The Quiet House (Wayfarer’s Cottage)
For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength. Isaiah 30:15
The Quiet House is a contemplative retreat house built in 1978 under the direction of former Laity Lodge director Bill Cody. Located on the H. E. Butt Foundation Camp property, The Quiet House provides an opportunity for silence, stillness, meditation, and prayer for an individual or a married couple.
