Couples Room
A place to foster growth in your relationship with Jesus Christ and each other.
There are 2 separate rooms (north and south) located within the fully modern Founders Fireside Retreat Center (FFRC) with access to modern bathrooms, showers and kitchen. These rooms are multi-functional, so have a number of beds in each room, including one queen size bed in each room, to make it comfortable for married couples. These rooms are available for advance bookings Monday – Thursday nights, but only available for weekend bookings on short notice, the week of arrival, if all Prayer Cabins are full and the FFRC is available. Check out time is noon all days except Sundays, when guests may leave later than noon.
Important Note
These two rooms can be booked singly or to two couples who know each other and are working together to book a weekend away. Since the bathrooms, kitchen area, eating and living areas are shared by those staying in these rooms, they will only be booked to a single couple or to two couples coming together. You need not worry about having to share space with another couple you have never met.
Amenities
Bathrooms, showers, fireplace, two large couches, tables, and chairs; heating and air conditioning; kitchen with full-size refrigerator, range, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. Wi-Fi available for $15 if requested ahead of time and paid for at check-in.
Bedding to fit a queen size bed. As a point of health and consideration for all guests, please bring ONLY freshly washed and machine-dried bed linens, blankets, sleeping bags, and cases on pillows.
Also bring food, pots, pans (and anything you will need to prepare and eat your food), slippers for your feet, and some good reading material, including your Bible, and clothing appropriate for the weather conditions.
