Business Retreats

Wilderness Lodge is an ideal place for a business retreat or conference event. The stage for your event is framed within the peaceful and naturally beautiful setting of Wilderness Lodge Resort. Sitting along the crystal clear Black River and nestled among the Ozark forests, Wilderness Lodge creates the perfect atmosphere to help renew one’s energy and drive, foster creative “out-of-the box” thinking, and develop a sense of focus that will positively impact your employees and your business. We also have a number of “team building” activities including float trips, hiking, geo-caching, and all kinds of team-oriented sporting fun. Furthermore, the culinary experience is something your team will enjoy together in the main Lodge dining room whether its in the morning while sipping our fresh-roasted coffee or sharing one of our wonderful 3-course “gourmet comfort food” meals in the evening.

Our goal is your successful event thus our experienced and helpful staff will assist you in the planning, development and and the most important thing, service and delivery of your corporate outing. Our cabins will comfortably accommodate over 100 people, and you will have full access to our large conference room, the historic main lodge, and all of the Lodge grounds.
