Retreats at the Lodge are following the Healthy Washington Roadmap to Recovery guidelines. Our County is currently in Phase 3, which allows us to host groups at 50% capacity (15 guests maximum, one person or vaccinated pairs per room). Group leaders will receive our Safe Start policy guidelines to make sure that all guests are aware of protocols. Contact us for more information.
Owned and operated since 1954 by the Diocese of Olympia, the Episcopal Church of Western Washington,
the mission of St. Andrew’s House is to provide retreats for individual & group reflection
and community-building in communion with God and Creation.
RETREATS
St. Andrew's Lodge
Traditional log cabin style walls, elegant hardwood floors, a massive stone hearth, two oak staircases leading to an overhanging balcony and two bedroom wings combine to make for a retreat experience like no other. The Lodge can accommodate 30 overnight guests; larger groups can book concurrently Bayne Cottage with space for 8 more. Guests often remark on the warmth and nurturing feeling experienced because of our excellent staff, food & facilities.
Bayne Cottage
Built over Hood Canal, the Bayne Cottage provides cozy accommodations for up to eight people. Only a five-minute walk from the Lodge, this charming waterfront cabin features a large wraparound deck, fully equipped kitchen, gas fireplace, and barbecue.
