Shrine Caretaker’s House

In the summer of 1938, a one-room log cabin with chapel was built on this site. In time, it was to see new additions, and be the home for more than fourteen different families, a couple dozen children, and an assortment of pets, toys, and tools. Although originally used as a retreat master’s cabin, and even considered as a convent site (with its own private chapel), it is now used to house the Shrine caretakers. It contains 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, family room, barhrooms, and an enclosed porch. The caretakers reside on-site year round, and are often gifted with spectacular views and unusual experiences. In addition to maintaining the buildings and
grounds and caring for those coming for retreats and weddings, they meet worldwide visitors, exercise the gift of hospitality, and provide a multitude of services for the visiting pilgrims while maintaining a protective vigilance over these Sacred Grounds.
