I was afforded the opportunity to spend not one, not two, but three nights at the Beaver Hollow Conference Center back in August. (I'm a mom with two active kids under 4. Reviews take a while for me to write now, lol.) My Open Buffalo Emerging Leaders conference was there, and boy did this place give me allll of "The Great Outdoors" feels!
You are literally surrounded by beautiful nature that inspires you to put down your phone and soak everything in ... after you take a few photos, of course (lol). All of the meals were prepared to perfection -- and we had buffet style the entire time. The food was fresh, plentiful, and made me hate the thought of returning home as I would not be blessed with such a delectable breakfast, lunch, or dinner after the retreat.
The rooms were also nice: cabin-esque on the outside for those who love all things rustic, and hotel-esque for the bougies of the world who refuse to "rough it." The only hang-up was the reception (both WiFi and phone connection), but that was expected.
Given this place is a part of the Biggest Loser training area, there was so much to do and soak in. If you wanted to gym, you could gym. If you wanted to play basketball or tennis, there were areas for that. I also enjoyed the many outdoor pavilions that were often the backdrop to our discussions and training. There's nothing that will instill calmness quite like reflecting along the lake.
All in all, the Beaver Hollow Conference Center was a wonderful experience I truly will not forget.
... Did I also mention you can take canoes out on the lake at will? read more
