I recently attended a retreat at Rainbow Hearth, and it was a transformative experience. Mariah, the founder, exudes a nurturing and safe energy, making her feel like a grandmother figure. Her genuine care and wisdom were instrumental in my healing process.
I arrived feeling burnt out and disconnected from my higher purpose, but the serene and peaceful grounds of Rainbow Hearth provided the perfect environment for rejuvenation. The nourishing meals were a highlight, supporting both physical and spiritual well-being.
By the end of my stay, I felt hopeful for the future and more connected to myself and my higher power. Rainbow Hearth is a sanctuary of healing and reflection, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking renewal and growth.

We have visited Rainbow Hearth 3 times since 2022 and we will be coming back as often as we can. Mariah is amazing and provides the space and to rest, relax and unwind from busy schedules. We highly recommend a massage and staying at least three days to really absorb the full benefits of being nourished and rested. I am gluten free and non dairy and I have not had any issues with the food Mariah prepares because she personally takes an individual interest in each guest’s needs. It is such a comfort to know that I can eat and NOT have any digestive issues while I rest. Another plus is we are able to bring our dogs instead of having to board them or find pet care. Our dogs are very well behaved and they are a joy to have with us. I would recommend finding other plans for your pups if they are lively or not well trained because this is a place for rest and not dog training. The other guests will thank you for keeping this a peaceful location as it is intended to be. We also got to snuggle with Mariah’s sweet pup Bella, who is just a lovely little soul that just adds to the charm of Rainbow Hearth.
Rooms: We have stayed in the Treehouse Yurt and the Blue Heron rooms. When we have our dogs with us we prefer the Blue Heron because we have easy access to the kitchen. The Treehouse Yurt was romantic when we visited for our anniversary.
Nearby activities: We have hiked in the Canyon of the Eagles several times, which is a short drive from Rainbow Hearth. Smaller hikes are available on property.
Walkability: This is an excellent location to hike around as it is located on a hill.
Food & drinks: Mariah is excellent about providing food for those with sensitivities. There is something about home cooked meals that just make you relax even more. There is always plenty to eat and you will not leave hungry.

For three days I got to leave the stress behind and just BE. Mariah made sure everything was just what I needed. The silence, the woods, the healthy food, and nothing at all needing me to do it! I fell in love with Mariah's lap dog, Bella, and had a few very illuminating conversations with gems of wisdom from Mariah. Thank you!

I have been coming to Rainbow Hearth since 2006 when I came for a solo "stressed to the max retreat". My stay was about a week long and I received excellent care and service and fell in love with the place and the owners. We come here every year for our anniversary and I tell all my clients about this place especially when they need a get a way for some peace and relaxation. Thank you Mariah for crating this place and for all your love over the years! I can't believe that I haven't written you a review in all these years. You know that we love you and we will see you in a few months again! Big hugs, Dr. Jackie

This place is magical, beautiful, special! I loved staying there. It helped me recharge and find hope. I received two massages from Mariah (who is absolutely delightful, and so knowledgable). The food was delicious and helped me feel full and healthy. This place is great to go with your friends, your spouse, and even by yourself! You will not regret it. Thank you Mariah for being so gracious and kind to me.

Enjoyed my stay with Mariah. If you're looking to get away and escape this is the place. Beautiful lake views and hiking. If you don't plan on eating there, the closest place to get food is about 20 mins away and is cash only. It was a great escape from life and the view in the sunset guest house was beautiful! I'd love to go back with my husband!Walkability: Very steep hills and uneven paths

Best couples retreat place ever. My wife and I had the most relaxing time. Great food, great host, beautiful scenery. If you are wanting to de-stress, enjoy nature, and get the best massage of your life, then look no further. Mariah is a real treasure and she has created the best atmosphere you can imagine. Bella (photo) is one of the sweetest dogs ever and loved going on hikes with us. Also, Medicine Rock (photo) is a very special place. This was the first of many trips for us to this enchanted sanctuary.

Family gathering for the weekend was very satisfying. We were well prepared for the experience as the website and communications were well designed and delivered. I have had the privilege of visiting several B&B over the past few years and I believe our visit with Rainbow Hearth was the most exceptional. The facility location and design will provide opportunity to exercise muscles you may not have even realized you pocess. This is as close to a Natural retreat as I have ever experienced without backwoods camping. Meals served were very tasty, I recommend you try the omelet for breakfast. Our group included a limited mobility guest and Mariah was exceptionably accommodating. We always enjoy the ability to vacation with our four legged family members, not always easy to find a location that will allow this so thank you so much Mariah! Massage was requested for one of the family members who found the experience satisfying as well as enlightening as Mariah located knots of pressure before unknown.Tips for visitors:1. This is a Sanctuary & Retreat - Entertainment can be very easily located; we enjoyed many hikes and the views are spectacular. We played games for hours in the dining room. We did not miss the televisions. If you wish to exercise your own mental capacity and simply relax, visit Rainbow Hearth. The architecture of the facility and library can also provide mental exercise, a great variety. If you wish to be pampered, I would suggest locating resort that specializes in this activity.2. There is refrigeration available for those with medical needs, limited space. A simple discussion with Mariah will provide solutions. We brought our own coolers as well.3. I shared the meal plan with our guest prior to our stay, if you have picky eaters you may need to find other sources. I can say with all our picky eaters, no one was left hungry after a meal. Meals were well prepared, quite tasty and I had no doubts that we were fed Healthy meals.4. After reading a couple of the negative reviews I want to add something here. I found Mariah to be an intelligent, no nonsense hostess. I felt that she was pleasant to converse with and active listening to be a key skill to exercise. My experience is that she will help you find solutions to your Needs for the stay if properly presented.Rooms were very clean, orderly and provided for all our needs. Beds were "Sleep Number" and therefore adjustable to most sleeper requirements.

I highly recommend it especially if you want to relax.You must check this place out!

Cute and quaint. Bring your own food (Takeout, no kitchenette or cooking tools available) and plan your entertainment ahead of time. Unless you are newlyweds you will struggle to find things to do in this neck of the woods. Don't plan on eating here, it's not what you are looking for.
