Friendly, professional staff was happy to work with us when our retreat home of 25 years unexpectedly gave us the boot. Staff are on call most hours and quite responsive. Cabins are cozy and well-maintained. Good eats in the dining hall. Beautiful surroundings. read more

I've been to this place a couple of times for events, and I have to admit that the level of service has tremendously declined. The cabins are filthy! Restrooms are moldy and you're lucky if you get hot water to shower. It's a hit or miss. The food is so bad! The only edible looking food items were the pre packaged cereals, yogurts and toast. Even the drinks were watered down. I won't be returning to this place & I don't recommend it. read more

Heavenly Father, As we face the trials of this day, we hold onto the wisdom and promises found in the book of James. We are reminded to consider it pure joy when we encounter various challenges, and to seek Your wisdom, which You willingly and generously bestow upon us. We understand that every good and perfect gift is from You, our unwavering and unchanging Father. Grant us the strength to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, and help us to persevere under trial. May our faith be accompanied by action, breathing life into our deeds. In this morning's trials and triumphs, may we find peace in knowing that those who persevere shall receive the crown of life promised by the Lord. Strengthen us, guide us, and fill our hearts with Your enduring grace. Amen. read more

Always incredibly friendly and helpful staff and management! Our organization has been working with Pali for almost 10 years.

We were totally disappointed in the cleanliness of this establishment. I don't have to say much here are the pictures to prove it. Blood was on the paper towel holder, there was red punch spill and she spilled and splattered all over by the toilet, the beds and Floors have not been cleaned as you can see the dust and and as one of the people want to stand up to get up on the top bunk there was a big nail as you can see sticking out that could have smashed their hand. Not to mention the big globes of hair that was in the showers. Sadly we sent all of this information over to the managers and the coordinators and no one has even responded! I guess no response means I'm guilty and I'll do better! read more

This is the second year coming to this retreat and we have to say it's a nice location. We have mixed feelings but I hope next year we get improvements. Please read the review for the reason of the 3 . Niko was in our first retreat manager and we loved him . He helped us in every way possible to make our women retreat smooth .We came in 2020 and the rooms where well taken care off from beginning to end . He was fast and efficient in all our emails and walk thru . He was polite and so charming . If this year was the same we would of have them a 5x stars. This year 2022 we had Tyler and Carlos who to start off didn't have great communication. They took for ever to answer our emails and to give us communication towards our event . I assume we had all our request we email and talked . But when we arrived we had the wrong rooms we requested and a lot of missing services paid and talked about. Tyler was very indifferent to our needs and rude. He didn't have any care in our needs .Thank god niko came and helped us after me and my sister and law were a bit upset . The food was decent and had alot of choices. They had in the morning pancake's and French toast . I'm the afternoon they had tacos and pasta . The rooms this year were not serviced and not clean when we arrive . Beside that the deluxe rooms are very nice and up to date . Also there is a lot of beautiful nature . We saw a deer and at night we get to see the stars Also ,the fire pit location we had was beautiful . Thank you again niko for our fire pit and s'mores . Lastly the service men took for ever this year to turn on the tv in our meeting room and we had a hard time for our meeting . Even though we didn't have a great experience this year I hope next year we do . But if you want a great experience ask for niko read more

The cabins on top were amazing nice, we had a music box to listen to music and had a tv upstairs to watch and had room to play

Came here as a chaperone for a music retreat in January with 6-9th grades. Everyone had a great time with their ensemble and made new friends with good food and fun. The staff and facilities were great and the snow fun, s'mores and zip line made it even better..! read more

Very high end and accommodating place for our group of about 100. Everything from the food to cabins were good. We did have the Bear's Den meeting place leak on us (ceiling) when it rained but they were quite accommodating and moved us. We did the campfire package, axe throwing, archery, and ziplining--all in challenging weather but it still worked out. Overall it was pricier than our average retreats but the upgrades were justified. read more

My guides group has been to Pali 3 times now for winter camps. The facilities and staff has always been great. The food is pretty good, as far as camp food goes. Looking forward to more time there. read more

Beautiful retreat with so many different activities for families and groups. Several choices for food options including gluten free and vegetarian. read more

Beautiful grounds that are well kept, well attentive staff. Would definitely book here again. Make sure to bring a mattress pad if you care about that sorta thing . read more

Each fall I host an event for 700+ people here. The facility is amazing and takes such great care of all attendees! There is space for everyone, activity options for everyone's different adventure levels, and the food is amazing! Staff work with me to help create a phenomenal program that bring attendees back year after year. I cannot recommend Pali enough for a weekend getaway for small to large groups they do it all and make the planning so easy. read more

Thank you. Great place to get centered We had a great stay and enjoyed our stay. The best read more

Pali Retreat - Great place to get centered - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Running Springs, California

This place was terrible. The bathrooms were dirty and the beds had other peoples belongings and there was hair all over the place. I got the most painful food poisoning ever from the salmon this place served. Do not waste your money. It is far too expensive for the quality to be this low. read more

We held our church retreat with 90 participants over the Thanksgiving weekend. The food was excellent, the cabins were immaculate, and we relished the campfire at night. The meeting rooms accommodated our three groups well. Overall, we had a very positive experience there. Highly recommended. read more

Great experience at Pali Retreat. The staff was attentive and friendly. The accommodations were nice -- the bunked cabins had cot mattresses that side sleepers weren't big fans of, but the private rooms were great! The meeting space was prepared for us when we got there and was great for our needs. Tons of activities here and the food is pretty good (able to accommodate dietary restrictions well) and the coffee was better than I expected. read more

A very fun experience with my kids! The staff was amazing and all the activities were so fun. Will definitely be coming back!

