2. What is the cost?
$395 per couple for 5 nights and all your meals!

3. What kind of accommodations do you provide?
One would consider Genesee Home a "high-end Bed and Breakfast", although we provide all your meals! An 1880's Victorian home that has been completely renovated and decorated to the tee, with 5 gorgeous bedrooms each with their own private bath! The guests continue to be overwhelmed with the detail and how beautiful everything is, commenting that the pictures do not do justice to the real thing.

4. Can we bring our children?
No, Genesee Home is an adult retreat facility for pastors, missionaries and their spouses. A special time set aside for them to be alone with each other and God: no phone, no TV, no kids!

5. Is there any program at Genesee Home?
Genesee Home provides the time and place for a self-guided Sabbath week. The only appointed times together are the evening meals which include guided discussions on family and ministry (2 hrs. total time) and Wednesday afternoon 3:00pm-4:30pm there is a women's tea in the Parlor and men's coffee in the Prayer Barn.

6. What is there to do at Genesee Home?
All year around: exploring God's creation, walking, jogging, hiking, biking (we have 5 beautiful mountain bikes) and an extensive library is provided for your enjoyment. Summer: canoeing, fishing, and swimming in the creeks and ponds, horseshoes, lawn croquet or bocce ball. Winter: even though the roads all stay dry and clear, there may be enough snow to build a snowman, go tubing or even snowshoe.

7. How long is the "week" and could we stay for just 2 or 3 nights?
Guests check in anytime after 3:00pm Sunday afternoon and leave anytime after a hot breakfast Friday morning. Most of our guests comment that it took them at least 2 days just to unwind, relax, and get physically refreshed before they could really begin to get emotionally and spiritually refreshed. They have asked us not to make it any shorter than the 5 nights.

8. What weeks do you have open?
Genesee Home runs all year around. The calendar of open dates is posted on the web page: www.geneseehome.org/calendar.htm
