The first building to go up was the Manna House conference center. Next came the Ark dormitory, followed by the addition of a work shop, a log home for small retreats and sabbaticals, the Lodge Dormitory, the Library Meeting Room and Dormitory, and other outdoor recreational opportunities. With these additions, the ministry is equipped to meet the needs of a wide variety of church groups and Christian organizations desiring to gather for Bible studies, retreats, conferences, and camps.

Nestled in a secluded location at the edge of the woods, it is the perfect spot to relax, rekindle, or recharge. The Quiet Cabin has two bedrooms, three bathrooms and a sleeping loft that will accommodate a total of eight guests. Most enjoy the fact that there is no cable TV, phone line, or satellite dish to interrupt the peace. That’s one of the reasons we call it the Quiet Cabin. Free wifi is available in case you don’t want to leave all amenities behind.

The Jackson Lake Picnic Pavilion is our refurbished tobacco barn with a covered porch on the west side. There is a covered outdoor kitchen area with plenty of prep space, running water, grill and griddle. Around two sides of the inside walls of the barn are wooden counters and lots of electrical outlets. You can set up crockpots and warmers along both walls for your outdoor event. There is a fire pit within a few feet of the porch and we keep an ample supply of firewood for every outdoor event. Under the porch there are chairs, benches, a picnic table and porch swing to enjoy.

The General Store is located on the front of the farm. This small building is currently used for a variety of needs, but seldom on a daily basis.

Wades Creek runs through the southeast corner of the property. On the southern end it runs just behind the Ark Dormitory. On the eastern end it bends about 100 yards behind the Quiet Cabin. These locations provide our two favorite points of entry to wade the creek. With a rocky bottom you will want to be sure to wear some secure footwear. Pool depths seldom exceed 3 feet, and are routinely much lower between pools. We do not allow wading in the creek during or after a heavy rain. It is a large creek for this part of the country, and water depth can rapidly change during a heavy rain to exceed 5 or 6 feet.
Wades Creek
Jackson Lake is located on the western side of the ministry property, accessible by a gravel road and walking trail from the Manna House. Jackson Lake is a great place to fish for largemouth bass and bluegill during your stay at The Hill. A dock juts out over the water in the perfect spot for sunning and relaxing if fishing is not your thing. We regularly spot deer, turkey, ducks, and geese in the area, along with an occasional eagle or fox.
