Join us in the natural beauty and quiet of this mountain sanctuary for a very special Mother’s Day weekend.  Shrine Mont is a step back to a slower-paced time, with clapboard houses, vast hiking trails, and homestyle southern cuisine.  (Chefs can accommodate vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free diets).
