Most rooms at Mercy Center are single occupancy. However, there are a few rooms with larger beds and a private bath to accommodate couples. If you would like to reserve one of these rooms, please indicate, “Reserve couples room” in the Anything else we should know? section upon checkout. Availability is limited, but we will do our best to accommodate your request. Event fees remain the same per person.

Because most rooms at Mercy Center are single occupancy, the cost for this retreat is slightly higher for those who usually choose a roommate, and slightly lower for those who opt for a private room. If you have the ability to pay more, and are so inclined, you may also donate to our Scholarship Fund upon checkout. Your generosity directly and immediately helps our companions that require scholarship.

Mercy Center provides simple, vegetarian meals for their guests. Please indicate any other dietary restrictions upon checkout.

If you require a cushion for the retreat, please reserve one upon checkout. This will help us to reduce the amount of vehicles and trips required for the event. If you are unsure if you will need a cushion, please go ahead and reserve one so we ensure there is more than needed. Thank you!
