Cottage Retreat

Suggested Price: $95 per night

SILENCE. STILLNESS. SOLITUDE.

Nestled in The Layne’s back yard, Soul Care Seattle offers you a stand alone, fully equipped cottage that is available for your use in times of retreat, reflection, or preparation. While on retreat at the cottage, you will also have access to the front and back gardens and the porch areas of the main house. For those who are interesed, retreat materials are provided for your times of prayer and reflection. Spiritual direction (suggested donation of $60 for the hour) is available upon request. What is spiritual direction? CLICK HERE!

The cottage is an intentional space for personal, spiritual and restful retreats. It is not an Airbnb or short term rental.

Filled with light and charm, your cottage welcomes you with a cozy living room complete with a large bay window, writing desk and clean, comfortable furniture. The cottage has a full bath with a tub/shower combination, sleeping area with full size bed, a full kitchen supplied with the basics (drip coffee, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, dishes, utensils, pots & pans, etc.) and an intimate eating area. In order to protect the retreat environment and a return to simplicity, we do not offer TV or sound system. Wi-fi is available.

Should your time of quiet reflection lead you to the outdoors, Volunteer Park, Interlaken Park, Boren Park (scenic overlook), and Lakeview Cemetery are all a short walk away and are wonderful places to pray. The labyrinth at St Mark’s Cathedral and the sanctuary at St Joseph’s are just a couple more blocks away (10-15 min walk).

Suggested Donation: $95 per night
