Meals

Our Kitchens

We have very well stocked kitchens with commercial appliances. We try to provide quality kitchens for you to use. You can count on a commercial dishwasher and commercial refrigeration at both the Hilltop House and the Main Lodge.  In our kitchens you will find china and flatware for 150 people. We have acrylic tumblers, acrylic water pitchers, and coffee carafes.  Speaking of coffee, we have large coffee urns for large groups and 2 Mr. Coffee pots for smaller groups.  We have large white serving platters and salad bowls plus 6-8 glass serving dishes and many baking and food prep utensils. The kitchen fees allow us to update and maintain our commercial appliances and equip our kitchens with many baking/cooking/serving supplies. You will be amazed at our well-stocked kitchens

Meal Plan Ideas

Here are a few ideas of what past groups have organized as a part of meal plans:

The options for retreat meals are endless.  Just talk to your caterer or brainstorm with your families.  It’s all possible at Anderson Lodge.

If you are self-catering, we would be happy to help you plan and give you any information you might need to make your meal plan successful.

The kitchens are well equipped and the dining areas are large enough for your whole group. When you visit either the Main Lodge or the Hilltop House you will be absolutely amazed at the outdoor dining areas with spectacular views. Groups renting in warmer weather often can be seen at the barbecue or roasting hot dogs in the outdoor amphitheater.

Conference Rooms

Our grand conference rooms and spacious reception pavilions are amazing spaces for any celebration or large group gathering. Please follow all COVID-related precautions and stress cleanliness with your guests. There are sanitizing stations in our conference room and reception pavilion.

• There’s room for a large buffet and conference rounds with chairs for your meal.
• You must open windows and use fans to increase ventilation.
• At least twelve 60″ conference round tables can be placed in either space.
• You will also have access to 8′ and 6′ rectangular tables.
•  Please know that the leather couches and the fabric side chairs STAY IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM.
• Do NOT take the furniture to another room or outside.  It’s okay to move them to the perimeter of the room, but do NOT move them out of the room.
• Do not move the piano. It stays in the conference room. Moving and jostling pianos can damage them, as well as getting them out of tune. 

Whatever the celebration you have planned here at Anderson Lodge, the venue will enhance your event!
