The guest house is a walk-out ranch structure surrounded by trees and facing rolling farmland.(In the spring these woods are a mushroom hunter's paradise due to elm trees galore ! Mid-July also brings fields full of wild blackberry bushes ready to be picked- cautiously with gloves due to thorns but worth the trouble)

The upstairs has a large great room/kitchen with a fireplace and a screened porch accessed through french doors. Two bedrooms upstairs (with queen and full size beds), bath and office/library complete the first floor.

The lower level has two bedrooms where twin beds can accommodate families or singles. A large recreational room with exercise equipment, game table and tv provides leisure space for guests. A convenient kitchen is available for snacks and cookouts on the gas grill. Washer /dryer are available off the downstairs bathroom as is air conditioning throughout.

(Special provision of all twin beds can be made if desired)

Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us: "to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven..." Surely a time of rest and restoration is needed by those in full-time ministry. It is also evident in scripture that Moses set a pattern for going a good distance from the camp to seek the Lord and hear His voice. (Exodus 33:17) Jesus Himself and His disciples set themselves apart (Matt. 14:13;17::19 and 20:17, Mark 6:31 and 9:2) to receive needed rest and revelation.

Whether needing restoration of body, soul and spirit due to the constant demands of ministry or seeking fresh revelation and direction for continued service, Doe Run Retreat offers a set apart place, a place of...
