“But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
OUR STORY
Mercy Mountain Refuge was born out of a deep desire to provide a sanctuary for those who dedicate their lives to ministry. We envisioned a place where friends in ministry could retreat from the demands of their work and find true rest in God’s Presence. Nestled in the serene beauty of Estes Park, Colorado, adjacent to the awe-inspiring Rocky Mountain National Park, MMR is more than just our guesthouse—it’s a labor of love, crafted with care to be a refuge for the weary. Our story is one of faith, hospitality, and a commitment to creating a space where peace and renewal flow freely, allowing our invited guests to leave feeling refreshed and recharged for the journey ahead.
Rest
At Mercy Mountain Refuge, rest is not just encouraged; it’s woven into the very fabric of our retreat. We understand the unique challenges and demands of ministry, and we’ve designed MMR to be a place where the pace slows down, and the burdens of daily life are gently lifted. Here, in the tranquil surroundings of Estes Park, you’ll find the space and quiet needed to truly rest—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
“As we walked into The Refuge we looked at each other and realized we both had tears in our eyes. We have found physical rest, but much more, we have experienced soul rest. Most importantly, we have experienced Jesus’ presence and delight in us!”
This place is such a blessing to our souls, bodies and spirits. Thank you for having the ministry of refreshing tired kingdom workers. We love you so much!”
Reconnect
Our desire is for every guest to leave Mercy Mountain Refuge with a renewed connection to what matters most. Whether serving as a single or married couple it’s spending time in prayer, soaking in the beauty of God’s creation, or enjoying meaningful conversations, MMR provides the perfect environment to reconnect with God, with nature, and in your marriage. The serene atmosphere invites you to step away from the noise of the world and draw closer to the heart of God.
“A time away, just husband and wife, to reflect, heal, and gain more restoration was needed. The Refuge allowed for just that. The beauty of this area is phenomenal and caused us to worship. The time together as a couple refreshed our marriage. The rest, comfort and hospitality of this cottage allowed for many hours of reflection and restoration of our souls. Thank you for your care for people like us!”
Recharge
We believe that recharging is essential for anyone who pours out their life in service to others. At Mercy Mountain Refuge, we’ve created a sanctuary where you can be revitalized in every way. From the cozy, well-appointed accommodations to the natural beauty that surrounds our guest cottage, everything at MMR is designed to restore your energy and spirit. By the time you leave, our hope is that you’ll feel refreshed and ready to continue your ministry with renewed strength and vision.
“We never could have imagined such a gift from the Lord; leading us to The Refuge was beyond what we could have asked Him for - exceeding, abundantly above all we could ask or think! Every day we grew to appreciate more, the absence of TV and internet. Thank you for knowing what we needed when we didn’t know! We return to ministry renewed, refreshed and restored. All glory to God. Thank you for blessing us!”
