Prayer Cabin | Find Peace Now—Book Your Retreat

Our prayer cabin is a simple, rustic, intentional space designed to help you step away from the noise of everyday life and spend focused time with God. Whether you’re seeking clarity, rest, or a deeper prayer rhythm, this experience creates room for you to slow down and be present. You won’t be given a rigid schedule—instead, you’re invited into a flexible, personal rhythm of prayer, reflection, and rest. For those who want guidance, we offer optional 30-minute spiritual formation sessions with either Steven Osborne or Jasmine Anderson to help you process, pray, and stay grounded during your time.

An off-grid sanctuary for stillness and connection with God.

What to Expect

The prayer cabin is a fully furnished 7x11 space equipped with a bed, desk, chair, water, heat, and a kettle for meals like tea and oatmeal. We offer a simple menu or rolls, oatmeal, and fresh fruit. We encourage people to consider fasting in some way for this time away with God. You’ll have plenty of freedom to shape your day, including walking the camp grounds, which many people find helpful for prayer and reflection. While the cabin offers solitude, it is located near the climbing wall, so during camp season there will be some ambient noise and activity. This is not a fully silent retreat, but rather a space to be intentional with your time in the midst of a living camp environment.

Each day, we provide ready-to-eat foods, including rolls, oatmeal packets, and fresh fruit (apples, bananas, and oranges). Drinking water and a kettle for hot water are available in the cabin. You are also welcome to bring your own ready-to-eat food. To preserve the simplicity of the space, we ask that no cooking take place in the cabin. We provide a porta potty next to the cabin. There are also showers and a bathroom available in the Village Bathhouse.

If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know as you reserve your time.

Before You Come

This experience is designed to be simple and approachable—you don’t need any prior experience with prayer retreats to benefit from your time here. You’ll set your own pace without a strict schedule, while still having access to support if you need it. The prayer cabin offers a quiet, personal space, though during summer months you can expect some background activity from camp life nearby. You’re free to stay connected to the office at any time, but many choose to unplug as much as possible. This is for anyone who feels spiritually stuck, distracted, or simply needs space to reconnect.

The prayer cabin is a quiet, set-apart space where you can step away from the noise of life and be present with God. In the Christian tradition, silence and solitude are not empty - they are full. They make room for us to listen, to be known, and to rest in God’s presence.
Silence means setting aside constant words and distractions. Solitude means choosing to be alone with God, not to escape, but to draw near.
You shouldn’t DO anything. You should “Be still and know that He is God.” Sit, breathe, and become aware that God is with you. You might read a short passage of Scripture, pray slowly through it, or just speak honestly to God about what’s on your heart. At times, it may be enough to say nothing at all and just remain with Him.
Don’t be discouraged if your mind wanders; that’s normal. Gently bring your attention back to God. It often takes time to settle into stillness, but over time, you may begin to notice a deeper peace and awareness of His presence.
Don’t use this time to pray longer or harder. This is a time for silence, solitude, rest and a reconnection with God. You might eventually pray about those things, but that should not be your goal for this time alone with God. The goal is to connect with God and have Him direct your path.
Q: Why do I have to make a profile to check availability or register?
A: We are using the same registration program we use for all camp events. To create a profile, all that is needed is an email and password. You will only receive emails regarding your registration—this will not sign you up for spam! Registration takes under 5 minutes, so please don’t let the account creation be a barrier! Cost is $30/day, with a minimum of two day stay.
Q: Why would someone choose to do this?
A: To reset mentally. To reconnect with God. To step away from constant stimulation. To gain clarity on life decisions
Q: Can I bring my own food?
A: Absolutely! We welcome you to bring foods that are ready to eat. Please no cooking. We have water and a kettle to heat your water, but no refrigeration or running water in the cabin.
Q: Do I have to be silent the entire time?
A: Most retreats encourage full silence, but some allow limited conversation for practical needs or optional spiritual direction. We offer spiritual formation sessions where you can talk with a male or female on staff.
Q: What do people actually do all day?
A: Common rhythms include: Personal prayer, Reading Scripture, Walking in nature, Journaling, Resting (yes, really! Some call this ‘Holy Rest”)
Q: What is a hermitage or prayer cabin?
A: A hermitage is a simple, private cabin designed for solitude. It typically includes a bed, chair, desk, and minimal amenities to help reduce distraction.
Q: Will I be completely alone?
A: Yes—most hermitage retreats are designed for full solitude, while still having staff nearby if needed.
Q: Is there electricity, heat, or a bathroom?
A: There is a battery for electricity and small appliance uses. Heat is provided by a propane heater attached to the wall and an outside porta-potty will be close to the cabin.
Q: Do I need to be experienced in prayer or silence?
A: Not at all. Many people come with no prior experience. The goal is simply to be present and open.
Q: What if I don’t “hear God”?
A: That’s normal. Silence isn’t about achieving something—it’s about creating space. Many people experience clarity, peace, or rest rather than something dramatic.
Q: Is this tied to a specific denomination?
A: No. Most centers are rooted in Christian tradition.
Q: What if I get bored?
A: You probably will—for a while. That’s part of the process. Boredom often gives way to deeper reflection and rest.
Q: Is it safe to be alone like that?
A: Yes. Retreat centers are designed with safety in mind, and staff are available if needed.
Q: Can I bring my phone or laptop?
A: You can—but we highly recommend shutting them off for the extent of your stay or even giving it over to our staff until your time is done.
Q: How long should I stay?
A: First-timers often start with 1–2 nights. More experienced attenders may stay longer. We recommend trying to stay for 2 nights so you have a full day of silence and solitude with God.
Q: What should I bring?
A: Bible or devotional reading, journal, comfortable clothes, flashlight, minimal distractions.
