A brand new air-conditioned year round retreat facility. With it's warm entryway with rocking chairs and quilt hanging welcome sign you immediately sense a "cozy, comfy" feeling. It's center room ceiling is supported by eight massive oak timbers all setting on rustic oak logs around the outside ring and spoked inward like a wagon wheel to the center to sit on a huge maple tree trunk. Three of the eight inner walls are beautiful fieldstone stacked on a base of 12 large boulders, which serve as a good place to sit and visit while enjoying the warmth of the fireplace. Two sleeping rooms, one accommodating seven, and the other five, are very nicely furnished with reading table and chairs making for times of comfortable conversation.
Firewood for campfires is available for purchase on site.
Even here the decor and large windows looking out on the beauty of God's creation make you just want to stay. Around behind the stone walls and down the hall are the beautifully hand stenciled pinecone and pine bow boarders that decorate the bathrooms and shower areas. Granite sinks add a touch of quality but also display the handiwork of God who made the stone so beautiful. Just off the meeting/eating area is a small kitchenette with granite countertops again showing off the craftsmanship of God. Tables and chairs are provided to make this a great place for church board retreats, men or women's retreats, and scrapbooking retreats for just the day, overnight weekday stays, or two-day weekend retreats. The exterior stone walls by the entry will nicely set off this unique retreat facility as you approach from the parking area near by. The Founders Fireside Retreat Center must be reserved in advance and is available on a suggested minimum donation basis. See more detailed information by clicking here.
