WELCOME TO THE SHACK

You’ve Been Gifted a Season of Rest & Renewal

Someone who cares about you deeply wanted to give you the space to slow down, step away from the noise, and hear His voice.

A Message for You

Life moves fast, and the pressure to keep up can leave you feeling drained, overwhelmed, and constantly pouring out for others. True rest is rarely something we plan for ourselves, so someone special stepped in to give it to you.

At The Shack, everything has been prepared so you can simply arrive, exhale, and receive. There are no crowded schedules, keynote speeches, or mandatory sessions.

The Heart of Your Getaway

There are no required sessions or keynote speakers. God is the speaker, and the bible is the agenda. Bring yourself, open the Scriptures, and let Him restore your soul at your own pace.

What Your Gift Includes

When you come to The Shack, every detail of your physical comfort is taken care of so your heart and mind can focus entirely on seeking the Lord.

  • Comfortable, Private Lodging
    Restful accommodations designed for deep sleep, peaceful mornings, and quiet reflection.

  • Nourishing, Home-Cooked Meals
    Warm meals prepared for you throughout your stay—no cooking, planning, or dishes required.

  • Uninterrupted Space & Stillness
    Surrounded by quiet beauty, walking areas, and cozy nooks to read, pray, or sit by the fire

  • Complete Personal Freedom
    Your time is completely your own. Sleep in, take long walks, or spend the entire day in Scripture.
