Discover the unique offerings and spaces for group experiences at Shadowcliff.
The Shadowcliff Group Experience
Bringing your group to Shadowcliff is a one-of-a-kind experience. There's something wonderfully intangible and deeply spiritual about your time at Shadowcliff, even if you're onsite for a business meeting. There are more than a few unique aspects about a group experience at Shadowcliff, but here some key things you should know:
- We share our mission, history, and a bit about who are (along with important safety information) with your group upon arrival.
- It's important to us that each group sharing in meals served in our Compassionate Kitchen contribute to the Shadowcliff community through post-meal dishwashing seva (pronounced say-va, the sanskrit word for selfless service).
- Every guest at Shadowcliff makes their own beds upon arrival and throughout their stay - there is no in-room nightly maid service.
- Our well maintained lodge bathrooms are shared with our other guests and staff.
- Shadowcliff sits atop a cliff overlooking the town of Grand Lake. This equates to gorgeous views and rocky, uneven terrain. All facilities are accessed by stairs, with Riverbend Cabin being the most accessible accommodation (4 steps up to the porch).
- Shadowcliff is a no-smoking and pet-free facility for all.
- Be sure to check out all of our policies and important information.
Accommodations
We offer a variety of European-style lodge rooms, hand built cabins, and hostel dorms, all with a distinctly unique feel that has been described as reminiscent of summer camp and peacefully rustic. Built with love by hundreds of volunteers or many years, our rooms and cabins are a wonderful place for your a group experience.
Meeting Facilities
The Shadowcliff campus includes a variety of spaces supporting large and small group meetings, group gatherings, breakout sessions, and private contemplation. We have two private indoor meeting spaces, one large outdoor meeting space, several nooks and crannies both indoors and out, and even an on-site interpretive trail!
Compassionate Kitchen
A place where the food we prepare and serve is an extension of our mission, you'll find delicious, nourishing food cooked with seasonal freshness and your group's needs in mind. Meals are served family-style and we can accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free dietary restrictions.
Lodging Only
Groups looking to independently execute their experience can book a stay that includes just lodging and a meeting space. Cliffside Lodge has 7 rooms, 4 bathrooms, an indoor dining space, a large kitchen complete with two refrigerators, cooking tools, and appliances, a small deck, and a third floor lounge with books, games, a piano, indoor fire pit, tables, chairs, and comfy seating, that also serves as the meeting space. Cabins may also be available for your lodging-only group stay.
All-Inclusive
Our most popular group experience, the all-inclusive package provides your group with lodge rooms in Rempel and/or Cliffside Lodges and Cabins as an optional add-on, a private meeting space, use of the Shadowcliff grounds, wi-fi, and three meals a day. Shadowcliff management is available to assist you with planning and executing the unique details of your group experience.
