The Pillars

Worth knowing

• Nine bedrooms (seven kings, queen bunks and sleeper sofas) and a 30-guest limit.
• Lower-level theater seats 24 with a desk at each seat and a podium, which the operator pitches for presentations.
• A covered outdoor pavilion has its own kitchen, fireplace and movie screen.
• The operator's group page says confirm event permissions before a wedding and mentions nearby cabins can add sleeping room.
• The operator's bed lists differ in places, so confirm the sleeping plan.

At full capacity that's about 4 people per bathroom. That's our math from the operator's numbers.

Ask before you book

Built from what the operator's page left open when we checked.

1. Is your stated capacity the permitted occupancy, or a count of every bed and sofa?
2. Can meals be provided, or does your group cook for itself?
3. Can a church bus or coach reach the building, and how many cars fit?
4. Which rooms and bathrooms work for a wheelchair or walker?
5. Is alcohol allowed on the property?
6. What is the minimum stay?
7. What is the full price, with cleaning fees and taxes?
