I went with a group of seven, arranged by my yoga teacher. He'd been there several times and wanted to share the bliss! It's a magical place in a gorgeous setting with the kindest hosts you could imagine. Donna and Kent pull out all the stops when it comes to making their guests feel at home. Donna is an amazing...

I'd visited Sewall House several times as a guest but recently used the space to house a group retreat for my small group of 6 guests traveling together. As always, the environment was conducive to a relaxed and introspective experience. The food was phenomenal! And the yoga instruction was inspired and uplifting. As a group leader I found it exceptionally... More

Donna and Kent are amazing hosts, I felt as if I was visiting family. Sewall house is such a wonderful and historic house and there's something interesting everywhere you turn. The entire house has a fantastic feeling. The food was outstanding and the yoga was outstanding! Kent's massage was wonderful, he's very intuitive. I only wish I could have stayed... More

I’m back from my second fabulous stay at Sewall House. I can’t wait to back! I’ve only got positive things to say – Donna and Kent (and all of the folks who happen to be in the neighborhood who help out) are ideal hosts. They are there for anything and everything you might need, and they allow for a quiet... More

I just got back from my second visit to the Sewall House, both experiences have been truly amazing! I felt like I was at home the moment I walked in the door, the atmosphere at the Sewall House is warm and inviting. I needed time to recharge and the combination of yoga, massage, hiking, lake visits, wholesome food, porch sitting,... More

I have been to Sewall House twice and I hope to make it at least an annual trip in the future. There is nothing like it. The two yoga classes are two different styles of yoga, so things never get boring and there is something to learn for everyone. Donna truly is, as others have mentioned, gifted at personalized teaching... More

and that is saying something, because I just turned 60 late August at Sewall House. It was here, even while away from home, I could be among like-minded people who value wellness and good cheer, all this presented in a loving, caring, and historic environment... and in a non-pretentious, understated way. Though completely modernized in it's infrastructure, the handsome house... More

We thank you for this bright and wonderful review! There are FOUR bathrooms in the house for 7 guest bedrooms- there is a bathroom IN the bedroom on the first floor so those wanting a private bathroom can request this one if it is available! That makes SIX bedrooms sharing THREE (one on each of the three floors!) bathrooms simply... More

As an avid yoga practitioner for the past 5 years and a certified yoga instructor, I was picky about choosing a yoga retreat. My experience at the Sewall House was a pleasant surprise, even though I've done a bit of research and asking around ahead of time. Donna and Kent give so much of their love and creativity in nurturing... More
