In the summer of 1938, a one-room log cabin with chapel was built and since that time, there have been several additions.  It has been the home for more than eleven different families.  Although originally used as a retreat master's cabin and even considered as a convent site, it is now used to house the Shrine caretakers.  It contains five bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, family room 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 and provide a multitude of services for the visiting pilgrims.
