Monastery Holidays
There are monasteries, spiritual centers and retreats throughout the country, rent a room. Some require that you place on certain activities or events, or help in their daily work, while others require nothing from you. Some are verycheap, others expensive, and some will just ask for a donation. You need not share their beliefs to stay at these places.
I was in a Zen center in upstate New York a few years ago. For less than $ 20, I had a bed in a normal room. Two meals a day are included, and it was a good library and a Jacuzzi. During the day I walked the paths to collect on the property at the edge of the pond or butternut sit on a hill overlooking a valley. It was very relaxing.
If you are aquiet holiday, these are the places to see. They are generally quiet and pleasant surroundings. When a Catholic monastery full of monks, or a Hindu meditation center, most of these are now Web sites so you can online.
