Bethany is located alongside the shoreline of Owasco Lake, offering guests a beautiful view from the main meeting area. Bethany has a unique layout, in that it is made up of 3 “pods” interconnected by hallways. These “pods” give guests great flexibility for their activities and programs. Bethany also is equipped with a kitchenette, a wood stove, a brand new wheelchair lift, a TV and VCR, and a piano. The campfire circle is just a few steps out from the main meeting area.

The two housing “pods”, called the west wing and east wing, house a total of 56 guests (28 each). Each wing has 8 bedrooms, with 3-4 beds. There are also a total of 4 bathrooms w/showers in each wing. All bedrooms include pillows and blankets. Linens can be included for $5 per guest.

History:                                                                                                             Bethany was built in 1962, with the purpose of providing the site with a large, guest-friendly retreat facility. The architect modeled the building’s octagonal pods after Galilee’s historic south porch. Bethany was built on the land that was previously the Case family boat house and the site’s craft shop. The large meeting area included a glass fireplace that stood in the center of the building. This was taken out some 20 years later to make the area more beneficial to large groups and programming.
