TOM'S REST was created by Tom's wife Cheryl in an effort to carry out their plans to provide respite for those in need. Tom Edwards worked tirelessly for years to clear this wild recreation space where he planned to live while helping others. Tom suddenly and unexpectedly passed February 2, 2015 while in the process of making his move to Sisters with his High School sweetheart of 45 years. Cheryl continued his passion and their dream to make this a place for those in need as a way to honor the most giving man she ever knew. This process, while overwhelming, has brought some healing and it is our hope to continue that healing for others in need from life's many trials. We continue to use our funds to promote healing in grief and other trials of life. We would appreciate hearing from those that have anything to contribute in way of maintenance and housekeeping, services to provide those in need such as massage or counseling, or any other contributions you are led to give. We are developing a list of volunteers to be called upon when someone in need is referred to us and will keep you informed as things develop. Anyone having a grief, widows/widowers, caregiver, cancer, hospice or other group that would like to have their group listed should message us as well. These respite visits are short getaways to refuel and support individuals during tough times. Those that come to enjoy Tom's Rest will be ministering to those in need through your paid visits here and hopefully, gain some needed respite of your own. We have taken every precaution for distancing and cleanliness with the ever changing Covid policies for your safety and concerns. Most feel they are pretty much 'on their own' in this retreat area with the option for seclusion OR mingling if so desired. My deepest thanks to all who have stood alongside through this journey and continue to do so. May we collectively create TOM'S REST with Tom's intention and the passion he infused in us to carry it through to fulfillment.

Cheryl's land and home are sights to see. She was so accommodating in every way for our group. Her passion for her home and what it offers is reflected in the smallest to the most significant of ways. I wish we could have spent more time here enjoying the wildlife, the wind, the location and the company. If she will have us, we will be back!

Beautiful views

We loved camping on Cheryl’s land! She has great dependable electricity, very clean area, pickleball and volleyball. The views are breathtaking and Cheryl is a warm and friendly host. We will definitely return! Such a gem!

Tom’s Rest

We enjoyed Cheryl’s warm welcome and the lovely setting at Tom’s Rest. The view of the snow-capped mountain peaks is spectacular! We camped in a pop-up trailer and made use of the water and electricity at site 1 and appreciated having the toilet and sink in the shop available a short walk away. Thank you Cheryl!

Incredible Stargazing

Cheryl was amazing! Absolutely gorgeous views especially at sunset. Tons of exploring close by.... but still manages to feel secluded and quiet.
