When the owners of our retreat hotel make a statement like, “We believe the world would be a better place if everyone made an effort to be better neighbors”, we know we’ve found a special spot to host our retreat. 

We’re inspired by Project SOAR, the non-profit organization the hotel owners founded in 2013. The goal of Project SOAR is to educate and empower teenage girls to be the leaders of today and tomorrow.
