It was very relaxing and fun walking around the 38 acres of woods, rolling hills, and lakefront of Rolling Ridge Retreat and Conference Center in Massachusetts.

The weather was comfortable while I was taking pictures on the grounds of Rolling Ridge Retreat and Conference Center. I could have spent many more hour taking pictures but was limited by the setting sun. The grounds are so peaceful and relaxing and the staff very friendly.

I was visiting a longtime buddy of mine, Larry Jay, who is the Executive Director at Rolling Ridge. I am very impressed by the operations and staff at Rolling Ridge and would enjoy visiting the conference center again in the future. I also must mention the meals served in the beautiful Lakeside Gallery Dining Room are outstanding! Thank you very much to the food service team!

Retreat to Rolling Ridge

Walk thru Rolling Ridge Retreat Conference center as you look at these pictures.  The picture sequence shows you how it would be like as you enter the grounds.

It was an experience to enjoy this mansion estate property.  It is a nice escape to go and focus on God’s creation and beauty.

I especially liked the arches with the blue ceiling which reminded me of the blue sky. The architecture design is different than what I see in California.  The vast greenery is very peaceful.  It was a nice escape for me to get away from the concrete jungle of San Francisco.

These grounds are ideal to retreat away temporary from the world to focus on our relationship with God.

Rolling Ridge Conference Center

1920's Gregorian Manor of Ethan Allen, Andrew Hepworth, Ethan Allen, Fletcher Steele, Lake Cochichewick, Massachusetts, North Andover, Rolling Ridge, United Methodist Church

The 1920’s Gregorian Manor of Ethan Allen at Rolling Ridge originally designed by Andrew Hepworth inside the courtyard at the entrance of the property

Last week, I visited my good buddy who works at Rolling Ridge Conference Center in North Andover, Massachusetts.  This was my first visit to this area.  I wanted to travel here to see Fall Foliage.  The leaves were starting to turn.  So perhaps now they are much brighter in color compared to when I took this photo.

I did love the architecture of this building.  The cobblestone courtyard was also very interesting.  In the center, there is a fountain.  In California, cobblestones courtyards are not common.  Perhaps this is why I enjoyed looking at the texture of this courtyard.  It was nice to be in this expansive area compared to the compact surroundings of a city.

I will be sharing more of the scenic Rolling Ridge Conference Center grounds which are beautiful and serene.  It was nice to take a break from the Bay Area and be in quiet surroundings to relax.

Here’s a link to Rolling Ridge Conference Center’s website.
