About the host
Hosted by Ervin & Christine E. Kraemer
Ervin, a retired military veteran and former WA State Patrol Officer, stays active and engaged in various tasks on their extensive 20-acre property. Whether it's welding, roasting coffee beans, or building new garden beds, guests are sure to find him immersed in his projects. Meanwhile, Christine, equally industrious, tends to the operations at Honey Bee Ridge Farm & Garden. She manages the greenhouses, assists customers with plant starts, and nurtures their vegetable gardens, all while starting her day with a cup of coffee roasted by Ervin.
Celebrating 38 years of marriage, the couple has raised three adult children who now have families of their own. Ervin and Christine's shared faith in Jesus Christ and involvement at Indian Creek Baptist Church reflect their deep-rooted values. Their community engagement extends to having served on various boards, that have included the MW Chamber, The Brazos Foundation, The Hope House Foundation and currently visiting shut-ins at the local assisted living and nursing homes, safety team at ICBC as
well helping in the church kitchen & Womens minister team.
Beyond their commitments, Ervin and Christine find joy in traveling, homesteading, and dedicating themselves to helping others ans hospitality.

Why they chose this property
Ervin and Christine were one of the first 2 couples to build on The Ridge. This location was chosen for the view and proximity to the two adjoining hwy's 281, 254 & FM 1885 all of which can be seen from the top of the property. The desire was to get off the main highways, enjoy a 180 degree view of the valley and attain acreage for gardens, farm animals and family.
What makes this property unique
At The Ridge, the views are stunning, setting a high standard for our cottage guests. What truly sets us apart is our close-knit community where neighbors are not just neighbors but caring individuals who watch out for each other. Our "family" at The Ridge comprises former military personnel, law enforcement officers, teachers, nurses, mechanics, and ranchers - truly remarkable people!
Situated on the ridge of La Cresta Lane, a private drive with no outlet, our guests can leisurely stroll without the hustle of traffic, enjoying the serene surroundings to their heart's content.
During the garden season, guests are invited to pick fresh vegetables, interact with the goats and chickens, pet the bunny, watch the cows, chuckle at the antics of the guinea hens, and bond with Frosty the horse. Alternatively, guests can relish the tranquility of the cozy cottage for a perfect getaway experience.
