Arcadia Academy is one of those places that provides respite and joy for those of us who love truly good people and authentic historic architecture. The homemade burger and fries in Thee Abbey were the best. I stayed in the Laundry Building and woke to a glorious mountain view. The adjacent loft-like Community Room allowed for me to keep food in the fridge and make my coffee just how I like it before breakfast. Breakfast across the lawn at Thee Abbey was delicious homemade gourmet French toast with eggs and bacon. The tour of the Academy was enlightening and fun, ending at the grotto and opportunity to sit in the tree swing and just soak up the atmosphere. The historic buildings and beautiful church are worth taking time to visit, as they are lovingly preserved with a light touch by the family that owns and operates the place. I can’t recommend Arcadia Academy for people with highly demanding tastes or expectations, but for those folks who appreciate the beauty of age and patina, this place is a rare gem that I couldn’t recommend more highly. I absolutely Loved it!

We were in town for a wedding and had a great time in the bungalows,and it was so convenient that is was so close to the wedding. Had plenty of bungalows for the entire wedding party and its walking distance to the Abby. Enjoyed the porch swings around the bonfire.

I joined my friends here for a writing retreat! We each stayed in our own bungalows and enjoyed the property, the hospitality, and the surroundings. It was a great getaway, and fueled our creativity. Everyone we encountered was kind, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place!
