A first of its kind, the fully accessible respite lodge welcomes families-in-need (133 to date) that have a family member (parent or child) who lives with a disability and offers them the opportunity to take a break from it all, together. Individuals with more severe disabilities (for whom hotels are not sufficiently accessible) are the priority. Using a social enterprise model, the lodge is available in the downtime for paid corporate/non-profit retreats, allowing families to stay at the lodge for free.
