I so LOVE Isabella Freedman - the location in northwest CT, the quiet, low-key environment, the beautiful natural surroundings. A group that I volunteer with has our annual retreat there every year, and this year was an exceptionally awesome weekend from a retreat center perspective. They are very helpful in working with the organization's needs, the accommodations vary by ability to pay - from camping to simple rooms, to more elegant rooms, all within a very rustic environment.

What I also appreciate is their new kitchen staff. The food this year was a real treat - accommodating meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. Delicious, thoughtful, tasty, and varied for all sorts of tastes - AND much of it comes from their local farm. Woah.
