Attention Retreaters: The following changes have been made to arrival and departure times, in an effort to be consistent to all groups. Set arrival times have been changed to 12:00 P.M. on Mon. - Sat., 4:00 P.M. on Sunday. Set departure times have been changed to 10:00 A.M. on Mon. - Sat., 2:00 P.M. on Sunday. We hope that this will eliminate our cleaning/scheduling problems and keep everyone informed during our "back-to-back" busy season. Groups may check to see if anyone preceeds or follows their retreat stay to arrange for earlier arrivals or later departures.
