★★★★★Brad FritzExcellent Christian retreat! Valley Haven allows you to escape to an incredible environment with plenty of activities for all ages and amenities for 70+ people. The owners are true people of God with hearts for all people but especially under-priveledged youth.
★★★★★Marsha BeaversValley Haven has consistently been a wonderfully accommodating venue for our Ladies Retreats for the last five years. The grounds are gorgeous, offering activities from swimming to volleyball, fire pit areas, outdoor chapel, a soccer field, a gymnasium, and lots of walking trails to explore all while feeling safe and secure while on this gated property. I would highly recommend it to any group.❤️
★★★★★Christine FenskeSuch an amazing place focused on Jesus. The staff is incredible and we loved serving alongside them. If you volunteer, you will be treated like family. They do such a great camp for local kids during the summer. If you are looking for a place for a Christian retreat, be sure to check them out!! 😊
