A Little Bit

ABOUT US

Passionate about Hospitality

We are both pastor's kids who grew up accustomed to lots of friends and family visiting, eating meals together, socializing. This was also our desire for our family from the beginning: to have a whole passel of children and to have our doors open to visitors and neighbors. Our journey has taken us to New York for a decade as a pastor's family, and to Michigan to run a construction company, and finally back to where we got our start here in Lancaster County. Along the way we had 11 children join us on our journey, and we never tire of having a house full.

DONALD OWENS II

“Through many years in residential construction and remodelling, I have been given the chance to remodel and design multiple houses for customers to set up as vacation rentals, and I am so excited to finally be able to set one up for us to host together as a family.”

OUR FAMILY

SARAH OWENS

"Vacation rentals have been such a blessing to our family, and I love working together with my children and husband to give you the same experience: the feeling that the host has thought of what we would need in order to be comfortable and has taken care of it, so we can just relax and enjoy being together."

Why "Ravenwood"?

Ravens have a grim reputation in popular lore, but in the Bible they are presented differently. When Noah released a raven from the Ark it did not return, because ravens are hardy survivors who can make a home anywhere. This is an inspiration for us to help travelers feel at home, even when away from home.

When Elijah fled into the wilderness in exile, "Ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook." (1 Kings 17) We hope that Ravenwood will be able to meet your needs while you are away from home as well.

Elijah Fed by Ravens, Manner of Mola, Pier Francesco (Italy, 1612-1666)
