Tom's Rest Canyon Retreat Center

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.

Horny Hollow Hideaway

Once upon a time, two huge cracks in the earth filled with water. The jagged Crooked River to the east and Deschutes River to the west converge to the north forming a 10,000 acre triangle. Thousands of years later it became Crooked River Ranch. Couched between the canyon walls and two rivers, a small herd of buffalo was then brought in with a lead sire who later became known as “Lord Terrebonne."  But to hear more of the story and the real legend of Horny Hollow Trail, you’ll just have to come in person!Learn more about this land:Socially Distance you and your family while watching stunning sunrises and sunsets. Look out to the cliffs or walk in the sneeze-free-zone under the stone-face to your own private park-like setting. Breathe Nature's fresh air while hiking the property back side or practice yoga on the rocks! Take dinner up in the trails to a private setting with spool table and chairs. Or sit in the lower Adirondack chairs and lookout over the fields while enjoying the evening hour. Pull out the Papasan chairs and put them under the umbrella of huge juniper trees. Nature abounds, the wake up call of a rooster and the bedtime music of the cicadas. If you're lucky deer families trek thru backyard trails. Quails are in abundance and they have the right of way! Take a hike only minutes away to the BLM or 10 minute drive to the famous Steelhead Falls. Want a bigger challenge, Smith Rock is only a 20 minute drive; golfing is nearby.

Step out of your camper or look out your RV. This is your view to the backside of the property. Trails lead to the top of the Rockface.

Adirondack chairs scattered throughout to take a break or just enjoy the view!

For the hearty, once on top, there is even more hiking up to the second rock-face.

Seating or picnic area by one of the big stones.

Shaded viewing area under the limbs of a huge Juniper.

Local mule deer families are frequent visitors.

Heart of Sisters

In the city limits of Sisters. Just a few block walk to parks and downtown Sisters where tourists get trapped. Good for getting close spots for events like Sisters Folk Festival. Couple blocks from the Buckrun Trail head and 15 min drive to Three Creeks Lake. Firepit, Bbq, and grills available for use and can work out deals with the host for prepared meals. I do social media videos on the food I make and if you own a small business and would like to talk about your business on my live streams or make some quick promo videos then that is something we can discuss. Just message me or bring it up on arrival. You can find my youtube channel at youtube.com/@LearnWithDanaris 

Table is shared between both camp sites. 

We got to meet the owner of the property and see his ponds he is growing plants and food in and see his cooking skills with the smoker.
