Retreat Help & FAQs

We welcome churches and Christian ministries for youth, women’s, men’s, family, leadership, and special-interest retreats, including quilting and scrapbooking. Your group brings its program and people; we provide retreat space, the meals included in your package, and help with planning.

Our lodging is set aside for spiritual retreats.

Use our Let’s Talk inquiry form to share your preferred dates, approximate attendance, retreat plans, and contact information so we can check availability and follow up with you. You can also email or call using the details on our contact page.

Once we send a contract, we hold the dates for two weeks while you return the signed contract and $250 binder deposit. We cannot hold dates informally.

You can book up to one year ahead. Returning groups have the first right of refusal for their weekend, including weekends that are not holidays.
