Customer Reviews
2 week stay feedback
I have followed Barbara O'Neil for some time and have attended a number of her talks. She is a trail blazer in a modern world of pharmaceutical control.
My only concern which I noticed a number of times was the pedestal, site staff have put her on. The lodges self-service doctor area appears to be a shrine with her photo above all the items. I have always seen Barbara as a humble God-fearing woman, and she may not be aware of how this area in the lodge comes across to guests.
I believe that as the health message is passed onto guests, we should be focusing more on the biblical/spiritual reasons instead of the reason of Barbara (with utmost respect to Barabra).
As there is a lot of attention on Barbara and Misty Mountain, I also believe that staff need to be careful not to give any reason for negative media comments or government departments investigating Barbara O'Neil and her work. All guests are there for a reason and if not already, it will only be a matter of time before a guest with ulterior motives attends to try and paint a bad light on all the good work you guys have done.
In closing, keep up the spectacular work that is really needed at this time.
Amazing place
The best place to be for your wellbeing and health!
My eight-day stay at Misty Mountain Lifestyle Retreat was an amazing experience! Set in beautiful natural surroundings, it was the perfect place to slow down, recharge and focus on my wellbeing.
The program was excellent. I did a detox that included two days of juices and teas, and the vegan food was absolutely delicious. The fresh creek water was another highlight—it tasted wonderful.
The steam baths and cold plunges in the creek helped ease my sore shoulder. The massages were wonderfully relaxing, and the calming facial and beauty treatments made the experience even more special.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly kind, caring and helpful. They made me feel welcome and supported throughout my stay.
I left feeling refreshed, relaxed and so grateful for the experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend Misty Mountain to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. A beautiful place with beautiful people!
A life changing experience
The meals were delicious and I learnt that light meals at the end of the day are certainly nutritious, delicious and achievable.
All that I have learnt and the things that have been reinforced will go with me for the rest of my life.
My family were very supportive and excited that I attended the retreat and have been absorbing the information I'm passing on them - which has been such a blessing.
The retreat certainly challenges you, but the outcomes are so worth every bit. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable and only every want the very best for us as individuals.
