Lodging and Meals

Riverbend Retreat Resort

This year we'll be staying at a lovely resort lodge in South Haven, MI.  Built in 2005, The Lodge at Riverbend Retreat offers 3,600 square feet of luxury on the main and lower levels.  In addition to the spacious interior, there is over 2,200 square feet of outdoor deck and screen porches complete with hot tub and furnishings.  The main lodge has five bedrooms and four bathrooms.  Cottage one has three bedrooms and a full bath.

Weekend Lodge Rates (includes all meals):
$150 for double occupancy
$125 for futon family room
$250 for single occupancy - SOLD OUT

West Michigan students have the option of not staying at the Lodge, if they want to drive back and forth. An additional $25 fee will be added to non-overnight guest registrations for meals.


Rooms are double occupancy unless noted. Most rooms will have one large bed and one roll-away bed, some rooms have two twin beds.  Two rooms have comfortable futons and a slightly lower room rate. 

We have added a few single rooms for an additional $100 charge for those who prefer a private room. 

If you want to share a room with a friend, we'll be happy to accommodate those requests.    

A $250 non-refundable deposit reserves your space at the retreat.  The lodge balance is due October 1st.

Rosanne Garvison's review of the retreat center, "I went to look at a retreat center and found my dream home!  Everything is beautiful.  The center is so clean and looks brand new.  I can't wait to stay here!"
