Gove Hill Retreat sits high atop the hills of Thetford, Vermont. The 18-room manor, 187-acre estate with trails, private pond and spectacular views of the Green and White mountains, along with our experienced staff, are ready to serve your needs.
From the moment you step on the grounds, you can see and feel God's presence in the beauty that surrounds you. Gove Hill offers warm hospitality for group retreats and safe fun summer experiences.
Groups are encouraged to come and rest and renew themselves in the stillness of the trails and property at Gove Hill. Our staff will help make your event extra special to meet the needs of your group. Free WiFi.
Because we are a small retreat center, we are able to meet your needs specifically. The Manor House has 9 bedrooms with room for 45 people (or 28 on bottom bunk beds or twin) to sleep on beds with handmade quilts. We offer meetings rooms, a library and game room. There is seasonal space in our rustic cabins and Adirondack shelters to accommodate an additional 44 people.
Gove Hill is also known for its magnificent homemade meals. Please call (802) 785-4000 to check availability or book a retreat.
