You're not dealing with a corporate property manager — Ocie and Diane personally care about your stay.
Every stay helps preserve family land and build a retreat centered on rest, faith, veterans, families, and community.
Be among the first guests to experience our secluded woodland cabin — a peaceful, intentionally simple farm retreat created for rest, reflection, and reconnection.
Check exact rates and available dates on Airbnb, or reach out below with any questions before you book.
No staged photos — this is the actual cabin, tucked into the woods and ready for its guests.
The cabin is currently powered by a generator while permanent electrical service is being developed. We provide clear operating instructions and personal assistance throughout your stay.
Support: Ocie is available to assist throughout your stay, and complete operating details are provided before arrival.
