I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle and just be in a place not far from home, but with an atmosphere for rest, relaxation, serenity, and the presence of God. I found it there. The hotel sits on the Bay and Adirondack chairs line across the hill. I sat for hours, fell asleep, and woke up to a beautiful sunset over the bay. It was magical. There are fresh prepared meals, a Chapel, pools, campground, meeting and conference rooms, a small media center(book store) walking trail. My sabbatical was the best. Lots of things for families/kids to do as well Trip Advisor Review
The presence of God was felt as I entered the grounds of Sandy Cove. When I entered the room I could really feel God's glory and it set the tone for me to draw closer to God. Refreshing and rewarding. Steven, Coatesville, PA
