The Urban Retreat has beautiful space! Our team met there for an off-site meeting and we will definitely be back! There is comfy conversation space and a nice large table for lunch or more structured work. The view is beautiful and the amenities are wonderful. Some of us have also used the Urban Retreat for a quiet retreat - so nice. Whether you want a quiet space as an individual or a place to gather as a group to work or for prayer and quiet time together, we highly recommend the Urban Retreat!

Whenever I come to the Urban Retreat, I feel like I'm home. In fact, it's always my Home Away From Home. This time I had a silent retreat, and I had no idea that keeping the TV and music completely turned off for the whole time would be so helpful to me. I also got to take as many naps as I needed, and the bed is always comfortable. :) Please do not stop serving people in this way; it's a real blessing. May you be blessed wildly in return!

Had a lovely time - I spent time reading the Bible, journaling, reflecting, meditating, made some personal goals for myself and just practiced being quiet and still - It was just what I needed at just the right time - I greatly benefited from this retreat and look forward to more time in the future at Urban Retreat - Thank you, thank you, thank you....
