Our Facilities

Cedar Cross can host up to 16 guests overnight in our three facilities. Groups may make use of all three facilities if needed and available. See our accommodations page for more details.

Entrance to lodge The main lodge can accommodate 10 individuals overnight and up to 16 for day use. It offers a comfortable, family-style space with a large living room as our main group meeting place. A fully-equipped kitchen and adjoining dining area allow for either catered or self-prepared meals. Several sleeping areas (1-4 beds each) provide restful overnight space. A shady screen porch and wide deck provide welcoming places to enjoy the outdoors.

Heron's Nest

Heron's Nest cottage was designed primarily for individuals or couples, but is also pleasant space for small group day use. Overlooking Spirit Pond and far enough from the lodge for privacy but close enough for convenience, it is fully furnished with an open living room, kitchen, bath, two bedrooms, deck and screened-in porch.

WoodSong cottage provides a slightly larger retreat space, just right for a small group or family, and available as overflow sleeping space when large groups are using the Lodge. It will accommodate 4-6 people overnight or for day use. A comfortable living room and eat-in kitchen provide everything needed for a day, a weekend, or a longer stay. A wide deck and wheelchair ramp make it inviting for people of all ages and abilities.

Art Studio and Garden Loft A two-story Art Studio building includes space and a variety of materials for individual or group creative expression. The Art Studio building is also home to our Cedar Cross gift shop, which features artwork, hand-crafted items, notecards, and copies of Cedar Cross publications. Upstairs, the Garden Loft offers peaceful, reflective space for an individual day retreat or small group meeting.

There are about 4 miles of trails through various ecological zones with many benches and reflective spaces. A labyrinth for meditative walking has been created on the property.

"The Way of Jesus", a meditative walk in a wooded setting, is also available to retreatants. There are 14 stations where you can reflect on the major themes of Jesus' life and ministry. A booklet and pamphlet are available to aid your reflection.
