The most wonderful retreat!

This was our 2nd year at Laurel Creek, and it always exceeds our expectations on cleanliness, a stocked kitchen, and comfortability with the common areas and sleeping rooms. Lois and Dwayne are so wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend this for large group retreats!

Many Thanks

The property had everything we needed and the family had a fantastic Thanksgiving event. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We have had this gathering at different places over the years and many said this was the best facility we've had. Thanks!

Beautiful Atmosphere!!

We had such a delightful time at the lodge, doing a year end appreciation supper for our employees. The set up is so perfect! Everything you need is there already. Such a clean and well kept place. Totally enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely wonderful!

Our group of Covenant Marriage Standers spend the whole weekend here and this place is everything we need. It’s clean, it’s peaceful, it’s welcoming, it truly is a haven of peace in a world of turmoil. It has everything you need to host a retreat. And the owners are always very responsive and wonderful hosts!

This is our 6th time to use this facility for a marriage and family couples retreat. It accommodates our 10 couples very comfortably in a peaceful and homey setting. The owners do an excellent job at providing all our needs.

A Retreat for the Soul!

Our family enjoyed our first experience at Laurel Creek Lodge. There are dozens of details that make it an outstanding place to stay. We were impressed with the cleanliness, neatly-folded towels/washcloths, tasteful décor, and well-kept grounds. The large kitchen is well stocked (we wouldn’t have had to bring anything along). There is a well-stocked first-aid kit that we used multiple times for bee stings! But what we liked most was the inspirational wall lettering, Bible names for each room, and other references to Jesus Christ. It provides an atmosphere of restfulness, turning our minds heavenward. The lodge was very accommodating for our family reunion of 30-40 people. We soon discovered why the website says to bring insect repellant! We have never seen such a prolific mosquito population. The nontoxic insect-repellant granules seemed to make a difference, and was another thoughtful detail to make our stay pleasant. We highly recommend Laurel Creek Lodge and hope to be back again!

Family Reunion

It's always difficult to find a place that can accommodate our family for our annual reunions. We typically will have 28-35 people. ranging in ages from infant to 80+. The Laurel Creek Lodge was clean, spacious, and has enough bedrooms and bathrooms to please everyone. We are an active group that likes to play together, and there were plenty of outdoor and indoor activities to keep everyone happy. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to prepare and serve meals. The communication with the owners was excellent, and they were very attentive to all our needs. We hope to book the Lodge again!

Beautiful lodge

This is a great place for a large family to spend holidays. The kitchen is a dream to cook in, it’s very well stocked and has everything you need to cook for large groups. The place is very clean and well taken care of. We had fun fishing (catch and release) and one of the boys caught a 43” carp which made his day. Looking forward to next year.

Family Reunion

This was a wonderful place for our family reunion. The location was away from nearly everything so we could focus on our family. The place was spotless when we arrived. The paddleboat and fishing in the ponds were a big hit with our grandchildren. There were multiple places to meet so some could be playing games in one area while others were having a quiet conversation in another area.

Blessed Family Reunion

We had 4 generations from a 4 months old baby to our 80 year old father! We all enjoyed our stay! There was something for all. We played volleyball, horseshoe, corn hole, and all sorts of outdoor sports. We relaxed on the paddle boat and around the fire. The kitchen was large enough for all of us to have fellowship together at each meal. This is a beautiful place! Clean and organized! Beds had comfortable mattresses! It was a blessing to be in a house where you felt the Lords blessing! Each room was named from the Bible and Bible verses were displayed throughout the houses!

Great Place for Our 40 Person Family Reunion

As the title says, this was a great place for our family reunion. Especially appreciated the little things: scriptures on the walls, labels for ALL the stuff in the lodge kitchen, etc. Only comment I heard was, "I wish there was another boat". Probably a good idea there was not more than one. I would hate to see Pirate Wars break out!

Delightful Accommodations

We highly recommend Laurel Creek Lodge for your family gathering! Everything was so clean and inviting when we arrived! A host of activity options like catch and release fishing, paddle boating, cornhole, and volleyball kept the young, the old, and everyone in between occupied and satisfied. We enjoyed the various quiet places with comfortable seating for the adults to sit and visit. The fully-stocked kitchen has everything you need when cooking for a crowd, and the dining room comfortably seated our group of 45. We hope to return to make more good memories!

This is a great place to stay, a very clean, family-friendly place. Everything you need and more for large groups. We also really appreciated the nice Christian atmosphere. We enjoyed the pond, the children really loved the fishing and pedal boat rides! Easy check-in and checkout. Great hosts!

Excellent property to host our family reunion!!!

This beautiful property was the perfect place for our extended family reunion in honor of my mother's 80th birthday. The hosts have thought of everything you may need to accommodate up to 60 people. There are multiple places on the property to gather in groups as well as 13 bedrooms & 3 RV pads to retreat to if you need some downtime. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare and serve a large crowd! I will definitely book this property again if the opportunity presents itself!

Easter Family Vacation

We loved everything about Laurel Creek Lodge. It was super clean and the best stocked place we ever stayed in. The owners are wonderful. They respond immediately. I just can't say enough wonderful things about our stay. We had almost 30 family members from grandparents, kids and grandkids. There was so much to do. The kids already asked if we can do this again next year! This place is worth all the memories we have created. Thank you Lois and Dwayne!!!!!

A perfect retreat...

Staying at Laurel Creek was absolutely perfect for our retreat. From communication from hosts to incredible amenities, everything was perfectly ready when we arrived. We used both houses and there was plenty to do between being outside and the game room, and different places to relax. DEFINITELY would recommend for a large retreat, and we will be coming again for sure!
