Food Services for Guest Groups

Planning meals for a retreat can be stressful—Big Sky can help. Guest groups can choose to use a kitchen and cook for themselves or request our staff to cook for your group. When BSBC prepares meals, you choose the meal times and our cooks will have food hot and ready so you can invest your energy into the retreat.

Final attendance numbers and allergy information must be submitted two (2) weeks prior to arrival.

Meals are served in the Peterson Lake Lodge Dining Room.

Standard meal times: Breakfast 8:30 AM, Lunch 12:30 PM, Dinner 5:30 PM (adjustable by request).

The kitchen can accommodate gluten and dairy allergies. All allergies must be communicated in advance, and accommodations beyond gluten and dairy cannot be guaranteed.

Late submission of dietary information may result in additional charges and an inability to provide adequate meals for your allergysensitive attendees.
