San Damiano Retreat Center is known for having beautiful views from the 220 foot Bluff on the riverbend of the Ohio River. San Damiano is connected to the 289,000 acre Shawnee National Forest & brings our guests a refreshing escape from the hustle of everyday life.

Here you can enjoy the occasional hum of a methodical barge carrying its cargo, open your senses to the soft breezes blowing through the trees, listen to a symphony of night sounds, explore a unique walking path that lowers you to the River below, and experience the birds calling you to a quiet appreciation of the natural world under a canopy of old growth hardwood trees.
