Find Your Fit

Which lodging is right for your group?

Most groups have one or two questions in mind when picking lodging, including bathroom setup, bed type, and how the cabins are arranged. Here is the short version.

Private Bathrooms, Linens Provided

Best For: Women’s retreats, marriage retreats, leadership teams, family camp

Recommendation: We have 4 log cabins along the creek that have become popular since being built in 2009. Each sleeps 16 in bunks with showers and bathroom facilities. There is adequate space for cabin group time. Each features a large porch overlooking the creek. Shiloh cabin is wheelchair accessible.

Bunk-Style Cabins with In-Cabin Bathrooms

Best For: Youth retreats, men’s retreats, full-church weekends, cabin-counselor models

Lodge-Style with a Lounge

Best For: Smaller groups (≤16), leadership teams, staff retreats

Recommendation: Spruce Lodge has 4 bedrooms with a mix of double and bunk beds, plus a main-floor lounge with a wood-burning fireplace. Bathrooms are shared on the lower level.

A Private Cabin for Your Speaker or Pastor

Best For: Retreat speakers, group leaders, visiting pastors

Lodging FAQs

A few of the questions we hear most often from retreat planners and parents thinking through where their group will sleep.

Which lodging is wheelchair accessible?

Beechwood Lodge is fully handicap accessible in all 10 rooms, the common areas, and the route to the dining hall. Shiloh (one of the four Log Cabins) is also wheelchair accessible. If you have specific accessibility needs for your group, let us know during the inquiry process and we will plan the right setup.

Do you provide bedding and towels?

Linens (sheets, pillows, and towels) are provided only in Beechwood Lodge. For every other lodging, guests must bring their own bedding and towels. We’ll remind you of this in your pre-arrival materials.

Can our group be split across multiple buildings?

Yes. Many groups use a combination of lodging types based on group makeup. Common arrangements include youth in Log Cabins or Goshen/Jaffa, adult leaders in Beechwood, and a speaker in Berea. We’ll recommend the right combination once we know your group size and configuration.

Are any of the cabins air conditioned?

Beechwood Lodge has air conditioning. All other buildings rely on natural ventilation and fans in warmer months. Most summer groups find this works well given the property’s tree cover and creekside breezes.

Is there free lodging available for pastors?

Yes. When Berea Cabin is not booked for a retreat or summer camp, we offer it free of charge to pastors and full-time ministry staff for a personal retreat. Reach out to our office to check availability and reserve a stay.

Are Walnut and Maple available year-round?

No. Walnut and Maple are seasonal cabins, only available during warmer months. If you’re planning a winter or early-spring retreat, we’ll recommend year-round lodging options like the Log Cabins, Beechwood, Spruce, or Goshen/Jaffa.
