Bill & Cyndi have worked hard nearly 8 years renovating the house (which serves as their home and the retreat center) and keeping up the property all while continuing to work during the week in Lancaster and staying involved in the lives of their 3 grown and married children and 3 grandsons. The beautiful 100+ acre farm, now called The Ridge, is where they spend their weekends transforming the very plain home of the previous Amish family into a tranquil setting atop a ridge for all who visit. Although the home maintains it's simple nature, it has been updated and decorated to provide a comfortable sleep environment and the addition of a conference room perfectly provides a training area for visiting couples. However, the home does have it's limitations. No guest room has a private bath so please be prepared to share. With only 2 bathrooms currently available for guests (one on the 2nd floor with the bedrooms and one on the main floor), please be patient as you may have to wait your turn for the facilities. Your understanding is appreciated as morning and evening rotations will be necessary for the shared spaces for showering/bathing.
Improvements will continue over time as Bill & Cyndi still have many ideas for the outdoor areas that have not yet come to fruition. We hope you will come back in the future to see the changes that will continue to add to the experience when you visit The Ridge.
Cyndi has enjoyed decorating the rooms with a farm animal theme and each room has its own distinct feel with unique furnishings that are hand painted and distressed. Most rooms have queen sized beds with only 2 rooms having a double size bed due to the smaller space in the room....but we hope you will enjoy the special touches and not feel deprived whether in our largest room with the horse theme, or our smallest room that features a sweet donkey print affectionately named Jocelyn.
