The house

Room to create, rest, and gather.

Every corner of Still Waters is being renovated with retreat weekends in mind, so your group can settle in and get straight to the good part.

Restful Bedrooms

Six bedrooms in all. Five are upstairs and one is on the main floor with two beds, so anyone who would rather skip the stairs has a comfortable room. One upstairs room is a walk-through that connects to another bedroom, which suits friends or family sharing. Sleeps up to twelve.
