Oasis of Rest
Where can Christian leaders get help? You face mounting pressures in your churches and our culture. You are called to lead others. But where do you go for help if you are facing burnout, struggles, or transitions?
We offer Christian leadership coaching at our quaint cottage in Wake Forest, NC in the context of authentic hospitality. Christian leaders, book your personalized retreat at our home.
Oak Tree Cottage is a fully subsidized ministry of Oasis Rest International.
Meet Your Hosts
Welcome to Oak Tree Cottage! We never greet our guests without first introducing ourselves. So let me start with a warm welcome. My name is Marny, and I am one of the hosts of Oak Tree Cottage B & B.
Andreas and I want to give you the insider’s scoop on your expectations when staying with us. We are certified Christian leadership coaches (CCLC+) with years of experience training leaders for ministry.
We are also associated certified coaches (ACC) credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). If you are interested in a coaching session, you can sign up at oaktreecoaching.net.
We are committed to nurturing men and women in ministry effectiveness for the long haul.
Oak Tree Cottage
Oak Tree Cottage is a haven of comfort and culinary delight. The Oak Tree Cottage experience is an opportunity for Christian leaders to enjoy rest and encouragement with optional leadership coaching. Your relaxation is our number one priority.
Quality comfort, family atmosphere. We want to share our home with you. Book with us and discover our exceptional hospitality, delicious food, and home-away-from-home comfort. We look forward to meeting you!
Lodging
We seek to be leaders in meaningful Christian hospitality. The primary guestroom is the original master bedroom with private bath, high-speed internet, central heating and air conditioning for your privacy and comfort.
Our first-floor library is a private sitting room just for you, situated directly across from the guestroom, full of books and board games for you to enjoy during your stay.
The cozy front porch and large back deck are great places to take in the peaceful atmosphere of small-town Wake Forest and to sip a tasty beverage.
Food and Drink
Enjoy a full breakfast every morning of your stay, including fresh fruit, a hot entree, juices, and steaming coffee, tea, or cocoa. Our guests can also enjoy an intimate and elevated evening meal as well.
With individually-curated menus based on your needs, our well-appointed private dining room is the perfect place to relax, enjoy fine food, and get to know your hosts.
Optional afternoon tea and coffee, as well as picnics-to-go for afternoon excursions are all part of our offerings.
Excursions
Take your picnic-to-go and explore Purple Bloomers Lavender Farm, “a small farm in Lillington, NC with a passion for growing all things beautiful and enjoyable.” Take a stroll at nearby Horse Shoe Farm, “a jewel along the Neuse River; a place of great natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and rich heritage.” Experience historic downtown Wake Forest, “quaint, walkable, and full of friendly, small-town appeal.” Explore Raleigh, North Carolina’s capital, and savor festivals, dining, and museums.
