Gull Lake Ministries can accommodate up to 350 overnight guests and 250 dining guests. Our culinary team is trained and ready to make your on-grounds dining experience in our beautiful lakeside dining room unforgettable. Complete with our state-of-the-art 750-seat auditorium and full inventory of audio-visual equipment, GLM provides the best in conferences and retreats.

Amenities:
Gull Lake Ministries offers a variety of overnight accommodations for groups of two to 350! Guests may choose to use a specific facility or an assortment of facilities, based upon budget and availability.

• Condo Units
  We have a total of 40 rooms in five separate condo units, three of which are lakeside. These beautifully decorated facilities rival the quality and amenities found at many resorts. Each condo unit offers a large great room featuring a living room (most with gas fireplaces), dining table, and some kitchen facilities. They offer six to nine separate overnight rooms, each with a private bath and space for two–six guests in either queen, king, bunk, or twin beds.
  
• Hotel Rooms
  Our Fellowship Center has 24 guest rooms, many with a beautiful view of the lake. Each room has either one king or a combination of queens, doubles, twins and bunks. The rooms have their own private bath and are fully furnished. Guests of the Fellowship Center have shared access to several living areas, board games, and our self-serve beverage stations. Our main dining room is located in the Fellowship Center.
  
• Cottages
  Gull Lake Ministries has 23 winterized cottages, each with two–six overnight rooms. These cozy and comfortable facilities make great “homes away from home.” Free-standing and private, most cottages have kitchen facilities, living and dining areas, and full baths. They are ideal for a long weekend stay or a full week of rest and relaxation!
  
• Youth Dorms
  For the “real” camp experience, our dorm accommodations sleep 10–16 in bunk beds. Each unit offers some living space and full bathrooms. These facilities are great for youth and young adult retreats. Unlike our other facilities, guests must bring their own pillows, as well as bed and bath linens.
• Meals
  Gull Lake Ministries’ main dining room is complete with a fireplace and dozens of windows, making the lake the focal point of this lovely room. However, it's the cuisine that will truly make your dining experience great!

Private Retreats, lasting a day or more, provide time for quiet reflection and prayer, with the option to pray with the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist or join the Community for Tuesday and/or Thursday evening meals.

Directed Retreats offer the additional support of meeting daily with a Franciscan Guide who assists in the process of listening to God. The primary resource for reflection and meditation is Scripture.

We offer accommodations from B&B to retreats for relaxation or personal development. Includes daily meditation times, delicious home cooked vegetarian meals, comfortable accommodations with quiet spaces for relaxing and reflection, lovely pond, in a country-wooded area. Wheelchair accessible lodging and a suite with private bath available.

The Saugatuck Retreat House is fully equipped and newly refurbished. On the first floor, a formal entry hall opens onto three spacious meeting rooms, formerly the sunroom, large dining room and a living room. The latter is complete with fireplace, piano, and audio-visual equipment. An open staircase leads to the second floor, where five bedrooms sleep up to nine guests.

At our conference and retreat center, we offer spiritually enriching programs and bring nationally known speakers to Nazareth. These are attended by people who are seeking to connect with the deeper meaning and purpose of their lives. Individuals come for personal retreats that may last for a day, a few days, or up to 30 days.

Our retreatants can plan their own retreats, or arrange for time with one of our spiritual directors for as much or as little as they would like.

Our 55-acre campus includes hiking trails that traverse field, woods, and marshland. In short, Transformations is a place where you can bring your unique and personal spiritual search and find the means for progress on your journey.
