COVID Update: As of June 30, our State has lifted all restrictions on our capacity to host retreats. We are still encouraging guests to vaccinate for the ongoing safety of all of us. Contact us if you have any questions or need 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.
AMENITIES
Food
Creative home-style cooking is a St. Andrew’s House tradition. We offer nurturing, locally-sourced foods and desserts, and are happy to tailor menus for persons with special dietary restrictions with appropriate notice.
Garden
The grounds of St. Andrew’s House are particularly beautiful and serene. Stroll through the gardens which grow herbs for our meals and enjoy the sights & sounds, with a spectacular view of the Olympic Mountains.
Chapel
Our hand-crafted Chapel, with its large windows overlooking Hood Canal and vaulted ceiling, can hold 100 guests and is perfect for worship, presentations, art-making and special events, such as weddings.
