Can you give us information about the Retreat Workrooms?

At Willow Ledge Retreat, the Retreat Workroom is a separate building from the Retreat House. There is a covered walkway between the two buildings to keep you warm and dry.  The Retreat Workroom has a garage area to back your car into to unload your supplies.  The Retreat Workroom does not have a bathroom or water, but the retreat house is just steps away. 

​

The Retreat workroom at Hosta Haven Retreat is located on the main floor just off of the kitchen, easily accessible by the front door and the garage, which also has a ramp and unloading area to easily bring in your supplies!

 

What happens if we accidentally pack up an item that belongs to Willow Ledge Retreat or Hosta Haven Retreat?

We do an inventory check before you arrive to make sure the Retreat is fully stocked for you. If we find that something is missing, we will contact the group coordinator about the missing items.  You will be responsible for paying the shipping to have the item returned to us, and if it can’t be located, the renter/coordinator will be billed for the missing items.
