Jubilee Cabin - Rental
Information
This log building, located south of Shrine Creek on Jubilee Hill, was constructed in the Great Jubilee Year, 2000. A Jubilee Year, as found in Sacred Scripture, calls one to come to know more deeply the great love that the Creator has for each of God's children. Found in Leviticus, Chapter 25 of the Old Testament, reference is made to celebrating the Jubilee Year with a call of forgiving debts, freeing captives and prisoners, and restoring justice. In Chapter 4 of Luke's Gospel, Jesus picked up the Jubilee theme in his inaugural speech when he stood up and read the Scroll from Isaiah. The Jubilee Cabin, then, is a place to come to for building relationships with God and humankind, whether that is with one's family, friends, church or business associates. This Cabin, constructed out of 13 inch diameter logs shipped in from Prince George , B.C., Canada , was the first new retreat building to be erected at the Shrine since the initial building phase of the 1930's. This modern and comfortable two bathroom four bedroom facility is ADA (handicap) compliant on the first floor. Three bedrooms are upstairs as well as one of the bathrooms. The lower floor has a bedroom, a fine kitchen and a gather/living room with a majestic view of the Inside Passage and Shrine Island . Being the second largest of the Shrine retreat facilities, it can accommodate thirteen persons in beds, and through the use of additional twin size mattresses and sofa, twenty can be slept for short periods of time. Individuals or groups who follow the Shrine Mission Statement are invited to inquire about reserving the Shrine Jubilee Cabin.
