Lost River Retreat Center
A retreat at the Lost River Retreat Center can be customized to meet any group's needs. As a full-service retreat center, we handle the logistics of meals and accommodations so that you can focus on programming and the experience of your retreat.
Our staff prepare up to 3 fresh, hot meals a day, served in our Main Lodge. We can customize meals to meet the needs of your group and make accommodations for allergies and dietary restrictions (i.e., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free.).
Our spaces (indoor and outdoor) provide unending possibilities for your group. Evening sessions by the fireplace in the main lodge or in the open-air chapel, listening to the creek run and warming by the massive stone fireplace are the perfect way to end the day. The flexibility of the ample space in our gathering and meeting rooms provide a backdrop for groups to break-out or to offer rotating sessions or topics.