Great place for a weekend retreat! Large space, lots of activities, food is pretty good. Staff was really nice, and when we had to park far, they tried to offer a ride for those who needed it. Rock wall needs tightening and adjusted our kids in our age ranges, bathrooms can be updated... But overall, a great weekend with 500 Girl Scouts! read more

It was really fun. The food was good. The cabins stayed warm. The at night you can see the stars!

Great camp facility that can facilitate multiple large groups, for all ages, for all seasons! This facility is surrounded by breathtaking view of the mountain. There are several mid to large group gathering areas with several different types of cabins. Each cabins have multiple toilets, sinks and showers! Average of one stall for 4 people. Bear's Den meeting room has an amazing view of the mountain - one entire side of the wall can be opened up like a garage door! There are numerous fun activities available - zip line, pool, track and hike the beautiful mountain, rock climbing, paintball, high rope... etc but can be seasonal. Food is great and they accommodate different food allergies! How thoughtful!!! They always have salads, fruits, desserts and drinking fountain for that all you can drink sodas. It would be nice to stagger the groups during meal time to cut down the line... Overall great experience! read more

Pali retreat was amazingly accommodating to our group. They provided everything we needed to hold a men's retreat. Bunks we're good, nice, and clean. Door was good. Highly recommended! read more

Went for a work retreat and our cabin was infested with bed bugs. Still dealing with the terrible itch and anxiety that was a result of it. Staff did not seem very empathetic to our team when dealing with this. Would not recommend coming here for the lack of understanding and kindness. read more

Great retreat site. Had so much fun. Clean bedrooms and it's a wonderful place to play in the snow.

Our group had a great time at Pali retreat! The aspect of this location that blew me away was the staff. The staff was always so helpful and willing to answer any questions we had. One staff member went above and beyond for one of our campers who injured herself by carting her around in the gator from the cabin to the bonfire and back. Truly a staff who cares! Thank you Palo read more

They had asked me to make a review on yelp, and google and facebook, to be entered into a raffle drawing, which I ended up winning. They didn't have the physical gift card to give to me before I left for the weekend, but they said they'd mail it to me. It's been over a year, and I still have not received the gift card prize that they promised they'd mail to me once they made it. read more

This place by far has the best customer service. All the staffs are nice and friendly. The staffs went above and beyond. Best retreat site food! read more

I loved this retreat so much. I enjoyed the environment and how sweet and helpful the staff are. Some of the cabins are a little rough but I mean that's common in a cabin. I enjoy so much about my stay :) read more

Came for a trip with my school choir for the first time and it was amazing! Personally underestimated the cold weather and snow but it was so fun and helped us come closer as a choir family. Would definitely come again if possible read more

My time at Pali Retreat was influenced by a retreat from an organization through my College. I felt like their house was incredible and made sure to see if we were accommodating every aspect. They take customer approval to the next level in trying to make everyone feel accommodated.. read more

Well run fun activities but could use update on some cabins. Will go again. Zip line, archery and many other fun activities! read more

Pali Retreat - Walk to breakfast - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Running Springs, California

My orchestra went here for a retreat and the cabins and scenery were absolutely gorgeous. Loved the help that our group received when doing archery and going zip lining, especially because it was really cold. Though my cabin was a little too hot at night, it was still a very fun experience. The food options were enjoyable, and I hope to come back soon. read more

Pali Retreat - sunrise over the lodges - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Running Springs, California

The facilities are nice and clean. The cabins are insulated and quite warm at night. The running tap water can get quite hot. The only thing is the shower is lukewarm, so it feels cold when you hop in, but as you body adjusts, it feels warm. read more

A great place to relax and enjoy the company of new people and have some delicious drinks coffee tea as well as a good breakfast lunch and dinner ideally would be to have more cooked vegetables for the non-meat eaters but overall comfortable Kevins in great areas to walk. read more

Running out of food and cold food for the wedding at $90 per person is only the failure of the local. Out off coffee at breakfast 30 mins in to a Sunday morning. Running out of food for people to stand in line in the caffeine, and the hard cheese on the cold Portabella mushroom that was to be served hot. Cold chicken skewers.. 175 people from the first table that my daughter was seated to the parents table no hot food was served for the dinner. This is coming from 45 years of catering experience, and event coordinator was the biggest failure of of food service from beginning to end of the three day weekend. Highly recommended that one staff member has a walky-talky that remains behind what ever buffet table and monitor that station and communicate to the kitchen staff to bring replenishment. That buffets are left unattended is totally unprofessional. read more

The food was really good, the cabins were clean and conveniently located. We enjoyed their outdoor activities especially the zipline and archery. It is a great place for big families and groups of family friends to come and enjoy the great outdoors! read more
