Forest Haven is a small, Christian retreat located in the wooded and rural hills of Bradford, NH. We offer a quiet apartment with private entrance for full-time and bi-vocational Christian pastors, parachurch staff,  church staff, missionaries, and their spouses who seek a place for retreat, prayer, rest, study and even vacation.  There are no fees, although donations are welcome. The maximum stay is two weeks. One day (9 to 5) guests are welcome, depending on availability.

 

The apartment is cut off from the rest of the house, so it is quiet. It consists of a full kitchen, a living room, a bedroom (with queen-size bed) and a bathroom (with shower-bath). We've also gone out of our way to furnish it with comfortable furniture!

 

 Sorry, but given our rural location, we are not handicapped accessible. As to children. . . We love them, but we are not at all set up for them! Likewise, we find that their presence distracts  parents from their reason for being here, which is for spiritual and physical renewal.

 

If you have children who need to accompany you on your time away, we suggest (and recommend) that you contact nearby Camp Sentinel about their "Pastors' Sanctuary" (Tuftonboro, NH) or Fairhaven Ministries (Roan Mountain, TN). Other possibilities can be found on the Care Givers Forum website.
