Eagles Rest Retreat has been blessed to receive these kind words from people who have stayed with us.
Dear John & Dody,
Thank you for letting me stay at your B&B for my retreat of solitude this week! I am truly touched by your hospitality and encouragement to make myself at home. It was a great reflection of the love of Christ. Between the homey accommodations inside and the beautiful surroundings outside, I was able to meet with God. I had the space for Him to speak to me and remind me that He alone is my bread and water. I was able to listen to where he is leading me in my work at Binghamton U. It was great, and I could not have done it without you!
Peace and blessings,
Lauren

Dear John & Dody,
Thank you once again for opening your home to us. We had plans to stay with some friends along the way and when that fell through I decided to see if your home was available. I was so excited when it was!! Your ministry is such a blessing! We would never be able to do this with our entire family had it not been for your open doors & open heart.
God Bless!

Dear John & Dody,
What a blessing! Thank you for providing a beautiful, refreshing, and life-giving get-away. The peaceful & quiet time to pray and enjoy were truly irreplaceable! One of our highlights was hearing about your family and life experiences, and the beautiful music you sang for the Lord. Your home is a safe haven.

Dear John & Dody,
Such a sweet time we have had at Eagles Rest! Thank you for making your home warm and inviting to ministry folk and including Rick & me in your generous hospitality. We have so benefited from the quiet and beautiful surroundings. We have been refreshed. Your sacrifice in serving us is humbling. Thanks for giving up your home and spending time with us talking and directing us to cool places to visit. Thinking of the many people you have been used by the Lord to bless, is an encouragement to us! We will press on, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus and ministering in the strength of His might! We appreciate you both.
