Lodging

Woodcrest Retreat offers a perfect location for your church, small group, youth group, or family to host an affordable weekend retreat in a peaceful outdoor setting. Year-round lodging is available for small groups of 2-30 (with summer lodging for an additional 80 in our bunkhouses). Four bunk-style housing facilities each between 5-12 guests (see descriptions below). A modern shower house is within a short walking distance of facilities that do not provide restrooms.

Groups using two or more lodging facilities need to add a central meeting room (special pricing available). The Conestoga Room or Mountain View are ideal for retreat groups to use for meeting space and meal preparation.

Guests need to provide their own linens, towels, food, cookware, and place settings. Guests may prepare meals using the provided kitchen facilities or schedule a caterer of their choice.

A picnic table and fire ring are provided at each lodging facility.
