Perhaps the best thing about staying at Hinton Rural Life Center is your opportunity to pay it forward. In addition to offering place and space to retreat and renew, Hinton is also a mission outreach agency that serves our local rural community. The revenue generated through accommodations helps to fund our Safe and Healthy Home repair ministry, poverty awareness activities, local leadership development, and mental health first aid training — all programs that focus on impacting and improving long-term quality of life in our region. We invite you to experience the hospitality of Hinton Rural Life Center.  Check out our accommodation offerings below, and click the link  for our Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines.
