★★★★★Spidey823The campus, the rooms, the food, and the people are all excellence. I would recommend this to anyone doing a retreat and am already planning to book again next year!
★★★★★Jana JobeExcellent facilities and experience for our ministry! Our students loved it and all want to make it our Fall Retreat location! The staff were incredibly attentive and accommodating. The food was excellent and plenty of it. Beautiful location, lots to do and great opportunities to disconnect from the world and connect to God! Highly recommend!
★★★★★Beth BowmanWorth the drive! Don't let the gravel road fool you-It's an amazing, well appointed, God ordained facility for groups for any size!
★★★★★Billy FinnieTanglewood is an amazing place! Our 9U youth baseball team came and camped there this past fall with the FCA. The facilities, food, people, activities (land and water), cabins, etc. were all top notch! This is not your typical bunkhouse! Our kids were able to grow through sport and Bible study abundantly during our time there. Tanglewood’s sereneness and beauty alone draws one’s heart closer to the Creator. It is clearly evident that the camp/staff is called by God to serve here! 10 out of 10 recommend! We will be back!
★★★★★Barbara BrownThe staff at Tanglewood served us well! Everything they said they’d do was well done. They were supportive of our mission to teach, share the Gospel, and keep our kids safe. Ryan Reeves and Tanglewood staff worked hard to be sure all the we had planned happened well! In fact, they went above and beyond, anticipating our needs and providing all we asked or needed. I will always be grateful to them for all they did that made our camp experience a huge success.
