Mount Olivet Conference & Retreat Center

Established in 1976 to offer a place of peace during uncertain times, Mount Olivet Conference & Retreat Center is a nonprofit organization that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit through nature’s beauty, gracious hospitality, and inspiring programming.

Mount Olivet Conference & Retreat Center is a sacred place of exceptional natural beauty, which extends the ministry of Mount Olivet Lutheran Church into the community and the world. Gracious hospitality, attentive service, and supportive community are offered to all, so that guests may work productively and grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.

Nestled in forest and built into hilly landscape, the Cornell House invites guests to relax and recharge. Here you can engage in quiet conversation or personal reflection. The simple layout and neutral colors of our overnight rooms reduce distractions. Free from phones and televisions, our private rooms become places of solitude while our dorm rooms foster communal connection. Designated times of quiet support the presence of multiple groups in-residence at any single time.

The Cornell House features seventeen hotel-style rooms, each with two full-sized beds, a table and chairs, and a private bath. A handicap accessible hotel-style room with two single beds is also available. Sheets, towels, linens, pillows, and a hair dryer are provided.
