Meet the Heart Behind the Haven: Kristy, Jeremiah, & Family & Friend

About Us:
We are Kristy and Jeremiah, a husband-and-wife duo, along with our three amazing kids, and our dear friend and business partner, Chad. Our bond goes beyond blood; it's built on shared experiences and a collective vision for creating something extraordinary.

Our Story:
Over fifteen years ago, life took unexpected turns for both Chad and Jeremiah, leaving them paralyzed. Additionally, our son, who walks with a cane due to cerebral palsy, has added unique perspectives to our journey. Navigating the challenges of finding wheelchair-accessible rentals ourselves, we understand the frustrations all too well.

The Inspiration Behind the Dream:
Our personal struggles led to a profound realization - the scarcity of wheelchair-accessible retreats. Driven by the desire to transform this frustration into a haven for others, we decided to embark on a mission to build wheelchair-accessible cabins.

Nature as Our Healing Sanctuary:
As nature lovers, we've discovered solace beneath starlit skies and the embrace of untouched landscapes. We believe in the healing power of nature. The chirp of a cricket, the vastness of the sky, and the whisper of the wind offer a sanctuary for reflection and healing.

The Dream Unfolds:
Having recently acquired a piece of land nestled in an undeveloped forest and wetland, our dream is taking shape. We envision a fully-inclusive getaway on the shores of an inland lake, offering universally-accessible cabins where families of all abilities (and their furry friends!) can find respite and connection with nature.

Join Us in Crafting a Haven:
Follow our journey, witness the dedication, and be part of the story. We're not just building cabins; we're creating a space where stress dissipates, and healing begins. Your escape to nature, tailored for all abilities, awaits!

Kristy, Jeremiah, Family, and Chad
