Retreat Setting

Beautiful surroundings in a large retreat center. Hotel rooms don't necessarily resemble the ones in the photos. We asked to be moved and they were able to accommodate us, but don't expect views of the lake from your balcony. Great hiking trails (although it is nearly impossible to find a trail head!). Really good full breakfast.
