We’ve been providing Christian hospitality to groups of all denominations and affiliations for over 70 years. Our year-round natural setting allows groups to focus on goals and objectives without distractions in a myriad of different ways including church groups, youth retreats, school/college groups, business meetings, quilting guilds, family reunions/retreats, and more! We want to work with you to brainstorm ideas so that your stay is both beneficial and appropriate to your group’s needs, dreams, and goals.
Each meal brings a wonderful time of fellowship for our guests over healthy and delicious homestyle meals prepared daily and served in our beautiful dining facility overlooking Owasco Lake. Emmaus Commons can utilize up to three unique dining spaces for a total capacity of over 250 guests. Mealtimes are served at 8:30 AM, 12:30 PM and 6:00PM. We seek to meet special dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more), providing we receive notice in advance. Please call us if you would like to discuss your specific needs.
