From the West
At the intersection of Rt 24 and Rt 67 in Rushville (at the Hardee’s), go east (towards downtown Rushville) Follow Rt 24 through town (turn left at the hospital to stay on Rt 24) At the stop sign at the NAPA store continue straight out of town on Rt 24—Go out about 8 miles until you see Ray Rd going to the left (north) (The signs for Ray Rd are on your right-hand side though.) If you go down a BIG hill on Rt 24--- you have gone about a mile or so too far.
Once on Ray Rd, our place is 1½ miles from Rt 24---on the right hand side. It will be the 3rd mailbox after the second big curve. Ours is a brown oversized mailbox---go past the mailbox 1/10 mile and look for our Peace of Earth sign on the right hand side, and the smaller red and white sign for our address 15503. (If you get to the next mailbox --- 41A/ a gated driveway—you went about ½ mile too far north.)
We have a long drive (1/10 mi) that takes you past our prairie on the right and around a slight bend. There is a cedar-sided garage that you will see before you see the lodge. The lodge is nestled in the hill at the edge of the forest.
From the East
Take Rt 136 west through Havana and over to the Rt 24 junction. Turn left onto Rt 24 and continue on it through Astoria and on an additional 7 miles toward Rushville. Just after you go through a big valley (Sugar Creek valley), there will be a curve to the right and you will see a sign for Ray Rd. Turn right (north) onto Ray Rd.
