Melwood Retreat Center


Serene Retreat Center PropertyOur beautiful, serene 108-acre property offers the perfect country setting for your event. Nestled in the stately woods of Nanjemoy, Maryland, Melwood Retreat Center is a reasonable drive from Washington, D.C., central Maryland, and northern Virginia. The stunning grounds, lodges, dining hall, and meeting spaces can accommodate corporate and religious retreats, receptions, school groups, family reunions, holiday events, and team building workshops.

Melwood has been advancing opportunities for people with developmental disabilities for over 40 years. Bookings directly support our many programs and services, and more importantly, the people that make Melwood what it is. That same commitment is naturally passed on to customers.

Weddings & Receptions

Amid the rolling hills and woodlands of southern Maryland, Melwood Retreat Center’s stunning grounds offer the perfect setting for your special event. Have your ceremony against the still waters of our pond, or in the picturesque meadows. For an intimate indoor ceremony, consider the Kelly building and its large windows and panoramic view. The Rosier Dining Hall and its vaulted ceilings, stunning view, and modern commercial kitchen provide the perfect venue for your reception. Your guests will attend a timeless event, and may opt to spend the night in our comfortable lodges a short walk away on tree lined, well lit walkways.Retreat Center Event Ground

Business Events

Arrange for a successful business, planning, or board retreat at the Melwood Retreat Center. The hectic pace of the office, with constant phone calls, and daily demands do not facilitate a productive, focused event. Escape to our quiet setting, take advantage of our food service tailored to your needs, and focus on the issues at hand. Take a step towards thinking outside the box by booking one of our team building activities. Our consultant will conduct thought provoking workshops that focus on communication, trust, respect, and problem solving.

Church Groups

What better way to promote spiritual renewal than a weekend in our pastoral lodges that encourage reflection, and on grounds that evoke the majesty of nature? The tranquil groves of trees, gently sloping meadows, nature trails, haywagon rides, and horse related activities give your group the chance to reconnect with the splendor of the natural world. Plan your activities around a crackling fire in our large, accommodating meeting spaces that past groups have used for church services, spa nights, group activities, or simply as a place to congregate.
