FAQs

We see a lot of common questions come in when it comes to the use of the space and event questions in general.

Don’t see your question? We are here to help. Call, email, or fill out the form below and a member of our team will be in touch!

What is the capacity of the lodging and tents?

We can sleep up to 40 in the lodge, across 16 rooms.  Each room is private, with its own bathroom, full-length mirror, mini fridge, microwave, and closet.  We can accommodate smaller group meetings in the lodge; for larger groups, we use the outside tent.  That can accommodate up to 120 guests.

Where do people sleep if there are more than 40?

We have agreements with local lodging for discounted rates.  Just let us know and we can provide you a link to make reservations there.

We are surrounded by public lands; for those that love camping, there are several camping areas just off the property that you can utilize as well.

Is the venue ADA compliant?
Yes.  Keep in mind, we are in the foothills of the mountains, which means gravel, roots, and rocks.  But where people park, sleep, meet, and eat, it’s all ADA accessible.
Where is event parking?
The parking lot is within a couple hundred feet of the lodge and main tent site.

Our lot can accommodate about 40 vehicles.  For larger groups than that, please reach out as we have several other parking options available.

Do we need to hire a coordinator for weddings?
No.  They are recommended, but not required.  We can refer to several if you need.
Can we tour the venue?
But of course!  Give us a call.  We are open year-round and are glad to show you the property!
At what time do evening events need to end?
Outdoor music and the like needs to stop by 10pm per Valley County rules!
Can we use candles or sparklers for events?
Valley County is prone to wildfire during certain times of year.  While we do not have a blanket policy against open flames, ALL open flames (such as candles) that are outside of designated fire pits require prior approval of The Retreat McCall before they will be permitted.
Can we put a hold on our event date?
We can place a soft hold for a date while you solidify plans.  To secure the date, you’ll need to sign an event contract and provide deposit.
Speaking of deposits, what's your policy?
50% upfront, 50% due the week before the event or conference.
Are tables, chairs, and linens included in the rental fee?
The tent, tables, and chairs are included in the rental fee.  Linens are not.
Can we decorate prior to the event date?
Oftentimes we can accommodate this for a per-day fee of $500.  Please let us know if this is something you’ll need.
What is your minimum required stay?
We require a minimum stay of 2 nights.
What is the cost per night?
Great question.  Let us know your specific dates and we can let you know.  Generally prices are higher during peak season and weekends, and lower during midweek and shoulder seasons.
Is there a preferred vendor list? How do we select a caterer and/or bartender?
Yes, please reach out for our preferred vendor list.
Is event insurance required?
For weddings and large group events, yes.  For smaller group sizes we handle on a case-by-base basis.
