About the name…

“Von Koeke” was chosen as the name of this special house for a number of reasons.  This name, in both the old German and Mohawk languages, translates to “the dwellling place of the Creator” and not only reflects the cultural heritage of the owners, program directors and the Village of Bear River itself, it also relects the healing, transformative nature of the retreat programs we offer.

About the House…
