Solitude in the woods

If you do decide to visit the Franciscan sisters in Tiffin, Ohio, you have the option of lodging in a rustic and peaceful cabin in the woods. 

St. Francis used to retire to a hermitage in a remote woods to get away from the demands of leading a community, to pray and reflect.

Nothing but the sounds of crickets and the crackling fire.  Ok, and maybe a raccoon or fox rummaging around outside.  Sister Mouse may join you in the cabin...but her nearest relation met an untimely demise with a trap.  Oh dear.  St. Francis would probably have given her some cheese.
