About the host

Hosted by Jim and Robin Hentges

Host profile image
We have always enjoyed serving people. Since 1979 when we were first married and had our first Christmas Party, in a 20' x. 20' cabin that we rehabbed (before that was even a thing...) and had to entertain our guests in shifts, because the space was so tight.
Today we have much more space to accommodate our friends, and our incredible family has grown, but our hearts are still focused on helping people to feel comfortable and enjoy the relationships and beauty around them. Many times, slowing down to enjoy some peace and quiet, reveals the blessing!
We look forward to sharing our little piece of heaven with you.
