Our peak season runs through Spring, Summer, and Fall, with weekends being the most in-demand. Weekdays are generally less competitive but still book up steadily.

What are your weekday and weekend minimum requirements?
Our minimum requirement is 25 guests for weekday events and 35 guests for weekend events. Weekend retreats must include both Friday and Saturday nights. Groups with fewer attendees are welcome, but the final invoice will reflect the minimum billing threshold.
Do you require a deposit to hold dates?
Yes. We require a deposit of $500 per night, up to a maximum of $2,500. This deposit is applied toward lowering the final invoice. After making a tentative reservation, groups have two weeks to submit their deposit. Once the deposit is received, your reservation is confirmed and your preferred dates are officially reserved on our calendar.
What is your cancellation or refund policy?
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. If the booking is cancelled outside of 6 months, you lose the deposit. If the booking is cancelled less than 6 months prior to the scheduled retreat, the group agrees to pay $750 per night of the reservation. The existing deposit is deducted from this fee. If the booking is cancelled less than 2 months prior to the scheduled date, the group agrees to pay 90% of the minimum charge.
What is your arrival/departure times?
Our default arrival time is 5:00pm, with dinner served at 6:00pm. On the final day, our default departure time is 2:00pm, following lunch at 12:00pm (Noon). Early arrivals and late departures are available for an additional $50 per hour.
While mealtimes have default schedules, they can be adjusted to meet your group’s needs. We ask that any meal-time preferences be submitted with your final information no later than one week before your retreat begins, so our kitchen has time to plan and order necessary ingredients.

Are linens and towels provided?
Yes. We provide all bedding, pillows, and towels for overnight guests.
Are the facilities accessible for individuals with disabilities?
Yes. Rainbow Lodge offers several accessibility features to support guests with disabilities; however, our building was constructed in 1980 and does not have an elevator, so accessing the second floor may be challenging for some guests.
We provide adapted accessible bathroom and shower stalls on the first floor, and our main first-floor meeting space—located slightly lower than the main level—has a lift to assist guests in and out of the room. In addition, a wheelchair ramp at the rear of the building allows accessible entry to the back of the property.

Are children allowed?
Yes, children are welcome at Rainbow Lodge as long as they are supervised by their group at all times. We do not offer lodging discounts for children or teens, but we do offer food discounts. Children 3 and under eat free, ages 4–12 receive 50% off, and ages 13–16 receive 25% off. Meal discounts are not included in package rates, so food costs can be determined using the à la carte prices provided in your quote and booking agreement after you submit your inquiry form.
Are pets allowed?
No, pets are not permitted at Rainbow Lodge. Trained service animals are welcome. If a guest wishes to request an exception, we review these situations on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us at [email protected] to discuss your specific needs.
Is smoking permitted on the property?
Smoking is not allowed inside any building at Rainbow Lodge. Smoking is also not permitted on the front porch or under the porch awning. Guests who wish to smoke must do so in the parking lot, and all smoking materials must be fully extinguished and disposed of in the designated ash stands/bins. Littering is not permitted.
What is your alcohol policy?
Alcohol is allowed at Rainbow Lodge, but we do not provide alcohol. Groups are welcome to bring their own beverages and may request the use of our wine glasses if needed. Although not required, we recommend that groups obtain any necessary permits and ensure that all alcohol use is responsible and compliant with state laws.
Are meals included with our stay?
Yes. Our packages are all-inclusive, covering both lodging and meals. We serve three meals a day—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—in our dining hall. Hot and cold beverages are available 24 hours a day, including coffee, decaf, tea, orange juice, lemonade, soda/pop, and water. Oatmeal and cereal are available all day, and the dining hall is accessible around the clock, even outside of staffing windows.
We do not provide snacks unless specifically requested. Groups are encouraged to bring their own snacks, and we offer a dedicated counter space and full-size refrigerator reserved specifically for group use, which we clean between retreats.
We can accommodate a wide range of dietary needs, including dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, vegetarian, vegan, fasting, and health-conscious preferences. However, we do not have an allergen-free certified kitchen. While we take care to avoid cross-contact, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. Guests with multiple dietary restrictions or severe or anaphylactic allergies are strongly encouraged to bring their own meals.
Dietary restrictions must be submitted with your group’s final information no later than one week before your retreat begins, so our kitchen has time to plan and order the necessary ingredients. While we can provide a very generic sample menu in advance, actual menus are created 1–2 days before your retreat based on seasonal availability and local variety.

