What We Do
Welcome to
Heron Rock Retreat – A Healing Place of Hope
A separate residence located in downtown Depoe Bay, has spectacular views of the Depoe Bay harbor and bridge, and the full expanse of the coastal shoreline. This two-story home sleeps four and is beautifully appointed. One-of-a-kind works of art, curated by Talley from her Silver Heron Gallery and from artists all over the world, adorn every room. One the home’s most unique features is the Sunstone wall installation made of raw Suntones picked by Wade from the Woodmark family’s Ponderosa Oregon Sunstone Mine.

A Second Sanctuary
Heron Rock Retreat
Created in response to growing need, Wade’s House II offers a second space of comfort and reflection just steps from the original home. Thoughtfully designed with the same love and intention, this retreat includes a cozy living area, serene bedrooms, and calming views of the Oregon coast.
Families staying here can enjoy the same access to nature, harbor walks, and nearby whale watching — all while surrounded by the quiet beauty that makes Depoe Bay such a powerful place for healing.
Like the original home, Wade’s House II is offered at no cost to families who have experienced the loss of a child. It is a continuation of Wade’s legacy — providing room to breathe, remember, and begin again.
