First rate all the way.  We will definitely be back.  KC

After my wife's passing in April, I kind of lost a sense of direction and had no time to step back to figure out how to go forward.  Coming here has given me that opportunity.  With the beautiful cabin and everything provided, we had a chance to relax, reflect and just be.  My friend Jill said she didn't realize how tired she was till she came here and got to relax.  Terri, going through chemo had a great time as well.  The kids will always remember this trip.  Thank you so much, you're doing a fantastic job.  Good luck with your plans in the future.  KC

​We had an amazing time and definitely plan to come back. My son has been checking on the baby trees to make sure they are doing ok ever since you let him help water them.  Amber

"We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the Bunk House.  It was perfect for us.  We had everything out and loaded by 10:30, but we just couldn't make ourselves leave, so we sat and visited on the picnic table until 12:30.
The cabin was exceptionally clean and well appointed.  We all loved the decorating theme.
We're hoping to come again in the fall.
Thanks so much for allowing us to stay at your wonderful Retreat."  Micki- Balwin, MO

Previous Years Comments

"I cannot thank you enough. Pine Ridge Retreat is beyond words for me. I felt like I was living in another world. You have a true gem in your historic county."

"Enjoyed our stay in the cabin once again so much! We always plan and look forward to the time we spend there so much . . we can hardly wait for it to arrive! The time goes so fast!"

"Just wanted to let you know we caught almost 300 fish. Had a Great Time!"

"Thanks so much for having this beautiful cabin. We enjoyed spending the weekend there. We look forward to spending the first weekend of Dec. there for many years to come!"

"Just a note to let you know how much we enjoyed the stay in your charming cabins. The grounds were well kept and the cabins were stocked with everything we needed. We're already thinking of renting again next year."

"The place so many of us wish we could go back to is the past, because it was a kinder, simpler place, a more relaxed place, than where we are now . . . soon we pulled into Lacey Keosauqua State Park . . . a brief drive on the main road took us directly to Pine Ridge Retreat, where cabin number 4 awaited us." -- Read entire article titled Discovering a Lesser Eden  (required reading) :)
