From Ben & Tori
We craft memorable stays by celebrating the Plateau’s heritage. Our getaways are built on ancestral land where we have found arrowheads and safeguarded memories. This family property has had many uses since the early 1900s, and we are thrilled to share it with you: to enjoy, rest, unwind and commune with nature.
Our land has been handed down generationally, and we don’t take that lightly. We rehab each house ourselves, out of pocket, and we do it right: barn wood from an old sawmill, windows from an 1890s South Florida mansion, the just-right countertop even when it takes a little longer.
We do personal check-ins, so we’ll meet you at the door and answer anything you need. Come rest, or get busy with your planned fun.

What we stand for
When we set out to accomplish something, it gets completed and done right. A college professor’s words echoed in Ben’s past: “If you need something done right and soon, give the job to the busiest person you know.” That pretty well sums up our lives here. We do the best job and work hard to make it something that matters. We do it with pride and excellence when we rehab each vacation home.
What we stand for
Some jobs take longer than others. As a family trying to do each house rehab project out of pocket, we sometimes must move to another project until we can access the best solution for the job at hand. This may involve extra time for a countertop or getting the just-right flooring for the space. Moreover, we research and then accomplish the goals set with surpassing quality.
What we stand for
To obtain excellence and the quality we expect of ourselves, and to be able to pass along these benefits to our guests, we work hard… all the time. Having a farm, full-time job, family, and running a short-term rental business means we don’t have a lot of downtime. There is great reward in this hard work: great places for others to find joy, fulfillment, and enrichment of our lives as we meet new people.
What we stand for
Our land has been handed down generationally. We don’t take this lightly. We find great pride in knowing we are restoring neglected parts of this property and turning it into something even better than it ever was. That’s why we spend the time and money to acquire heavy machinery to excavate, rejuvenate, and rehabilitate the land and buildings on site. Doing our best with these means our children have an even better future.
What we stand for
When looking for ways to make spaces unique, we thought barn wood would help. Then we found out the prices! However, we found an old sawmill deserted after a death and family squabble. We were permitted to gather any wood we wanted. We furnished an entire house with “barn wood” walls. Another place has windows from an 1890s South Florida mansion. Using these resourced materials in our homes, and the beauty they have brought, is a blessing!
What we stand for
With each word, we have purpose and meaning. Without the pursuit of those, the words mean nothing. If we make a promise, we keep it. If we say something in passing, we don’t just forget about it. From praying for someone when we said we would to coming back with a full propane tank, we believe our actions define our integrity. How we act and what we do matters… to us and others around us.
