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.

The best youth retreat spot

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.

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.

Relaxing getaway for groups

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!

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!

Lovely softball weekend

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.

Great winter retreat

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!
