Guests are also allowed to bring crock pots, or have people drop food off to the Retreat Center during their stay. Should your group choose to provide your own meals, you will also be responsible for bringing all serving wares such as plates, forks, spoons, serving utensils, knives, etc., due to the cross-contamination codes set forth by the OHD.

​

Booking:

​

Should your group decide that you would like to book your retreat with us, you would just need to call our office at 419-332-6522 so we can fill out a reservation form of which you will receive a copy containing all the details. A non-refundable deposit would then be due (around 25% off the estimated maximum due) within two weeks of the booking date. (We also offer installment plans for the deposit as we understand retreatants tend to pay closer to the retreat date.) Once the deposit is received by OLPRC we would send you a confirmation email for your reservation which would include our policies and procedures, our Terms of Service, and the Accommodation Request Form (ARF). These forms are then due 14 days prior to the start date of your retreat and any changes made within 14 days of your retreat date cannot be guaranteed. The final balance would be owed upon arrival and must be in the form of one payment.
