        For larger groups, the Irene and Arthur Conference Center has a large meeting area that can be divided and can accommodate up to 90 people in each section. A small conference room is available for meetings of 20 people or less.

        The Lodge
        The Lodge has meeting and dining spaces for up to 45 people. The kitchen has two refrigerators, stoves, and dishwashers. There is a comfortable lounge area with a large central fireplace. There are bunk beds upstairs for youth and young adults (see sleeping accommodation). 

        Driscoll Hall (Video)
        Msgr. Driscoll Hall, adjacent to the Lodge, provides space for up to 32 people. It has a meeting space and a kitchen. Walls of windows on three sides give the feeling of oneness with nature.

        Lounges
        For small groups (6 to 16 persons), the lounges of the residence buildings provide a comfortable space and an inviting atmosphere. 

        The Chapel

        Sleeping Accommodations: Individual or Group Retreat Lodging Options
        Cedarbrake can accommodate overnight or day-only space for large or small groups, as well as individual retreatants who wish to come for a private retreat.

        We have six residence buildings, and each one has eight rooms with private baths that can sleep eight singles or sixteen doubles. Each residence building has one bedroom for handicap needs. Configuration may be one queen bed or two twin beds in each room. We have a total of forty-eight private bedrooms; seventeen rooms have one queen-size bed, and the other thirty-one rooms have two twin beds.
        The Lodge has 18 bunk beds in two upstairs rooms for youth and young adults plus eight showers available downstairs. To use the lodge for sleeping requires a minimum of 20 people and no bed supplies or towels are included. 
        We also have a separate 5-bedroom house (4,000 square feet), which we rent for a 2-night minimum stay. This house is not handicap accessible.

        We provide linens and bath towels for each guest, but no toiletries. 

        Food Service
        Cedarbrake has no regular food service; however, fully furnished and equipped kitchenettes are available in each residence building for guests who wish to do their own cooking.

        For group retreats, a list of local caterers who have served Cedarbrake guests well in the past is available through the Cedarbrake office. Each of the major conference centers also has a fully furnished and equipped kitchen for those groups who wish to do their own cooking or who wish to bring their own cooks.
