Cabins:

Our two newest villages are Meadow Village (completed in 2024) and Pondside Village (completed in fall of 2012). Each of these new villages features five 1,210 sq. ft guest cabins that can accommodate 12 people each. Each cabin has complete handicap access, privacy curtains for each sleeping pod, large windows with privacy shades, high wood ceiling with ceiling fans and large clearstory ceiling windows that open for additional ventilation. The cabins are fully heated with two full bathrooms in each cabin, private toilet rooms and spacious handicap accessible shower rooms. Each cabin looks into the village and has a rock sitting porch for getting to know new and old friends.

In the center of each village is a 950 sq. ft. activity cabin that can host 12 - 40 people for year-round meetings, classes, day and night-time activities.The activity building has four large "garage- type" doors that open the side walls on warm days and beautiful nights expanding the space to accommodate even more people. The activity building has its own restroom for guests, buffet sink with refrigerator and microwave for coffee and snack service, and a large storage room for chairs, tables and supplies. As with the cabins, the activity shelters have high wood ceiling with ceiling fans and large clearstory ceiling windows that open for additional ventilation. Also in the center of the villages are handicap accessible trails to each building, a center grass area, and a village campfire ring with log benches.
