Food, clothing, personal items for your stay

Guests bring their own food for their overnight stays.  Each hermitage has a  kitchenette with small refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave oven, toaster, utensils, and dinnerware.  Bring light prepared foods and snacks to eat room temperature or to warm in the microwave oven. No foods with strong odors please.  Grocery stores and restaurants are also nearby.

Bring comfortable clothing for indoors and outdoors. Sturdy shoes are recommended as our drive and paths are gravel.  Also bring personal items that you require for your stay. A Dollar General and Sav-a-Lot are about 1/2 miles away.

Access to hermitages

Vision of Peace is located on a high bluff above the Mississippi river in a rustic, heavily wooded area. Much of the property is hilly with access to the hermitages on gravel paths and steps. There is no vehicle transport around the property.  Access from the parking area to the hermitages is by foot. This means carrying your luggage and other items.  It’s best to leave roller bags and coolers at home or in your vehicle.  Pack light! Bring less!

Vision of Peace hermitages is the first driveway on your right. Our gravel driveway has a couple big hills and turns. It is a half a mile from Abbey Lane to our parking area.
