Calvin Center

I'm from Saint Louis, MO, came here for our family Reunion. Very nice, rustic setting. So quiet and peaceful. Rooms are very spacious. Would recommend for a conference or event.

Five stars for the rustic surrounding and honesty of staff. I left my purse behind and I came back the next day they had it for me intact. But This place is a dump. The carpet in the rooms is brown and dirty. We had tablets under our bed and ricola cough drops. Which confirms that the place isn't cleaned. They place is.run down, and the meeting room had peeling wallpaper. There was a refrigerator in what seemed to be a.makeshift kitchen where the.paintbwaas peeling. The grounds around the residence were fill of weeds, unkempt and unhedged. Our beds were uncomfortable. We had a full and a twin in a tiny room. The commode in the bathroom was like a rocking chair and moved when you sat on it. No TV or refrigerator in the room nor any toiletries other than a sliver of soap and toilet paper. The stay included meals. We are vegetarian, and they had no clue how to cater to us. Our sandwich for lunch was garbanzo beans made with Mayo. The chef could have made a large salad if he didn't know how to cook veggies. The worst part was that I was stung by a wasp INSIDE the place near the coffee station. Some other people in our group see snakes near the main door of the residence. I hope management reads reviews and works on the shortcomings.

It's truly a hidden gem 💎 The place was so beautiful everything was beautiful!!!!!!

We had a wonderful time at the Calvin Center Conference Lodge for our annual marriage retreat. The staff were extremely nice and very accommodating. The grounds are beautiful. And the food was delicious. It is the idea place and setting for a retreat.

My daughter started horse lessons here a few years ago as part of their equestrian program, and has attended horse camp several times. This is a wonderful program! The first thing I noticed is that all instructors are certified and safety is addressed first at every lesson. The horses here are also extremely loved and well cared for. The staff is so kind and are truly good people. For camp, the camp leaders go through extensive training prior to camp. Not sure what the training is like, but they are great with these kids! Even at handling minor medical issues with ease! I am thrilled we found this program for our daughter!
