Lodging & Facilities for 100+ Guests

Comfortable accommodations are ready to host your entire group. The retreat offers 8 cabin-style motel rooms (each with 2 beds, sleeping 4 per room), perfect for families or couples. In addition, a newly built bunkhouse can sleep over two dozen guests in single beds – ideal for youth groups or team retreats. There are also 18 RV pads with full 30/50 amp hookups (water and sewer) for those who bring RVs or wish to camp on-site. A large dining hall with a commercial kitchen can serve the whole group: it seats 80–120 people comfortably for meals or meetings.

With 15 acres of open space, ample parking, and even a boat launch and 300’ fishing pier on the lake, the facility is well-equipped to host church camps, retreats, and reunions of all sizes.

Recent Upgrades & Improvements

The current owners have invested significantly in upgrades and maintenance to ensure the retreat is turn-key ready for its next chapter. All eight cabins were renovated with fresh paint, new flooring, and updated furnishings to provide a cozy, clean stay. In 2023, they remodeled a 1,500 sq ft bunkhouse from the ground up – it’s fully climate-controlled with a new 5-ton HVAC, new plumbing and electrical, and interior features that include 28 new beds/mattresses plus modern restroom facilities (4 showers, 2 stalls). Outdoor recreation got a facelift too: the mini-golf course sports refurbished putting greens and repainted obstacles, and the saltwater swimming pool was professionally serviced with a new pump for crystal-clear water. Other improvements include installing security cameras, expanding high-speed Wi‑Fi coverage, and adding dusk-to-dawn lighting for safety. Even the old fishing pier was rebuilt for anglers to enjoy. These updates mean the next owner can step in with confidence that facilities are in great shape, meeting modern standards for comfort and safety.

Financials & Value Proposition

Bundick Lake Retreat & RV presents a tremendous value opportunity for a mission-driven buyer. Under current out-of-state ownership, the property has been underutilized – generating only about $100,000 per year in revenue due to remote management and minimal marketing. A hands-on church or local organization can significantly increase outreach, occupancy, and programs, tapping into the property’s full capacity (the effective gross income at just 60% occupancy is estimated around $165k. At an asking price of $950,000, the center is priced well below its intrinsic value – internal valuations put the total replacement cost (land and improvements) at roughly $2 Million, meaning you’re effectively acquiring the real estate and amenities at a 60% discount. The operating costs are reasonable, and with better utilization the cap rate and cash flow can improve substantially. In short, this retreat is not only a place for ministry and community impact, but also a savvy investment – offering significant upside as a camp/retreat facility that could be run year-round. The sale includes all land, buildings, equipment, and inventory (from the Kubota mower down to tools and spare parts), truly a turn-key package at a great price.
