About The Retreat at Pointer's Ridge

The Retreat at Pointer’s Ridge is 22 acre venue that sits along the Big Sioux River in rural Southeast South Dakota, 10 miles north of the state’s largest city, Sioux Falls. It is being developed as a space for people of all ages to discover and nurture their inner creativity and to explore nature. The Retreat is largely a day use, seasonal facility. We are open May through October. Our Main Hall has a complete kitchen, fully stocked with utensils and dishes. The hall itself is an open 60’ x 40’ room, with tables and chairs that can be arranged to suit your needs or removed completely. In addition to the Main Hall, our campus has a fully outfitted mobile home for overnight and longer-term stays; one furnished rustic cabin … electricity, AC and heat, but no plumbing; bunk house cabin with AC and wood burning stove; and a furnished A-frame with half bath, AC and heat. There is also plenty of space for tenting and a limited ability to accommodate an RV or trailer. Outside, The Retreat has a large open area for outdoor activities; a 16’ x 24’ screened in porch; large open fire pit and several small, moveable firepits; outdoor games and a swing set for the kids. The Retreat is available for a wide range of exhibitions, lectures, concerts, workshops, family gatherings, and other activities.

The Retreat at Pointer's Ridge - An Eventective User

This September, we hosted a bridal shower at The Retreat's main gathering building; the venue worked out perfect! We were able to re-arrange the furniture /items in the main event area to the layout we desired. And had open use of the kitchen, which included refrig, stove, and cupboards full of dishes, utensils and other things needed to prepare food and drink. And not only was the price reasonable, Deb, the owner, is awesome; friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. We are thinking of having a sibling gathering there too. The Retreat offers furnished sleeping cabins, a camper, and plenty of area for family members' campers to be parked and tents to be put up. And for kids, a great big play area! If you are looking for a casual place on the rustic spectrum to hold a day event or a multi-day event, contact Deb @ The Retreat at Pointer's Ridge.
