With another fall semester about to start for me, I took a little “personal retreat” time at the Log Home yesterday. 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.

Whether it’s arranging to have breakfast delivered to their cabin in the morning or setting up the a romantic atmosphere with candles and rose petals throughout the cabin, I help plan all sorts of surprises.

Often, guests want to celebrate a special occasion with their significant other away from their normal day-to-day routine. They want somewhere quiet where they can forget their daily life and enjoy each other’s company.
Stevenson Ridge has a total of ten cabin and cottages for our guests to rent out and have a memorable experience. Imagine returning from dinner to a cabin lit by candlelight or wood-burning fire, a delicious display of locally made artisan chocolates, and silk …

A recent family from Independence, MO, whom we had the honor to host in the Bedford Cabin for a few days left the following comment in the cabin’s guest book:
…“This place was above and beyond our expectations, waking up to the smell of wood is better than waking up to the smell of a full breakfast entree. Decor is amazing, location is amazing… I can sit here all day and write so many things about this place
