St. Benedict wrote in his Rule for Monasteries that the monks are to receive all guests as Christ, providing a place for all who come in peace seeking God. To that end, the monks of Subiaco built a Retreat Center known as "Coury House." Dedicated to the Holy Family, Coury House assists in the Abbey’s ministry of hospitality. The Abbey grounds, and the fields, forests and rolling hills of the beautiful Arkansas River Valley, offer a quiet, serene, and spiritual atmosphere for prayer, meditation, reflection, and solitude. Coury House provides excellent accommodations and welcomes people from all walks of life and all faiths in the Benedictine tradition of hospitality. Our facilities include a chapel, meeting rooms, thirty-six completely furnished guest rooms (most with two twin-beds in each room), a couch, comfortable chairs, private bathroom facilities, and an elevator. We would be honored to have you as our guest! You may contact us by phone, email or snail mail at the contact information button below:
