  We are trying to make it very affordable, as well as supplying beautiful accommodations, to gather for a Christian Retreat.

We serve a Risen Lord!

 

"As for us, we will serve the Lord and His name is Jesus Christ, not our higher power, universal force, or something else.  Our Lord's name is Jesus." 

The "Afternoon Tea Room" at the Main House of the B&B will accommodate up to 24 or more people, with tables which seat 2 - 4 per table.  Additional chairs could also be added in this room.  There are "break-away areas" for small group discussions, which include the breakfast nook, the dining room, the living room, and the room adjacent to the Afternoon Tea Room.

Each property has central air conditioning, fully-equipped kitchens, beautiful yards, nice linens, pretty dishes, and many other special details -- and each house is decorated with antiques to suit the age and style of the house.  We really hope you'll enjoy staying in one or more of our houses.

Call Carolyn to try to work out just the right accommodations for your group.

Would you like to have breakfast included or do you prefer to book the entire B&B and have use of the kitchen?  We'll help you figure out the best choice for your group.  We can come and prepare breakfast for you at an additional charge (if you decide to book at the lower rate for the entire house).

   Our aim is to also provide an opportunity for single travelers, as well as couples, to come and enjoy rest and solace in a safe comfortable Christian environment at the B&B.  We also offer both double occupancy and single occupancy rates.

We are trying to make it very affordable for someone to spend a week or even longer and have all the amenities of the B&B, if they so choose:

Policies Regarding Security Deposits and Reservation Deposits:

Security deposits are required when you stay in Vacation Rental Houses. Your security deposit will be returned to you post-departure, following a satisfactory inspection by Amanda, our housekeeper.

If booking an advance reservation in only one of our houses, we need at least a 50% deposit.  If cancelling your reservation, you must do so at least 1 month prior to your stay in order to receive a refund for your deposit.  When you arrive, payment in cash is greatly appreciated to help us keep our costs down, but we can accept credit cards if you prefer to pay with one.  There is a service fee associated with credit card usage, however.

For groups booking more than one house, or the Main House of the B&B, we require full payment in advance in order to hold the reservation.  If your group must cancel your reservation, we need at least 3 months notice prior to your stay in order to receive a refund, and then there is no cancellation fee and your payment will be returned. 

Information Regarding "The Farmhouse" and "The Craftsman-Style House" as well as the two suites in "The Town House":

Bring your own food -- you'll have full use of the country kitchen in "The Farmhouse" or the sunny kitchens in both "The Craftsman House" and the B&B Main House.  The Town House Suites each have an updated eat-in kitchen.  Each of our kitchens has everything we could think of to make your stay comfortable, including dishes, cooking pots and pans, microwaves, toasters, blenders, hand mixers, coffee makers, and even more . . . .

All of our kitchens have easy and level access to the back yards for enjoying the property at each house.  There is also a deck (at "The Farmhouse") and a patio (at "The Craftsman") and a beautiful yard with a water garden in the courtyard (at the B&B).  The Town House Suites each have a small covered porch off the kitchen and access to the back yard.

The Town House has two large suites, consisting of several rooms, and each suite has its own kitchen + living/dining room + either 2 or 3 bedrooms + private covered porch.

We will have a lovely fruit bowl waiting for you and lots of choices of tea and coffee.

The Farmhouse has superb well water with an ultra-violet light purifying device, and we also have a Culligan reverse-osmosis water filtering system to supply wonderful-tasting and healthy water!  The Craftsman House and B&B properties have city water.

We supply all your sheets and towels.  We have very comfortable beds and soft linens, plenty of luxurious blankets and pillows, down comforters as well as alternative down comforters, and throws to keep you cozy and comfortable.

~~ fireplaces in the Winter and central air conditioning in the Summer ~~

Catered Dinner Delivered!

Just add $17.00/night + tax per person.

You can have an evening meal delivered consisting of an entree, two side dishes, bread, and dessert from a local catering establishment.  (*See menu below, from The Lunch Basket Catering.)

  

To help us keep our costs down, so that we can offer these special rates for these properties, we would prefer payment by check to be received by us at least 4 weeks prior to your stay.  Otherwise, we'd be grateful if you would pay by cash when you arrive (due to the high cost of credit card fees).  However, we can accept Visa, Master Card, and Discover if you prefer to pay with your credit card.

And when your visit is over, we hope you will have enjoyed a wonderful relaxing time and that you will feel refreshed and renewed, having had an opportunity to draw closer to God.
