ROOM INFO:

There are 25 rooms with private bathrooms are available – 21 basic & 4 handicapped accessible – at the St. Iakovos Retreat Center. The room rates are reduced this year due to a generous donation from an individual who wanted the retreat to be more affordable. Thank you to that OA member.

• Handicap rooms include one double bed and one twin bed. Options are one or two occupants for these rooms.  (These rooms will go to those needing handicapped accessible rooms first.).
