Full Service meals are prepared and served fresh in our licensed commercial kitchen at Well Being Center. We serve vegetarian or non-vegetarian meals, or non-vegetarian with a vegetarian option at each meal - your choice. Nearly all of our recipes are gluten-free and mostly organic, often from our garden in the warmer months. We provide assorted herbal and black teas, coffee, fruits, mixed nuts and homemade sweet loafs (such as almond banana loaf) throughout the day. Click here for a more detailed information on Meals
Retreat Lodging
Retreat Center Cabins
There are eleven Cabins and six Cabinettes that together can sleep between 15 to 42 people depending on the number of couples and people that elect to come with a roommate. Pricing varies depending on lodging amenities. All Cabins have tiled floors, vaulted pine ceilings, kitchenettes with fridge, unlimited (on demand) hot water, and very comfortable beds. The Wood Duck is the largest cabin with a full size kitchen, dining and living area. Four cabins are earth-sheltered with sod roofs which keep the cabins warm in the winter and cool in the summer. (Deer will sometimes graze on the rooftops.) The Tiny Houses have AC and are set in the upper pasture and have big views from the back porches.
Wood Duck Cabin (3) - Three Bedrooms, sleeps up to 6, with 1 1/2 baths
Purple Martin Cabin (2) - Two Bedrooms each with two extra long twin beds, shared bath
Blue Heron Cabin (2) - Two Bedrooms, each with two XL twin beds, shared bath
Kingfisher Cabin (1 or 2) - One Bedroom with Queen Bed

The six Tiny Houses each sleeps 2 persons. Each has AC, a private bath, small kitchenette and a deck with a great view of the Cumberland hills stretching for miles. One of the Tiny Houses, Unity, has a queen bed, the others have two extra long twin beds. There is a small kitchen table and two padded chairs. The porch looks out over miles and miles of hills. The Tiny Houses are considered "Private Cabins."
Retreat Center Cabinettes
Our Cabinettes are the most affordable indoor lodging option for retreats. They are located under a mature tree canopy within 60 yards of the Well Being Center. The six Each Cabinette has two extra long twin beds, a mini-fridge, a ceiling fan and plenty of ventilation. These buildings are well-insulated and stay warm in the winter and relatively cool in the summer due to the huge tree canopy overhead. The bathrooms are in the Retreat Center Building just very short walk away where there are large, separate men's and women's bathrooms, both with showers and unlimited (on demand) hot water. More pictures of the Cabinettes here...Note that Cabinettes are not available for Personal Retreats.
Campground
We are a licensed campground and this is the most economical lodging option. We maintain about 1/4 mile of mowed (almost) level pasture directly on the banks of the scenic Powell River. There is potable water and electric connections at the adjacent barn. There are also climate controlled, separate men's and women's bathrooms a short walk away (depending on where you set up your tent) at the Powell River Pavilion. The AT Shelters are also available for tent-free camping at the same price as the tenting option.
