“Absolutely Wonderful Place to Stay and Relax”

Recent guests from Oregon spent some time with our historian-in-residence touring Chancellorsville and Spotsylvania. They posted a nice review at AirBnB:

“Our visit to Stevenson Ridge and the Riddick House was a highlight of our two-week journey visiting several Civil War battlefields. Absolutely wonderful place to stay and relax. The owners of this beautiful property provide a unique experience for their guests, having relocated and modernized [within reason] a number of houses and cabins [all different], creating a private park-like …

Scenes from the 2017 Bridal Open House: The Riddick House Basement

We’re still sharing scenes from our 2017 Bridal Open House, held February 26. The wedding coordinators got the basement of the Riddick House dolled up in 1950s style.

A Splash of Spring Color in the Fall

Scenes from 2016 Bridal Open House: The Riddick House

Today, we offer more scenes from our Bridal Open House held last weekend. While most of the “starstruck” excitement took place in the Lodge, we had the basement of the Riddick House decked out in a woodlands theme so couples could see what a rehearsal dinner might look like in the space. Here are some photos, courtesy of Elizabeth:
