Staff was gracious and very helpful. Janice was a pleasure in interactions. The place has an unique history and fascinating architecture, with a Julia Morgan designed dormitory building, featuring a lovely courtyard and elegant banquet room, which accommodates very large groups, and also boasts a stage. The cabins are rustic, but updated, showing a few wrinkles consistent with their age! The Welcome Center appears to be a well thought-out modern building with a stylish dining room. The Redwood amphitheater is a hidden delight that was easily transformed into a wondrous forest glade, as a backdrop to the recitation of wedding vows. In all, the weekend spent at Green Mountain Retreat was a relaxed and incredibly positive experience. I would definitely return.

I had my wedding at Green Mountain Retreat and it was wonderful! There were plenty of cabins for all my guests to stay in, a beautiful redwood grove for the ceremony, a nice dance/dining hall, and super helpful staff! I'd recommend it to anyone for a wedding or other group event.

Beautiful grounds, large dormitory style building with a huge meeting room. It held all 100 of us easily. The food was very good at our 3- day retreat. They served us healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, and accommodated the various food allergies. The pool was a delight on a hot day. The coffee could have been stronger, and if you have any difficulty, walking up a hill, don’t stay in the cottages. The dorm was more accessible, and attached to the meeting room. It’s a beautiful setting, and I would recommend it for your casual retreat.

Everything was prepared really well and the staff was super responsive whenever I needed anything, so I was able to just enjoy my wedding and not worry about the venue logistics at all. I'd highly recommend it to anyone for a wedding or other group event.

The setting (in Lexington Hills, CA -- who knew?) is fantastic. I was here for a large group for a symposium with talks, meals and hanging out; I liked all of the public rooms and buildings that I visited. Our food was lovingly prepared, and really quite good.There are lodgings scattered all around the property. Some of the cottages might be OK. I stayed in a dormitory-style building that apparently was some kind of monks' residence when it was first built. That was clearly long ago. My first thought when I walked into the residence was "museum of mildew." The rooms have old-style plumbing, or no plumbing at all, and what's there doesn't work all that well. My bedroom could be locked from the inside while I was sleeping but couldn't be locked for the day when I was gone. As a result, I ended up leaving my electronic devices alone in an unlocked room for much of my stay. That sure made me nervous, but there was no actual problem in the end.If it's vampires that keep you up at night, you can relax while you're at the Retreat. The crucifixes scattered around the property will keep them at bay.

Absolutely great for a company retreat, group of 25. Lots of parking, gorgeous grounds, and very helpful friendly employees. Plus the food they made was way better than expected for group meals. Would highly recommend. They even have 1 AC EV charger 30a

I held a 130+ person party at this venue, and it was so wonderful. The owners were incredibly friendly, professional and easy to work with. The venue itself is expansive and beautiful, with numerous amenities and venue options- you need to see it for yourself! My guests could not believe that there was such a hidden gem in their own "backyard" that they had never seen before and since it's a newer venue, the vendors had never been and all raved at its beauty. Before I booked I was concerned about my guests driving up and down the hill, but it is only 2 miles off of the 17 and we heard no complaints from guests (and they all responsibly navigated or took a rideshare) so it was not a problem at all. Thank you to the staff at Green Mountain Retreat for making the party such a success!
