“I am grateful that I have been able to visit Willowood Ranch on multiple occasions.  Each time I stay there, I am astonished by the peace and serenity of the property. It is secluded, secure, and private, but just a short distance away, there are grocery stores, gas stations, medical facilities, and a variety of other businesses that you might need.  The Ranch is equipped with all the modern amenities, but it is designed so that every space feels comfortable, relaxed, and welcoming. The first time I stepped onto the Willowood Ranch property I felt right at home and like I was part of the family.”

“My time at Willowood has deeply impacted me both personally and spiritually. Stepping away from the noise of life gives me space to hear God more clearly—His peace in my anxiety, His direction in uncertainty, and His strength when I’m weary. Over the years, whether I’ve come for a pastoral break, a gathering with our worship team, or precious time with my family, I’ve experienced the same thing—God meets me there. His presence rests on that place in such a unique, undeniable way. Even the simplest moments—watching the sunrise, hearing the quiet breeze, or standing under the canopy of stars—refresh my soul and draw me closer to Him. Willowood has become more than just a retreat location; it’s a place where I continually encounter God’s faithfulness, reset my perspective, and walk away renewed. Every time I leave, I find myself already looking forward to the next opportunity to return.”

- Scot Longyear,

Lead Pastor of

Maryland Community Church

“I have visited Willowood for solo as well as team retreats. I can confidently say it delivers every time. The setting is peaceful, with facilities thoughtfully designed to feel both timeless and comfortable, incorporating modern touches that preserve the charm. The staff’s hospitality makes it feel like home. Over the years, the ranch has become a place to seek quiet time alone as well as group focus. I always leave with a renewed sense of peace—rested, refreshed, and grateful for the space by the time we go back to the business of every day.”
