Church retreats in Kentucky

A church retreat house on Rough River Lake

Elder retreats, staff retreats, and men's and women's weekends. Five bedrooms, one big table, and a quiet lake, about an hour and 45 minutes from Louisville.

Built for a group

Everyone under one roof

Most retreat cabins split a group up. Here up to 15 people sleep in five bedrooms, eat at one 12-person table on the covered porch, and gather around one stone fireplace. It's a lakefront home, not a camp, so meals and sessions happen wherever you like.

  • 15guests, 8 beds
  • 5bedrooms, 3.5 baths
  • 12seats at the covered porch table
  • 6Roku TVs and Starlink

Elder retreats

Room to pray, plan, and rest

Pull your elders away for a night or three. Mornings start with coffee in a quiet spot by the water, sessions happen at the porch table or by the fire, and evenings end at the firepit. Our sample schedules give you a starting point.

Quiet spots for Scripture and prayer

  • Daybed swing on the lakeside patio, under the porch
  • Adirondack chairs by the lower-level French doors
  • Upper porch sectionals with a view of the lake
  • Waterfront deck down the back steps
  • Five bedrooms, each with its own AC unit, for real rest

Men's & women's retreats

Fellowship that isn't rushed

A pool table with a poker topper, game tables, a wet bar with an ice machine, kayaks, and a firepit give you plenty to do between sessions. A kitchen with Thor appliances and a big island makes cooking for 15 easy.

Meeting space

  • 12-person covered table on the upper porch, overlooking the lake
  • Great room with seating around the stone fireplace for whole-group sessions
  • Lower level with game tables for breakouts, and French doors to the patio
  • Starlink internet and six Roku TVs for slides, videos, and video calls. Ask Greg about connecting a laptop.
  • Kitchen with Thor appliances and a large island for cooking for 15
