CLERGY & SOLO RENEWAL

The Jubilee

Set apart in a private stand of woods, The Jubilee is built for the shepherd who has poured out and needs to be refilled. A study desk by the window, a porch facing the trees, scripture on the shelf, and silence everywhere else. Come for a night or a week of Sabbath rest, sermon preparation, fasting, or simply sleep. The Lord restores the souls of those who feed His sheep.

COURPLES RETREAT · NAKED & UNASHMED

The Secret Garden

A sanctuary for two, designed for intimacy, healing, and covenant renewal. Soaking tub, fireplace, private garden walk, and guided Eden Restored materials in the cabin. “Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame” (Genesis 2:25, NLT). Marriages come here to remember why they began and to begin again.

HERITAGE & HEALING

Sankofa

Named for the Akan word that means “go back and fetch it,” this cabin welcomes descendants and heritage seekers returning to reclaim what was left behind. Genealogy resources, oral-history prompts, and walking maps of the historic grounds are part of the stay. Come trace your names. The ground remembers them.

PRAYER & FASTING

The Watchtower

The most secluded cabin in the village. No television, no noise, no distraction, just prayer, fasting, scripture, and the trees. For intercessors, seekers, and anyone who needs to hear the still small voice above every other voice.

The Woods Cathedral

An open-air clearing among the Kentucky pines, where the trees are the columns and the sky is the dome.

FAMILY REUNIONS

Bring your family home.

Mount Gilead was made for the long table and the porch chair. Gather your people on land that remembers, lodge sleeping for 16–24, outdoor gathering grounds, catering and shared meals, Sunday service in the Heritage Chapel, activities for every age, and quiet cabins for the elders. Reunions here root the next generation.
