Details
For over 140 years, Woods Retreat has been the home of a church that’s played host to countless Weddings and Community Events. The church was founded by some of the most prominent families in the Minnetonka area, with recognizable names like Stubbs and Maxwell, for whom the two nearby bays are named.
We are continuing the legacy of this historic place by updating the property with modern amenities and new functionality so that this special retreat can be enjoyed by generations to come.
