***By Reservation Only***

Built in 1869 by the sheriff of York County, Samual Ruby, it is a 2 1/2 story log home with lots of charm and history. Surrounded by large old trees and flower gardens with an expansive front porch, we invite you to step back in time and leave the hustle and bustle of the modern world behind. As you enjoy a fresh cup of our brewed aromatic tea, you will return to another

era, where ladies wore fashionable hats, and manners and civility were a way of life. Take time to browse through our rooms filled with antiques, gifts, tea items, and handmade crafts. Worried that a tea room might not be your "cup of tea?" Don't be! Although we promise to treat you like royalty, we have a laid back atmosphere. We treat every customer like a friend and we encourage everyone, man, woman, or child, to come give us a try. There is always something new each month at the Front Porch. Come watch the seasons change inside and out with us.

Sometimes we make our plans, set our goals, and think we know exactly where we’re headed. But Proverbs 16:9 reminds us that while **we may make our plans, it is the Lord who determines our steps.**

What a comfort that is! We don’t have to have every detail figured out. We simply need to trust the One who already sees the whole path. 🙏

If your plans have changed, if a door has closed, or if you’re walking into something completely unexpected, remember—**God is still leading.**

Take the next step in faith.
Trust His timing.
Trust His direction.
Trust His plan.

Have a blessed Sunday!

What a beautiful reminder that generosity isn’t just about what we give—it’s about the love, encouragement, kindness, and hope we pour into others. 💛

Today, let’s look for someone who needs a little refreshing. A kind word, a helping hand, a listening ear, or simply letting someone know they are loved can make a difference.

**Be a blessing today, and trust God to refresh your soul in return.** 🙏✨

Wishing you a peaceful and blessed Sunday! 🌷
