Welcome to the Olive Branch Retreat
Olive Branch Retreat is a place to share and to relax with family or friends. Located in Grey Eagle, Minnesota and on Fuller Lake, the Olive Branch is the perfect getaway for gatherings both large and small. It accommodates many venues – special events, couples retreats, girlfriend getaways, crafting weekends, spiritual retreats, business planning or team building. We can accommodate up to 21 overnight guests. Day guests at your discretion.

The Olive Branch is a private home nestled in 57 acres with mature trees and lake front that provides a breathtaking view.
The Olive Branch has been newly remodeled from what used to be a convent to an 'old world' style dwelling to enjoy family and friends. The bedrooms are tucked privately into two separate wings. The gathering space, dining room, screened porch, breakfast porch and kitchen are large in scale and furnished with an antique decor for entertaining and relaxation. A chapel, large outdoor space and renovated chicken barn complete the amenities.

Nature surrounds the property. Walking trails are private throughout and run adjacent to 1100 acres of state land. Fishing on Fuller Lake is always a good catch. Adventure Canoeists can connect to Lake Hennessy from Fuller Lake.
