Mountain Top Experience Christian Retreat
our Vision: To experience Christ in the midst of the Great Smoky Mountains... To grow and restore the family of Christ on the foundation of His Word and His promises.
Mountain Top Experience Christian Retreat was founded to inspire people to grow in their love for Christ and for each
other.
Christian groups, families and individuals are welcome*. Use the property for your own spiritual
respite time in your own way, or join us in one of our hosted retreats**. We have accommodations for up to 39 people plus space for
tents.
Come and renew your soul while enjoying the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains!
* Church groups and other Christian groups as well as full-time Christian ministry workers and their families can stay any available time during our season. Bookings for non-ministry related stays are only available for days between June 15 through August 15 and for the month of October. Exceptions to this can be made if guests will take part in a certain amount of self-directed Christian activity during their stay in order to fulfill our ministry requirements.
**Hosted retreats will be announced on this page as soon as they are scheduled.
