Welcome All

Nestled within hidden inlets of the Long Island Sound in Darien, Connecticut, our guest house is located on a tranquil 10-acre property overlooking the water, offering a peaceful and spiritual environment for retreats or getaways, with woodland walks, gardens, stone hermitage, and a private dock with an adjacent bathhouse. Our Guest House is open all year round with various spaces for individuals and groups and meals for the day and overnight guests.

​

Our Mission

 

Unity is our mission. Namely, the re-establishment of unity of all Christians in accord with the ecumenical principles of the Vatican Counsel’s very own reaction to the sorrowful prayer of Jesus: 

 

"Father, that all may be one. Hasten O Lord, the union of Christians: hear the prayers of your humble Bridgettine which are consecrated to you for these intentions."

 

Retreats

​

Our Guest House offers the perfect setting to hold your group or private retreats.

​

The Sisters welcome members of all faiths who desire a place of rest for inner renewal. Singles, couples, families and groups. 

​

Getaways

​

Our Vikingsborg Guest House is a popular setting for artists and academics, as well as those who just want to get away for a while.

​

Comfortable single and double rooms with private baths are available, most with breathtaking views of the Long Island Sound.
