Peace of Heaven's Lake of Shining Waters provides
4-season recreational
enjoyment for people of all
ages and interests. Listen to
the lapping of the water
flowing into the lake while
you read your favorite new
book from the Guest House library. Have your camera
ready for your next award
winning shot as you wait for
a resident Canadian goose
to introduce her newest
brood. Be still and you might
get a shot at a trophy buck or resident elk taking a drink
from
the cool mountain
spring. Be inspired to mount
up with wings as eagles as
you
watch a soaring eagle
dip down to get a bird's eye
view of the lake's fishing
potential. Grab your pole and
try your own luck. The fire pit
is ready to
prepare your
catch of the day. Mount your sled, take a deep breath, and
hold on. Whatever your
interests, the Lake of Shining Water beckons you to come,
be still and reflect on the
beauty of God's Creation.

every breath of life...if rippling creeks and clear, still lakes fill your spirit and flood you
with peace ....

quiet spots to
reflect
or nooks to explore, Peace of Heaven is a place to be at rest.
Horse Back Riding
The trails are endless. The views are unbelievable. If you like to ride,

Wildlife Viewing
Abundant wildlife inhabits the Idaho Ranch. From
stately bucks and graceful does,
to friendly hummingbirds and majestic bald eagles, Peace of Heaven is a
safe
haven for all of God's creation.
Woodworking
The
Carpenter's Shop is where many of our heirloom Mount N Treasures have been designed and
created.
It has also been a refuge for many visiting shepherds needing a place to
build something with their hands.
Work centers are set up with everything you need to design and build your
own Mount N Treasures.
If you can imagine it, you can probably find what you need to build it in
the Carpenter's Shop.
A visit to the Carpenter's Shop is sometimes
exactly what a weary soul needs...
