The SDSU Concert Choir LOVED our time at The Abbey! The accommodations were perfect for our large group of 70 - the staff was like family - we can't wait to come back! Thanks to ALL of you!

Our Administrative team had a strategic planning session at The Abbey of the Hills Inn & Retreat Center. Words can’t express how pleased our group was with the Abbey; the staff, the food, the ambiance – it was all so amazing and so peaceful! The Abbey allowed our group to get out of the workplace environment and have a very productive day, something that we would not have been able to accomplish if done on our own site. The Abbey will definitely be my first option for a future meeting site.

Deacon Paul and Abbey staff,
I spent some time in the Twin Cities this weekend and just wanted to relay the nice comments/recommendation I received from one of the priests at St. John Vianney seminary.

He spoke high praises of their trip from back in January. If you'll recall, they brought their junior and senior classes out for their mid-year class retreats. Here's a short summary of his comments:

"Beautiful, clean, and quiet facilities" "Space for both groups - sleeping and meeting rooms" "Delicious meals and professional presence"

Prayers for your continued success and mission.

Excellent retreat center filled with peace and tranquility. Go there and be prepared to be touched by the Holy Spirit. I recommend the hermitage cabin to spend some time in silence and take in the awesome creations by God.

The Abbey lived up to and exceeded its billing.  We prayed, played, worked and had a great weekend.  Many thanks to Deacon Paul and the stewards for preserving such a wonderful resource.
