This spacious room is the foundation of the Chalet. Leadership retreats and discipleship sessions are perfectly accommodated in this space. A screen can be pulled down and the chairs re-arranged in the dining room for sessions and presentations. The full kitchen features a tiled serving bar extending into the dining room that has two family-style dining tables and sixteen chairs. The leather sofas gathered around a gas fireplace are the perfect place to retire after a meal.
The Great Room is often a central part of Chalet rentals. For this reason, we do not take weekend day use bookings for the Great Room earlier than two weeks before the desired reservation date. Full day and half day rates are available.
$250 for a full day / $150 for a half day / $350 for a Saturday or SundayClick Here for photos

The Rooftop Chapel is located on the topmost floor of our chalet, nestled up in the trees. This attic room is designed for listening and stillness for either individuals or groups of up to six people. There is a small washroom for your convenience and a small balcony where you can enjoy a sunset.
The Rooftop Chapel is user-maintained and user-funded for individuals. We want to keep this space available free of charge so that anyone, no matter their financial situation has access to a space of prayer, solitude, and rest. We ask you to give what you can, within your means, to support the continued upkeep and care of this space.
Individuals: By donation
Groups: $50 / day
*Overnight guests are welcome to use the Rooftop Chapel on a drop-in basis during their stay. Check the schedule of bookings posted on the door to see when it is available.

Grounds
Step outside your door to experience the beauty of the grounds here at our chalet. There are many peaceful places to reflect and enjoy God through nature. On the property itself, there are several seating areas and benches scattered throughout. A walking labyrinth has been built for a peaceful walk of trust.
Our chalet is conveniently located on the main bus route for the City of Abbotsford. This route also goes to the City of Mission. Coffee shops and grocery stores are within walking distance, as is the beautiful park of Fishtrap Creek. Find more information on each within the Guest Information book located in your room.
Fishtrap Creek
This incredible park is just a few minutes walk from the chalet. Head down the hill from Old Yale Road and you’ll discover the entrance to this nature trail. Quiet and peaceful, this nature haven perfectly complements your retreat of rest and reflection. The stillness of the water, the various benches scattered about, the playfulness of birds and other wildlife in the region enhance your rest in your Creator.
The Discovery Trail of Abbotsford, an extensive trail that cuts across the city of Abbotsford, connects into Fishtrap. You may also wish to spend some time exploring this fun trail.
