Reviews of ARC Retreat Community
""I set out for a solo retreat for 5 days. The staff were kind and respectful. The grounds were well kept and the trails in excellent condition. The food was mostly homemade, satisfying for my body and my taste buds! I took some meals solo and others staff would join me. The rooms were modest, quiet and just what I expected."" - Cindy C.
""A wonderful retreat. I went for focused, quiet time to revise a lengthy piece of writing, and I made terrific progress thanks to the peace, solitude, and beautiful surroundings. Amenities are great, and I loved the healthy vegetarian food and supportive, thoughtful staff. The cost was very reasonable for a room in a beautiful lodge and being served three meals a day! Highly recommended."" - Martin C.
""In my stay at Arc retreat center I was embraced with a warm welcome and quick tour of the grounds. I experienced wholesome service , comfort, privacy and cleanliness(COVID friendly). Truly a peaceful getaway. I wanted to stay longer. Arc also provided 3 meals prepared with love. They have two fireplaces, in which I got to enjoy one at night. Arc retreat center has a beautiful view to nature which is very calming and grounding. Spiritual books and space to be alone to read or think ( Arc really respects your space)"" - Piere B.
