★★★★★Tim KirschnerSo many activities offered! We hosted a conference at this place with over 100 people and they were extremely accommodating. Lots of meeting spaces of all sizes. And of course, glow in the dark dodgeball.
★★★★★Tommy CaimiWonderful place for believers to gather and have some fun! We really enjoyed our mens retreat. Only negative would be the pizza. Not a fan.
★★★★★PaulWow, what a great experience! I came here for a men’s retreat with Grace Church. It was a special weekend. The facilities were awesome, great hotels, great conference room, and the food was wonderful! Not to mention the view of the lake, breathtaking! Also we did not have to wear masks as I had originally thought we would. Thank you guys for keeping it real!
★★★★★Leah TapleyI was here for ONE WEEK with Abundant Life's Fusion group. Oh my goodness. It was a blast! Such a nice getaway! The cabins the girls stayed in were nice- I was a group leader and while the girls had bunks I got a full-sized bed. Our two rooms were connected which was perfect for our group. Plenty of room for games and the worship center was awesome for what we needed. The staff are super friendly, and there was ice cream every day after meals (my favorite part, obviously). Definitely a great spot for Church retreats and camps!
★★★★★Johnson KIt was a great place to get away from chaotic cities and chaotic work life. It is located in country side and the locality looks so beautiful and soothing to mind and soul. Great accommodation and services to stay, pray and repeat. Good resources to relax for example pool, sports etc. Decent but healthy food. I loved the experience and great for large groups. Should definitely check it out if you want to get away from city life.
