Hidden Lake Retreat

Hidden Lake Retreat is dedicated to the awakening of the human spirit by providing a place for deep relaxation, reflection and rejuvenation.

This intimate seven-acre retreat lies nestled in rural forest land on a small beautiful lake in Oregon's Cascade foothills. The original lodge was built in 1912, and was lovingly renovated and expanded by the innkeepers, Dr. Lauri Shainsky and Judith Crop, in 2005. Guest rooms retain their rustic cabin feel while the rest of the house envelopes you in classic craftsman country charm.

A vast variety of wildlife and the sound of Hidden Lake's cascading water add to the peace and vibrancy of this very special retreat.

Hidden Lake Retreat is the ideal place for small groups, personal retreats, workshops, gatherings, ceremonies and alternative healing work.

Shainsky and Crop offer a variety of healing services that you can enjoy while on retreat or just for the day. Crop offers spiritual counseling and facilitates family constellation work. Shainsky provides shamanic healing, sound healing and Reiki, as well as training in shamanism, sound healing and ecology.

The serenity of the lake, the beautifully wooded grounds, wonderful food and cozy accommodations all support transformation of mind, body and spirit. Delight in discovering special touches, such as the holly orchard, tipi and sweat lodge. Hidden Lake Retreat creates a feeling of being home, cherished and nurtured.
