Of all Stevenson Ridge’s cabins, the Log Home has perhaps the most epic front porch for passing the time. It’s a great spot for woolgathering with a cold beer or a glass of wine. In the mornings, it’s the perfect setting for that first cup or two of coffee.
We’ve had sweltering days this week, which finally …
One of the best advantages to staying at Stevenson Ridge for Civil War buffs is that they can get a chance to see a part of the Spotsylvania battlefield that not many people get to see.
The Union Ninth Corps occupied the ground that is now Stevenson Ridge during the first week of the battle, and the Union Fifth Corps occupied it during the battle’s second week. Additionally, the Union Sixth Corps moved across part of the property. That’s ¾ …

Blogging is not my forte! I’m not a big fan of writing, and I enjoy my privacy. I tend to be more picture-heavy on my personal social media and let them speak for themselves. So, when I enrolled in a blogging class hosted by the University of Mary Washington’s Center for Economic Development, I was hoping for some direction and inspiration.
Accompanied by a couple of my leading ladies at work, Cassandra and Kellyn, I arrived to the …

Last weekend, we prepared an authentic Spanish meal, which included the very popular elote.
Centuries ago, indigenous tribes in southern Mexico cultivated and started growing corn. Over many years, corn has spread across the world into the homes of almost all regions and has cemented itself as one of the worlds most popular vegetables. The versatility of corn has helped it reach its high demand, and it’s now also included in animal feed, ethanol fuel, and …

The Washington Post’s Sunday business section featured Stevenson Ridge in a nice article last weekend: “2 successful businesses, based on technologies centuries apart.” Dan Spear, owner of Spear Builders and co-owner of Stevenson Ridge, and SR’s managing partner, Jennifer Mackowski, both appear in the piece.

Although we are a hidden gem, Stevenson Ridge is in a prime location. We are located in Spotsylvania County, which neighbors Fredericksburg. We are one hour from both Richmond and D.C., and only 20 minutes from the very popular Historic Downtown Fredericksburg. When you’re out at The Ridge, you feel as if you’re a little bit further into the rural part of the county than you really are! This means you get the rolling hills and views of …
