The guest house is a 1700 square foot fully-furnished home and designed to provide a peaceful place to rest and have fun. There is a master suite with a queen-sized bed, as well as two additional bedrooms and a second full bath with a tub. The open kitchen, dining, and living room with a wood-burning stove allow for conversations and family meals.

OUR HISTORY

In 1993, Julie began serving full-time in missions through sports ministry. After serving alongside missionaries around the world for 28 years and seeing their labor of love in making apprentices of Jesus, a dream was dropped into her heart in July of 2020. This dream included serving these frontline workers and their families by providing a private home on some acreage in beautiful Colorado as a place for respite. God provided such a place in the Spring of 2022, and she began laying the groundwork for their first guests to arrive in July.
