A Family Vacation Center In NH
|
We are working to establish a Family Retreat Center in Brookline, NH.
These waterfront properties are at the end of a dirt road in the woods of NH. Most visitors comment how peaceful it is! This property captures seems to capture what feels lost in our world, a slower pace surrounded by nature and in fellowship with the Creator and one another. It truly is a hidden gem We see this as a community that offers:

The Backstory
In 2022 we sensed the Lord leading us to establish a home-base. Little did we know what He had planned.
In July we purchased a waterfront property (#3) in poor condition and began restoring it. First the foundation work, then the structure and building envelope.
Later that year, the Lord said “wait, this will not be finished yet”.
As we waited, the Lord opened the door to purchase the neighbors property (#4) in December

Companion Houses
In December 2022 we purchased the neighbors house, #4 and the Lord had already directed us to hire a contractor for the renovations so He could send us back on the road to continue the mission He had for us to be present with the ones He sends us to. So in obedience, we spent all we had and moved forward with the purchase, renovation and mission.

The Continued Work
In 2023 our hopes did not go as planned. The second house did not get finished in January 2023 like was promised. We were pregnant with our third child and planned to return to NH for the birth and use the finished house. Because it wasn’t finished, we had our baby in SC in our RV!
After the birth we spent some time recovering and returned to NH to find the house in worse shape than we left it. We spent all summer finishing the 2nd house while the first still remained unfinished. This took all of our time, energy and what little money we had left.
Aug - Nov 2023 we were able to rent it out temporarily on Airbnb. Then our family moved into it and we were able to host two different families for their vacations.
2024 - We are awaiting funding to finishing #3 and have two separate groups scheduled to use these properties in the coming months.
