About Us
Pearlstone offers an ideal setting, for both overnight and daytime events. We meet the lodging, dining and programmatic requirements of non-profit groups as they engage in all types of programming.
The Pearlstone Center promotes environmental awareness by modeling bio-sustainable business practices and facilities management.
We also promote inter-group and interfaith exchange and strive to further the missions of other non-profit organizations.
The Pearlstone Center tries to accommodate all levels of Jewish observance. Jewish groups establish the standard of worship and observance during their stay.

"I also wanted to take a moment to say "thank-you" to both you and the entire Pearlstone staff. I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive about working with a retreat center as it is a bit different than a hotel. However, much to my delight, it was so easy and laid back. If anything came up that we needed help with, I knew I could come to you, Jessica, Frank and Jason for help. Knowing that you were all there for us, made my job a lot easier."
-Wendy Clyman, Executive Assistant, STAR
