Cobblestone Springs is an interdenominational retreat/renewal center located in the Finger Lakes Region of rural Upstate New York. Housed in an historic 1840's cobblestone mansion, it overlooks the Seneca Lake valley. Well-kept Mennonite farms surround the property, and horse and buggies regularly pass by the house.
Cobblestone Springs is set on 16 mostly-wooded acres with a large front porch, a patio garden, a screened gazebo, an outdoor chapel, and trails with benches in quiet places for prayer and reflection.
Our facilities include two formal parlors for gatherings of 10-15 people, overnight retreat accommodations for 6-8 people, and a library filled with a variety of spiritual reading.
Group Retreats
The two formal parlors, common room, kitchen, prayer room, gazebo, outdoor chapel and trails are available for groups of up to 15. Cobblestone Springs can provide the facilities, retreat facilitation, and food services, as desired. Meals can be provided by our volunteer chefs, by prior arrangement.
