The Haven
Sometimes, getting away from the hustle and bustle of life requires a restart. And there’s no better way to do that than in the beauty of God’s creation. The Refuge Retreat Center sits just 15 minutes from the northern entrance of Lassen Volcanic National Park where our 8 acres of relaxing and wooded forest are here to help you come away and rest in the Lord. An overnight retreat can allow the distractions of life to fade away and for you to once again “trust in the slow work of God” (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin).
As you consider your need for retreat, we invite you to stay at The Haven. It is our hope that as you stay here, you will experience a rich time of connecting with God and one another and that you would come away feeling refreshed by the quiet and stillness experienced in the midst of the Lord’s wondrous creation. This space is fully furnished and outfitted with all that you need to experience God’s goodness, grace, and care.
Surrounded by pine and cedar trees near Bailey Creek, Lake McCumber, Burney Falls, and Lassen Volcanic National Park and comfortably sleeping 6-8 people, The Haven is your choice for a cabin in the woods that is ready to host members of your church, small ministry team or Bible study group. The Haven is equipped with a full kitchen, dining room, large living room with fireplace for meetings and prayer, three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. Additionally, there is a washer and dryer and large deck with a BBQ. We also offer a number of outdoor spaces on our adjacent property for experiencing quiet times and meals together, including our outdoor chapel.
Need help planning a retreat? We can help plan a specific retreat for your group, working with you beforehand to see what themes are most important for your group right now. We have lead retreats on specific passages of Scripture, God’s character, experiencing His peace, hearing His discernment in future areas of life, remembering ways He has been present in the past, and the like. Let us know if this option would be something you would like to talk more about. Individual and group spiritual direction is also available upon request. Fees depend on the particular needs of your group and will be discussed ahead of time.
Rental rates for ministries and individual spiritual retreats are $50 per night per person, up to $150 per night for all three bedrooms. Please use the form below to inquire about your specific dates and needs for your group. Please also let us know if you need financial assistance, as we have a small scholarship fund in an attempt to make this experience possible for all.
We look forward to hosting you!