Breakfast: 8:00am- Lunch: 12:00pm (Noon)
- Dinner: 6:00pm
These times can be adjusted based on your group’s needs with advance notice.
Do you accommodate special dietary needs?
Yes. We can accommodate many common dietary needs, including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, nut-free, and other health-conscious preferences. However, our kitchen is not allergen-free certified, and while we take steps to minimize cross-contact, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. For guests with multiple dietary restrictions or severe/anaphylactic allergies, we recommend bringing their own meals. Dietary needs should be submitted at least one week before arrival.
Do your packages include meals? What about outside food?
Yes, our packages include all meals during your stay. Outside food and catering are not permitted, except for snacks that groups may bring.
Can we bring our own food?
Outside catering and group-prepared meals are not allowed, as all meals are provided by our kitchen. However, groups are welcome to bring their own snacks, and we provide dedicated counter space and a full-size refrigerator reserved for group use, which is cleaned between retreats.
Is there a kitchen available for group use?
No. Our kitchen is for staff use only, and groups are not permitted to cook or prepare meals on-site.
Is Wi-Fi available?
Yes. Business-grade high-speed internet and Wi-Fi are available throughout the building and property and are included in all package pricing.
Is there cell phone reception?
Yes, most major carriers receive coverage at the lodge; however, signal strength can vary due to the surrounding tall trees, proximity to Mount Si, and changing weather conditions. Guests typically have reception, but it may not always be consistent in all areas of the property.
Do you have a printer we can use?
Yes. We have a basic printer available for small printing needs. If your group requires large quantities of printing or specialized printing (such as photos or other high-volume jobs), we recommend bringing your own printer. Our printer is available on the lodge’s network, so once connected to Wi-Fi, guests should be able to locate and print directly to the main office printer.
What is your audio/visual capabilities?
Our main meeting space features a large wall-mounted TV that can connect via HDMI or AirPlay for presentations, video conferencing, movies, and music. We provide two wireless microphones, a presenter table/stand/podium, and both microphone and music stands. The room is equipped with multiple wall- and ceiling-mounted speakers to support clear audio for groups of all sizes.
Are audio/visual equipment and supplies available?
Yes. We provide basic A/V equipment for group use, including microphones, speakers, and a large display for presentations.
What activities are available on the property?
Rainbow Lodge sits on 40 acres of forested land with several private, interlooping walking trails. Guests can enjoy a variety of on-site activities, including access to our chapel, bonfire pit, volleyball court, and our solarium (sunroom).

Are there nearby hiking trails?
Yes. Rainbow Lodge offers beginner-friendly private trails on our 40-acre property, with minimal incline and decline—ideal for light walking, reflection, or warm-up hikes. For more advanced hiking, we are located near two of the region’s most popular mountains: Mount Si and Mount Teneriffe, both of which offer well-known, challenging trail systems and beautiful viewpoints.
Is there a quiet or meditative space for guests?
Yes. Rainbow Lodge offers many peaceful indoor and outdoor spaces suitable for quiet reflection and meditation. Guests can make use of our chapel, rock labyrinth, and solarium (sunroom) for contemplative time. Our upstairs common area can also serve as a quiet space; when the shutters are open, it overlooks the main meeting space, and when the shutters are closed, it becomes a separate, more private area. The surrounding forest and trails further provide natural areas for solitude and stillness.
Is there a meeting room or space for group gatherings?
Yes. Rainbow Lodge offers a large main meeting room that can comfortably hold 60+ people for group sessions, presentations, workshops, worship services, and other gatherings. In addition to professional use, the space is also great for fun activities such as movie nights, music sessions, or karaoke-style events. While we do not have a dedicated karaoke machine, we provide wireless microphones, speakers, and access to video platforms like YouTube, which many groups use for sing-alongs or entertainment.
Can we bring in our own instructors?
Yes. Rainbow Lodge only hosts groups and events—we do not facilitate classes or experiences. Groups are expected to bring their own instructors, teachers, presenters, or facilitators to lead their sessions.
Do you offer any planning assistance?
Yes. We provide guidance throughout the planning process, including answering questions, helping you understand our facilities, and coordinating details such as lodging arrangements, meal schedules, and meeting space setup. Our goal is to support your group in preparing for a smooth and successful retreat.
Do you offer guided retreats?
We only provide the space and facilities for your retreat. We do not offer guided programs or facilitated experiences. All teaching, instruction, programming, or spiritual leadership is provided by your group.
Who do I contact if I have questions before my retreat?
If you have questions before your retreat, you can contact our office at [email protected] or call/text 425-888-4181. You may also reply directly within your group self-service portal, and our team will be happy to assist.
How can I reach someone during our stay?
Staff will be available and in the building throughout the day, and the best times to reach us or ask questions are during mealtimes. There are no staff in the building overnight. For emergencies, we recommend calling 911. For non-emergencies, your group leaders may text our Director’s line, which will be provided when your stay begins.
Do you offer transportation or shuttle services?
Rainbow Lodge does not provide transportation or shuttle services. However, guests can reach the lodge using a variety of options.
