Step away from the constant demands of ministry and experience true rest at our lakeside fall retreat in Annandale, Minnesota. Full Buck Adventures invites pastors and their families to enjoy a peaceful week at a luxurious cabin on the shores of Lake Sylvia. It is a warm and inviting space created for slowing down, breathing deeply, and finding renewal.
As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, the cabin becomes a sanctuary of quiet and comfort. Spend your days wrapped in blankets on the deck, enjoying stunning fall foliage reflected on the water, taking unhurried walks along the shoreline, or gathering around the fire pit as the sun sets earlier in the evening. Inside, the cabin sleeps up to 20 and offers spacious bedrooms with private baths, cozy common areas, a game room, and thoughtful amenities designed to make everyone feel at home.
More than a seasonal getaway, this retreat is a true respite. It is a chance to embrace Sabbath rest in a slower rhythm. Our heart is to give pastors space to step back, be present, and invest deeply in their first flock, their families. With intentional space for reflection, devotional resources, and the quiet beauty of God’s autumn creation, this fall week at the lake offers renewal for the body, mind, and spirit.
Invitations will be sent out soon!

I have been in ministry for 14 years, and I have never been on a sabbatical. Thanks to Full Buck Adventures, we were gifted with the opportunity to spend a week at the Minnesota Cabin. This is the closest thing to a sabbatical that we have ever felt. My family felt refreshed, giving us the time to focus on just being together. I returned to ministry after a week of rest, refreshed and energized to go. Thanks, Full Buck, for giving my family and me this opportunity. We recommend and would do it again!
