Testimonials

  • I had a wonderful experience here. Everyone was so lovely and it was the perfect place to get away from everything for a little bit and find some quiet and stillness.

  • I was at the Siena Retreat Center overnight at the begining of October and I can't find enough words to express my gratitude to the staff and the volunteers which went out of their way to make me feel at home and comfortable. The food was homy good and I didn't have to make it. The dinning room was set with social distancing in mind and the volunteers were constant cleaning the tables and all the appliences handles and surfaces. The bedroom was comfortable and the campus was beautiful. I loved spending time by myself at the lake shore.
