Bonclarken Conference Center — Local services in Flat Rock

Such a lovely place, went back in August and am still beaming with how lovely the experience was. The food was mostly good with plenty of options like fruit and salads, the deserts were well put together. The campus in itself looks well maintained. The cottages and cabins are nice and spacious with big clean bathrooms. Sitting area was lovely. The fields are large and spacious to do group activities. The youth activity building was just great, we had the partition to separate worship area with recreational area and it served its purpose really good. Bathrooms in the building were big and spacious, water fountain was working just fine, and vending machine was well stocked for the most part. The pool was nice and clean with plenty of lifeguards and staff to keep watch. The Mountain View’s were just amazing. Plenty of Parking space with room for large sprinter vans. Staff was attentive and seemed genuinely interested in serving us. The dining hall was a nice size and drink selection was great. The spaces all were properly sanitized and hand sanitizer is available almost everywhere. We had a dispenser in the cottage and it proved useful. Paper towel dispenser was well stocked. I would love to come back and enjoy Bonclarken once again. Thank...

We have experience with the Lodge hotel-type room. Very nice room with two beds, hot showers, ice dispensers, kitchenette downstairs. Nice meeting room for about 300 in the same building.

Its lovely and peaceful,fun educational,entertaining, relaxing. If you have or are experiencing Cancer, this is the place to help you heal. It is located on the beautiful property of Bonclarken Estates in Flat Rock N.C. where they have allowed people like me to come and enjoy for 25 years. They have two camps a year once in Spring, and once in the Fall. This year 2018 is theirv25th anniversary. This was my second visit, and I thank them and all the people envolved that make this possible... There should be places like this every where for Cancer surviviors to flee to! Thank you Bonclarken Estates and the amazing Leslie Vernar Camp Director and her wonderful staff for putting this all together so well, and to all the volunteers who work so hard with so much caring and...
