet Mind and our team would be happy to arrange massages which can be enjoyed under gazebo. You may also enjoy private moments of mindful solitude in our peaceful yoga and meditation room. All guests will have access to our online mindfulness course during their stay.
We invite you to escape the world and enter into a haven of peace and renewal

Our Founders
Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge and Retreat was founded by husband and wife, Michael and Davita Gregory as an invitation to experience connect with nature, experience true well being and inner peace. From having retreat centers and small hotels in the US, India and Thailand they took the time to understand experiences and practices that mattered most to their guests and brought them together in perfect harmony at Quiet Mind Mountain. Guided by the principles of Buddhism they created a lodge with sacred design and mindful experiences where you can explore meditation, yoga or simply relax in comfortable rooms and enjoy the spa and being in nature. The choices are completely open to you. They are also the owner of Quiet Mind Retreat San Diego
