Part of the beauty of planning a retreat or event at our facility is that there isn’t a lot to worry about logistically.
We’ll take of all the details during your stay, including three farm-fresh meals per day, cozy accommodations, meeting spaces, and more so you can focus on your objectives.
Many groups who meet here plan their entire agendas on their own, but we can offer workshop planning support if you need that service.
For team-building activities, you can enjoy our facilities and surrounding forest on your own, or via events that we help plan— including nature walks, fireplace s’mores evenings, guest speakers, and more. We can also work with local partners to bring experiences on-site according to your needs and budget.
Finally, there is a lot to experience locally within a short driving distance, including many outdoor adventures.
