Several locations that groups have visited for HSW:

Bonclarken, Flat Rock, NC   www.bonclarken.com 

Bend of Ivy Lodge www.bendofIvylodge.com

Livining Waters Catholic Reflection Ctr., Maggie Valley, NC

   (I've been on retreat there and it is wonderful - operated by an order of monks & very reasonable)

Blue Ridge Assembly, Black Mountain www.blueridgeassembly.org  

   (several churches have held weekend's away at BRA & loved it - book early!)
