About the host
Hosted by Alicia Ahlers
Welcome! My husband, Glenn, and I have raised and homeschooled our family of 14 children here on this piece of paradise.
Glenn built everything here himself from the house to the trails, to the waterfall and horse barn conversion… and we have poured years of love into making this an amazing place to relax and enjoy a peaceful moment.
Most of our children have grown - we now have 8 grandchildren, as well as a ministry focused on helping Orphans & Widows in Liberia, through our not-for-profit Pepper Coast Ministries. - Liberia is especially close to our hearts as 6 of our children were born there and adopted into our family.
Glenn and I still live on this property with our youngest, so feel free to say hello! We would love to meet you!

Why they chose this property
46 acres to ramble and hike, there are horses and an outdoor pool and hammocks out in the spring, summer, and fall. Lots of quiet nature and privacy. The property is bordered on three sides by creeks and they are always filled with fossil and critters.
What makes this property unique
We are out in the country with all the privacy and quiet but only a few miles off the highway to anywhere!
