What the business community is saying about the meeting facilities at the FREESTONE INN. . .
"We held our annual summer Board retreat at the Freestone Inn, and everyone just fell in love with the place. Our members are located all over the state, so we found that holding our retreat at the Freestone was a good midway point for folks to meet. Many of us brought our families along. There was something in the variety of accommodations -- the main inn, lakeside lodge and different size cabins -- to meet all of our needs. The staff was wonderful, going out of their way to help with both our meeting and family activities. They were willing to do whatever it took to make our visit special. Being at the Freestone next to the lake, surrounded by mountains and pine forest is relaxing, and yet also energizing. We look forward to going back."

"We needed to tap into "out-of-the-box" thinking during our recent board retreat, and the Freestone Inn lent itself perfectly to that sense of freedom. The facility in "The Wilson Mews" was incredible. We opened the huge double doors revealing the outdoor backdrop of meadows and mountains, and felt totally unconfined both physically and in our deliberations and thought process. The food was terrific, and the staff did their 100 percent best, making us feel welcome and handling our requests immediately. Our two-day retreat proved to be very productive. A lot of great ideas came out of that meeting, which I credit a lot to the facility and environment."

"The setting of the Freestone Inn is perfect for a business meeting or retreat. It gives you the feel of being completely away on vacation, yet allows you to focus and get the work done. It's a perfect brainstorming facility. The service is so impeccable and seamless, that you don't have to worry about anything . . . you just spend your time taking care of business."

"We held our three-day marketing meeting at the Freestone Inn. To help us focus on developing a growth strategy for the coming year, we had to get away from the office. The peacefulness and beautiful location of the Freestone were just what we needed to help us work creatively together. The meeting set-up was great, and the staff was helpful. Between sessions, most of us took advantage of a variety of recreational opportunities, including hiking and mountain biking in the gorgeous Methow Valley. Everyone found our stay at the Freestone to be relaxing and very productive."
