Gravatt's facilities have been designed
with our guests' comfort in mind. Bishop Cole Lodge,
the Cottages, the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, Stewart Dining Hall, and the beautiful, pastoral
surroundings combine to make for a rewarding, pleasant stay. Guests
can let go of the busy schedules of their daily lives and focus on
the goals of their conference or retreat, enriched by the secure,
comfortable, and calming atmosphere of a place apart.
Accommodations
 Every room in our conference center is fully climate-controlled and sound-proofed to
ensure privacy. Overnight  accommodations include our 12 lodge rooms,
all of which have two double beds and private baths (additional cot
available); and our 16
cottage rooms, which each feature two beds (some twin, some double). Each pair of cottage
rooms shares a bath, so that the layout of the two rooms is
like that of a suite.
Want a more rustic experience? Camp Gravatt is available
for reservation by groups when camp is not in session. Use of
Camp Gravatt is recommended August through October and mid-March
through May, as buildings are not winterized. Up to 200 can sleep, meet, and eat on the camp side in screened cabins and platform tents with community bath houses.
