Discovering a Secret Haven<br />
Nearly 21 years ago, by chance I turned onto a secret road that changed my<br />
life forever. There nestled into the crook of the mountain was a massive,<br />
old, charmingly inviting rock building. I was captivated. I pulled up to the<br />
building to find a little old and man walking along the front porch. I asked<br />
him who owned the building, he reqlied that he and his wife owned the<br />
property. Without hesitation I asked if I could buy the building. His kind<br />
reply was simple, “I have been waiting for you.” I bought the Rock Loft<br />
from Dale and Margaret Jost, two of the kindest people I have ever met, and<br />
the first of many great relationships to come from being in Fruit Heights. I<br />
was not in the market to buy a building nor had I intented to start a business,<br />
but fate and the indescribable spirit of the building had other plans for me.<br />
Mountain Road was the original highway 89, when times were slower and<br />
life simpler. The 1940 Historical Rock building was originally a thriving<br />
cherry processing plant that supplied the Intermountain West with sweet<br />
summer cherries. Many of the residents of Fruits Heights and the surrounding<br />
communities have fond memories of the Rock Loft. The original charm<br />
and history are evident in the building.<br />
There are four business’ within the Rock Loft. The Bun Basket, a delicious<br />
bakery and great place to eat lunch, the Canyon Gallery, great original art,<br />
prints and framing, McCloud Photography, professional photography with<br />
a personal touch. Then there is SECRET HAVEN and that is just what it is,<br />
a ‘HAVEN’ hidden in the foothills of the maountain. Secret Haven is much<br />
more than a place to shop. Friends gather here, traditions are celebrated,<br />
creativity is in abundance giving customers an opportunity to transform a<br />
house into the precious thing we call home.<br />
The employees of Secret Haven are invaluable and a cherished part of the<br />
spirit of Secret Haven. They faithfully serve the customers and bring a<br />
cheerfulness that foster an atmospher of warmth. Their talent in design is<br />
unmatched. The crew of Secret Haven realize the importance of community.<br />
We have served on many levels, designing and creating a playhouse for<br />
Make-A-Wish, serving the refugees, sub for Santa and collecting food for<br />
the food bank. There is a special feeling within the walls of Secret Haven.<br />
