Chuck and Melissa are extremely accommodating and helpful. We've stayed multiple times at Sunset Ridge and any time we've needed anything they respond quickly and address whatever is needed. The house is always clean when we arrive and well stocked with clean linens and towels. The grounds and surrounding area are well kept and quiet.
Good space! Great property. The only weird thing was that one room is only accessible from an exterior door, but it was all nice! The gathering space/game room was great!
Sunset Ridge is perfect for a teen or youth retreat. The cooks in our group really loved the kitchen. We had 17 in our group and we stayed 2 nights. There was plenty of space for all the activities we planned. Being geared toward youth, the bedrooms have the "camp" feel including camp-type mattresses. We didn't spend much time outside so we didn't explore everything but the kids found the basketball court and played out there a while. The kids loved the ping pong and the mile-long couch was great for watching TV.
Our family really enjoyed our stay at Sunset Ridge, lots of room, well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and the pool was amazing. Chuck and Melissa were great hosts.
We had a wonderful time! The property was perfect for our group and the owners were quick to respond to any questions we had. We will probably be back!
We returned for the 4th year in a row with a church group of teenagers. So many beds, plenty of outdoor space, indoor common areas for games and meetings.
Beautiful place and plenty of room for our group. The hang out spaces were great.
(Lots of wasp/bees around, so bring some bug spray)
We were very happy with our stay
Our group had a great time staying at the property. Host kept in contact and even stopped by to help us get the fire on in the fireplace the first morning.
We’re a group of 15-18 women who come stay every February for a long weekend of yoga. Chuck and Melissa go out of their way to make our stay comfortable. This was our 4th year at Sunset Ridge and we plan on many more!
Great house and location for our four families (12 people) to converge on. House was big enough for all of us and had plenty for us to do. Grands were great with terrific view
This is the third time that we have rented this property for our ladies retreat, and all three times it has been a wonderful experience. The property owners could not be nicer people and the home and amenities are top-notch!
This is our second time staying here. It is the perfect place for our guys youth retreat. Plenty of room and beds. The kitchen and eating space is big enough for everyone. The teens love the hang out space and games that are available. We loved it!
Great property! Very well stocked- lots of bedding and blankets as well as kitchen supplies. The house was very cold throughout our stay and there was no heating system that we could find but we kept warm with all the provided blankets. We loved our stay and plan to bring a group back again!

Hi Stephen,
Thank you for being great guests! I am so sorry you were not warm enough. We definitely could have turned up the heat. We have central heat and air. We will do a better job of checking on you if you come back and make sure the temperature is more to your liking.
Sunset Ridge is a beautiful, quiet place to have a church youth retreat. This is our second time here - the first time was in the winter. This year we wanted to be able to swim and kayak so we scheduled it for summer time. We had a great time! Perfect fit for our group!
Great place for family gatherings, plenty of beds ,bedrooms , bathrooms, gathering rooms . The host are great, and we were surprised to find the driveway is now cement in the lower step grade area .
For our family of 6 adults and 12 children, this was a great location and we would definitely consider returning. The host was prompt and very helpful with our questions, the hiking in the area is perfect for all ages, and our boys loved the fishing opportunities. Thank you for such a fun week!
We had 22 teens and adults stay here. We had a lovely time. All of our meals were able to be cooked, they had a slow cooker and blackstone. It was clean, easy to leave for when we checked out, and we had a slight inconvenience with septic, but they came over and took care of it right away. Would highly recommend.
This location was perfect for our church's annual youth retreat. Plenty of beds, room around the dining tables, seating for everyone for group activities, and room to spread out and play games. Ideal for a youth retreat! The kitchen was roomy with 2 full size fridges so we had plenty of room for food storage, prep, and serving. It was in a quiet and peaceful setting. We hope to come back next year!

Why they chose this property
We bought Sunset Ridge in 2018 and have renovated it to accommodate groups. It is in a beautiful location, next to Pigeon Mountain Crossing, our larger Retreat.The two combined can host groups with up to 120 guests so it was a perfect addition.
