Meeting Facilities
The Mountain Retreat & Learning Center offers a variety of meeting rooms and outdoor spaces to suit the needs of your group.
 
The Great Room — located in the Lodge, seats 75 in comfortable conference chairs. The full-length windows on the eastern exposure offer beautiful views of surrounding mountains while the western side of the room centers around a hand-crafted stone chimney and fireplace. The southern exposure opens onto a large deck overlooking Blue Valley. The vaulted ceiling and exposed beams create a spacious ambiance, while couches around the fireplace provide a comfortable atmosphere for smaller groups. Furnishings include a Steinway grand piano.

Heritage Hall is located next to our dining facility, and is especially appropriate for workshops, informal gatherings, and traditional classes of up to 60 people. A covered porch with rocking chairs overlooks our Play Structure designed for our smallest guests. Photos by Sandy Arroyo.

The Tree House, with stage, grand piano, and a treetop view of The Mountain and Blue Valley, provides space for large groups and gatherings. The high ceilings and wood floors make the Tree House a perfect place for concerts, lectures and meetings, as well as workshops and seminars which require participants to have freedom of movement.

The Amphitheater, also known as the Fire Ring. Adjacent to the Tree House is a Fire Ring which is ideal for outdoor ceremonies and campfires.

In addition, our large outdoor Amphitheater provides groups with space to gather around a campfire, drum, or enjoy an outdoor classroom.

The Lower Rec Hall is ideal for workshops, classes and informal gatherings. Sofas and comfy chairs ring the fire place and a piano is ready for sing-alongs. Windows ring the room making for a light and airy feel.
Comfy sofas around the fireplace. A great place to just "hang out" with your friends.
