Let's Get Acquainted
Our hope at Hur House is to provide a place for missionaries, pastors, ministry leaders and their families, to find rest, renewal, restoration, and encouragement.
Hur House offers a casual, peaceful atmosphere for physical, mental and spiritual refreshment. In this quiet retreat, we invite you to rejuvenate your relationship with God and family, renew your passion for ministry, and restore the broken or tired places. Our prayer is for each person who visits to be refreshed, gaining new hope, strength, and perspective to return to their place of service with renewed vigor and encouragement.
Accommodations
Situated on 8.5 peaceful acres in Athens, Alabama, Hur House is your “Home Away From Home.” We offer queen size beds in each of the five newly renovated bedrooms, two baths, washer & dryer, den and fully equipped kitchen. Whether it is for one night, or up to a week, enjoy your stay with a welcome meal, snacks and local cuisine in comfortable accommodations.
Feeling Called to Give?
Our aim is simple yet profound: to provide a refuge for missionaries, pastors, and those in Christian leadership. We can make this vision a reality together, and your support would be invaluable in allowing us to continue this work.

Reviews
“Beth and I served as missionaries in Mexico with Paul and Hope, and we came to love them there. Since leaving the field, we have been pastoring a Hispanic fellowship in northern Indiana, and it has been our privilege to be the recipients of Hope's gracious hospitality and be refreshed many times in the last several years. Our most recent visit was when Hur House was just open. We were once again encouraged and refreshed in body and soul. We highly recommend them to you. ” -Pete and Beth Gross
