The Retreat Space

About

Solo and Team Day Retreats in a modern retreat space designed to help you work, rest, or gather for awhile.

About the Space

The Retreat Space blends modern farmhouse with mid-century modern design for a calm, earthy vibe. 

The interior space offers:  

  • Open living space with comfortable seating

  • Full-sized kitchenette with amenities

  • Double-vanity bathroom

  • Dining table with seating for 6

  • Bedroom for a place to rest

  • Small writing desk

We designed every detail of the space to invite relaxation, peace, and stillness so you can get away from the distractions of everyday life for awhile.

+ The Retreat Space is pet-free, but we do have furry companions in our home
+ Access to the space is by stairs and is not wheelchair accessible

Your Hosts
Kevin & Heidi Zwart

In 2021, we returned to Minnesota after 11 years on the east coast. As new empty-nesters, we downsized, buying a house sight unseen during the pandemic.

Shortly thereafter, we joyfully welcomed two daughter-in-laws and quickly realized our home wasn't going to fit our growing family. We couldn't ignore God's unmistakable nudge to build a home with a dedicated space to share with others. 

Our new space is in a quiet township of the Twin Cities. We designed a multifunctional space for our growing family, that now includes our first granddaughter, along with a private space for others to work, rest, or gather for awhile.

We welcome you to experience the The Retreat Space for yourself.

  • Credit River Township is perfectly nestled between Lakeville & Prior Lake, Minnesota, just east of 35W. We are about 35 minutes south of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

    We are in a neighborhood setting with plenty of space for walks on pavement or nearby horse trails.

  • We are currently not hosting guests overnight. You are welcome to join us for a Day or Team Retreat during the hours of 8am - 4pm, Monday thru Friday.

    Evening and weekend hours may be available upon request.

  • Solo Retreat = $59

    Group Retreat = $99 (up to 8 people)

    We never want cost to be an issue, so please reach out if you are in need of financial assistance.

  • We live in a noisy, fast-paced world. Our body, mind, and spirit needs time to turn down the noise for awhile. We need carved out time to stop the hurry and simply "be" for awhile. You might choose to be silent before God, go for a walk, or take an overdue nap.

    Some need a quiet place to write, study, create, or work. A scheduled retreat day provides the dedicated time to finish a book, prepare for an exam, or work in peace.

  • We provide light snacks and beverages during your stay. Drink selection includes coffee, tea, sparkling and still water. You are welcome to bring meals with you and have full use of our refrigerator, microwave, and dishes. Clean-up is on us!
