If you have double occupancy, your cost will be approximately the same amount as staying in the retreat house. The hotel list below has rooms blocked for you… until October 13, 2016.

Some meals and transportation are on your own. You can fly into Milwaukee (approximately 2 hour drive time to Appleton/Menasha) or Appleton (APX) airport (only 10 – 15 minutes to retreat house – if you need to be picked up…. We can do that for you!).
