Prairiewoods offers several meeting spaces in quiet, natural surroundings for businesses, nonprofits, clubs or departments that want to get away from daily distractions. Our facilities are ideal for out-of-the-box workshops, planning sessions, seminars, retreats and conferences. We provide modern technology, professional audio-visual equipment, free wireless internet, healthy meals made in house by on-staff chefs, and outdoor areas for relaxation. Lodging also is available for meetings that span multiple days.
Conference Room
The Conference Room (29’ x 38’) can accommodate 70 theater style (chairs) or 45 classroom style (chairs and tables). It is a large, open space, which makes it great for yoga and tai chi. The room can be divided in half and features an interactive whiteboard and sound system for presentations.
Lounge
The Lounge (23’ x 25’) is a comfortable space for up to 25 people with a cozy fireplace and easy access to the Meditation Room. One wall is windows looking out on our beautiful grounds, and another features accordion doors that can be closed for privacy or open to let in lots of natural light.
Art Room
The Art Room (18’ x 21’) is a beautiful, well-lit space for up to 20 people. Enjoy ample windows and sunlight with gorgeous views of nature right outside. A mobile media cart allows for convenient presentations, and cabinets full of art supplies allow for creative breakout sessions.

“Thank you so much for the wonderful space and accommodations that (our organization) enjoyed at our retreat earlier this month. It was truly rejuvenating to be in the lovely surroundings that Prairiewoods offers. We had a great time, thanks in large part to you and your gracious staff … we could not have chosen a better venue!”
