Spring on the Retreat

Spring has sprung and will your senses as you behold the flowers and greeneries! This is what I like to call the in-between season where you can enjoy your sweaters and fire pits at night and the not so cold plunges into the river during the days. There are many areas to explore that will keep you busy. This time of year there is a thick foggy mist that engulfs this river bend in the mornings , that slowly rise with the morning sun.

Fall at the retreat

Winter on the Retreat

1 or 2 weeks out of the year we will get snowed in.This is the most magical place to be when that happens. When there isn't snow, the hillsides reveal rock cliffs up to 180' tall and a crystal clear river where the fish can be seen year round. We have many fire pits spread out around the property and even have a fireplace in the chapel/gymnasium.This 70 acre retreat can be exclusively yours.

Fall on the Retreat

Fall is the best time of year to bring your wedding! From September to the end of October we host the Nashville Fall Festival in the fields and common grounds of the retreat center. Monday-friday you can explore the 7 acre sunflower field and find your way out of the 10 acre corn maze. The festival hours pick up from Friday after noon until Sunday. Imagine having your own fall festival while you stay at our private guest quarters.
