Ewalu Stone Retreat Center

Ewalu Stone Retreat Center is a peaceful group retreat venue in northeast Iowa, set among rolling hills, woodland, restored prairie and walking trails near Strawberry Point. The centre is designed for organisers planning retreats, conferences, seminars, family gatherings, church programmes, school trips and business getaways in a relaxed countryside setting.

The accommodation includes 14 comfortable motel-style bedrooms for groups of up to 52 people. Rooms provide a combination of twin beds and bunk beds, with private bathrooms and showers, while bed linen is supplied for guests. A spacious central meeting room and separate lounge give organisers practical areas for presentations, group discussions, informal conversations and downtime.

Groups can also make use of the commercial kitchen, recreation room, grassy outdoor field and surrounding trails. The site offers several miles of paths through Iowa prairie and woodland, creating opportunities for walks, reflection, outdoor learning and team activities. The setting is particularly suited to programmes that combine focused indoor sessions with fresh air and time away from busy daily routines.

Ewalu can provide homemade meals and food service for visiting groups, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, banquets, receptions and specially arranged menus. Organisers may also enquire about additional activities and services available through the wider camp and retreat centre.

The Stone Retreat Center can be booked for overnight stays or day-only use. Its accessible layout, scenic surroundings, on-site facilities and flexible group arrangements make it a practical venue for organisations seeking a comfortable base for a focused retreat or event.
