Withdraw From the Busyness of Life on a Quiet Retreat
Just minutes outside Philadelphia, Cranaleith offers a quiet, 10-acre retreat center created for people who need an oasis of serenity. For more than 25 years, individuals and groups have come here to step out of daily busyness and return home clearer, steadier, and renewed.
A very peaceful and quiet experience!
Cranaleith is a very special place to me. I’ve made retreat there many times and it’s always a very peaceful and quiet experience. It renews my soul. And most especially the people who work there are so beautiful and accommodating...

Contact us"What is a retreat?"
Unlike resorts, which are designed to help you escape from life, Cranaleith is focused on helping you engage with life on a deeper level. Our space offers an opportunity for individuals to step away from the busyness of the world, find rest, and reconnect with the Divine, nature, and themselves. Retreats come in various forms—whether group or individual, silent, directed or private—catering to your needs and preferences.
"What different types of retreats do you offer?"
We offer a diverse collection of retreats that cater to the preferences of our cherished visitors:
- Individual and/or Group retreats
- Onsite and/or Online retreats
- Directed and/or Private retreats
- Self-catered and/or catered retreats
- One-day and/or several day retreats
Our expert directors, beautiful grounds, and trademark hospitality all remain the same.
"Are you open to the public?"
Cranaleith is open to the public year-round. However, reservations are required for solitude days, retreats, or programs. Our Gift Shop, located on the second floor of our Education and Conference Building is currently open during programs and by appointment. We ask that you refrain from disturbing the wildlife that calls the property home.
"Can we bring our own directors and leaders of a retreat?"
Absolutely! This can be arranged. Please give us a call at 215-934-6206 to do so.
Not Sure Which Retreat Is Right for You?
You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re happy to help you discern which retreat experience fits your needs, schedule, and season of life.
