COVID-19 Update:
Our guest spaces are currently closed to the public during the COVID-19 Pandemic. We will re-evaluate at the end of April. Please self-isolate & take good care of yourself & one another during this time. We are all in this together.
House of Paul is the main building of Center For Lost Arts. The house serves as a residence as well as being used for meditation, mindfulness, yoga & art​ retreats.

Eva's Roost is a zen-style cottage nestled in the hillside overlooking the pond & forest - a perfect space for retreating & reconnecting with nature.  

Tiny House of Paul is a newly built tiny home designed & built by Paul, with many of his signature touches.
