Take a Virtual Tour of IHE's New Guesthouse

At this year's student residency, IHE debuted our new guesthouse, which is tucked into a stand of woods on our beautiful campus, and just a short hop to the main building. Architect, IHE student, and humane educator, Nielsen Van Duijn, used a variety of used, recycled, and salvaged materials to transform an old barn into a simple but comfortable place for students and workshop participants to enjoy.

The guesthouse includes separate men's and women's rooms, as well as a living room, kitchen, and bathroom. A side door leads to the newly-constructed Forest Trail, which takes students on a breathtaking path down to the ocean.

Residency students who stayed there said it was a wonderful experience:

"I loved the camaraderie and opportunity to share with others who stayed in the guesthouse. It was also lovely and comfortable." ~ Petra P., Michigan

"I loved the shower! And I loved that it really, truly felt like anyone can build a home. It gives me hope that through the use of recycled materials and community, a very spacious and humble home can be made out of love." ~ Leslie  B., Maine

"It was great for so many reasons, not the least of which was how much I loved being on this land and being in such close proximity to residency. I loved the fun and community, and it allowed for extra time together and a deeper connection." ~ Amary T., Oregon
