Our New Off-Grid Adventure
After years of dreaming, planning, and a whole lot of hard work, Lorie and I are thrilled to share the next chapter in our lives with you.
We are now the proud owners and operators of a 30-acre, tech-free, solar and geothermal powered, off-grid AirBnB homestead retreat—a space where serenity, nature, and meaningful connection take center stage. We are now able to share with you what God has graciously shared with us: peace, beauty, and the kind of stillness that heals
Tucked away from the constant buzz of modern life, our property is designed to help guests reflect, refresh, recharge, and reinvigorate their lives and reconnect with what truly matters. Here, there are no phones ringing, no endless emails to check, and no screens demanding your attention. Instead, you’ll find real conversation, wide-open skies, peaceful trails, and perhaps a visit to a few charming local establishments nearby.
A Place to Breathe
Sip a hot cup of coffee, tea, or cider in the sunroom—or wind down in the evening with a glass of wine from the coffee and wine bar. Watch the sun dip behind the ponds as Scottish Highland cattle graze nearby and let real conversations flow as new friendships are born.
Guests are welcome to take their dogs alongside them on the peaceful walking trails. End the day around a bonfire or one of the fire rings scattered across the property. From Indigo Buntings and Meadowlarks by day to owl calls by night, there’s a rhythm here that invites you to slow down and simply be. Stay up late to stargaze under moonlit skies, as fireflies glisten over the meadow like dancing diamonds. Or rise early for a private sunrise that feels like it was painted just for you.
We’ve created a space for both relaxation and inspiration.
Guests enjoy private entry on guest level with convenient gravel parking, no stairs. Each suite includes a private deck overlooking the ponds and pasture. While you’re here, feel free to enjoy the balance of the home, including the shared kitchen, sunroom, and inviting common areas.
