Prescribe Joy to Seriously Ill Kids and Teens

For Trinity and her family, a stay at The Alexandra Ellis Caring Cabin™ provides a welcome respite from the difficult days spent in treatment at the hospital.

Located on 24 wooded acres near Pacific City, this unique, secluded home is surrounded by a beautiful white sand beach, lakeside fire pit, and a serene, private lake for kayaking, boating, and fishing. The Alexandra Ellis Caring Cabin provides children and teens facing cancer and terminal illnesses that are in treatment in Oregon, along with their families, an extraordinary place to relax and create once-in-a-lifetime memories.
