Quiet House

Quiet House reservations are $150 per night.

Final payment is due prior to arrival. A nonrefundable $100 deposit is required to secure your reservation.

Unless otherwise arranged, check-in is from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the first day of your stay. We’ll ask you to share an estimated arrival time during registration — if that changes, please let us know.

Check-out is no later than 1:00 p.m. on your last day.

Significant, unanticipated delays may require forfeiture of your first night’s stay.

The Quiet House is self-catered; guests are responsible for providing and preparing their own food.

The kitchen includes an oven, stove, microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot, dishes, utensils, and basic provisions such as coffee, tea, sugar, salt, and paper goods.

The Quiet House offers no wifi, no cell reception, and no phone. This is part of its gift, an invitation into a few days apart from the noise. Should you need help, a two-way radio in the house will connect you directly to an on-call staff member.

The Quiet House is set apart for the quiet of a single retreat — one adult guest, or a couple, seeking uninterrupted space. Please do not bring children to the Quiet House.

The hiking trails are yours to enjoy throughout your stay. We do ask that you leave other facilities and campsites undisturbed, and that any time at the Laity Lodge waterfront be arranged with us beforehand.

If you require a registered service animal, they are welcome to accompany you (please be in touch with us about details). We ask that all other pets remain at home.

For the safety and comfort of all guests, please do not bring firearms to the Canyon.

If you smoke, we kindly ask that you refrain from doing so inside or on porches. Fire is a risk in the Canyon, so please be careful.

We understand plans change. Should you need to cancel your reservation, please call us at 830-315-9230.

If you need to cancel more than 14 days before your visit, we’ll refund your payment in full, less the $100 deposit. Within 14 days of your scheduled retreat, we’re unable to offer a refund — though we’re glad to consider exceptions for medical emergencies or other circumstances beyond your control.

The Quiet House is comfortable and well equipped, but a little preparation will help you enjoy your time in the Canyon.

We recommend bringing:

• Comfortable, casual clothes for your stay
• Sturdy walking or hiking shoes
• A swimsuit if you hope to spend time at the river
• Seasonal layers and rain gear, depending on the forecast
• A hat and sunglasses
• A refillable water bottle
• Personal toiletries and medications
• Groceries and any food you would like during your stay
• A journal, Bible, or other personal reading if there are particular things you hope to have with you

You may also want to bring a small daypack for hiking.

Because the Quiet House has no cell reception or Wi-Fi, we encourage you to download anything you may need before entering the Canyon—or, consider allowing your devices to rest along with you.

We want you to be able to pack simply. You’ll find many of the basics already waiting for you, including:

• Bedding, bath linens, and towels
• Binoculars and field guides for enjoying the birds and wildlife around the house
• Sunscreen
• Bug spray
• A selection of books for reading and reflection
• Basic paper goods
• Coffee, tea, sugar, and salt
• Dishes, cookware, and utensils

The kitchen also includes a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, and coffee maker.
