Guests will enjoy spacious bunk accommodations featuring comfortable 9 inch Twin XL mattresses designed to help large groups rest comfortably after long days of activities, training, meetings, recreation, and quality time together.
From late night conversations around the fire pit to competitive games on the court, Slab Creek Retreat creates an atmosphere where some of the best memories happen between the scheduled activities — shared meals, laughter, games, conversations, and simply being together.
Mornings begin with peaceful East Texas views and coffee with your group, while evenings often end around the fire pit sharing stories, laughter, and memorable moments together.
Your stay includes access to over an acre of spacious outdoor gathering and recreation areas surrounding the lodge.
