Make Your Next Retreat

The renovated cabin offers a cozy retreat in a serene natural setting with tranquil, clean colors. Inside is a queen-size bed, a spacious closet, and WiFi. The cabin features a classic farmhouse kitchen with butcher block counters, a deep farmhouse sink, a coffee and espresso machine, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and all essential cooking utensils. The bathroom is well-lit with new shiplap and a walk-in shower. Additionally, the cabin has a washer and dryer for added convenience. Outside, the deck provides outdoor seating, a grill, and a fire pit, creating a perfect relaxing spot. Parking is available by the garage barn, which is just a short walk to the cabin. The main house and barn lodge are nearby, set back along a mile-long lane, ensuring a peaceful and private retreat. Furthermore, a small chapel with sacred art and spiritual reading materials is also available in the cabin for quiet reflection and prayer.

If you choose to receive spiritual direction during the retreat, we have several options for our meetings. We can meet in the cozy barn lodge, take a walk and talk through the beautiful surroundings, or I can meet you at the local Catholic Church—whatever you feel most comfortable with. The cabin will be reserved exclusively for you during your stay, ensuring your privacy.

When making your retreat reservation, please be aware that the full amount is required when booking to confirm your reservation. This policy allows me to ensure the best possible experience for your retreat. If you need to cancel, my cancellation policy is as follows: cancellations made more than 30 days before the retreat date will receive a full refund; cancellations made between 15 and 30 days before the retreat date will receive a 50% refund; cancellations made less than 15 days before the retreat date are non-refundable. I appreciate your understanding, and eagerly anticipate your visit.

For your retreat at the cabin, you'll need to bring comfortable clothing and shoes for walking and relaxing, as well as toiletries and personal care items. Don't forget any medications you may need, along with your favorite snacks and drinks. Groceries are necessary since meals are not provided, unless arranged with me for an extra cost. There are several grocery stores in town to choose from. Bringing a journal and pen for reflection, along with any preferred spiritual reading materials, a Bible or other devotional items, and a rosary will enhance your experience. Additionally, a flashlight or headlamp will be useful for nighttime walks. Everything else, including kitchen essentials, linens, and basic supplies, will be provided to ensure a comfortable and enriching retreat experience.

For your retreat at the cabin, you have two convenient airport options. The first is John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) in Columbus, Ohio. This airport is approximately 60 miles from Lexington, Ohio, with a driving time of about one hour. Alternatively, you can fly into Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) in Cleveland, Ohio. This option is roughly 80 miles from Lexington, Ohio, with a driving time of about 1.5 hours. Both airports provide accessible routes to your retreat at the cabin, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your travel plans. 

You will need a rental car to get to the cabin and participate in daily Mass, Confession, and Eucharistic Adoration at nearby Catholic churches. Having a rental car will also allow you to explore Lexington and go on mini-pilgrimages to holy sites in the area. The flexibility of having your own vehicle will enhance your retreat experience, giving you the freedom to move around and fully engage with the spiritual and recreational opportunities available.

Lexington, Ohio, is a quaint village in Richland County known for its friendly community and scenic countryside. Just outside the village, my family's farm offers a peaceful retreat. Surrounded and protected by a wildlife preservation area, the property includes a main farmhouse, two barns, and two cabins (one exclusively for retreats). A mile-long lane leads to the heart of the farm, which features two main fields teeming with wildlife.

The barn lodge is a cozy gathering space with comfortable seating, cozy throw blankets, a stone fireplace, and a large island perfect for games or dining spreads. The farm is also home to vaccinated and friendly farm cats, adding to the serene and welcoming atmosphere. The retreat cabin offers a quiet and private setting, ideal for prayer, reflection, and relaxation amidst the farm’s natural beauty.
