Went to the Benninghofen House for a 10-person book club yoga retreat in late Oct and I can only say wonderful things about the experience, the house, and Bekki and Michael. The overall vibe is so warm and welcoming - from the hosts' energy, to the home-cooked meals, to the guided yoga and journaling sessions. The house is immaculate and beautiful to boot - you can't ask for better surroundings for a weekend away. Bekki and Michael are thoughtful hosts and great people - I felt very cared for, which made the weekend truly memorable. Highly recommend, would (will!) go back. Now, stop reading this review and go book your stay!

Fantastic watercolor class women’s retreat! Elizabeth the artist instructor is wonderful at helping all of us create our own style of landscapes after reviewing all the basics. Bekki & Mike are the perfect hosts and the food was excellent. I felt pampered and cared for at The Beninghoffen House

The Benninghofen ( is an Airbnb) and an experience you will never forget. Loved the painting retreat I attended. The home built in 1892, has quite an interesting ancestral background. The house is most charming and is kept very clean. The owners have thought of everything, to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The owner is quite the chef and each meal was amazing. Their gracious hospitality, includes bringing your luggage’s right up to your room. The hosts are such pleasant people. Hamilton, Ohio is a good size and offers many places to eat, and an array of antique stores.

We really had a lovely time at the Benninghoffen art retreat. The home is amazing and Bekki made us so comfortable! The food was outstanding (Thanks Michael) and we plan to come back soon! Elizabeth was our watercolor instructor and she so inspired us to stay with our art journey and not be fearful of putting paint on the paper, where wonderful things can happen! Thanks to all!

I just attended a weekend women’s wellness retreat at Benninghofen house and it was everything I needed for my mind, body & soul - yoga, smoothies, delicious home-cooked meals, vision boards, hot tub, massage, relaxing and a whole lot of gratitude, all in a beautiful historic home. Bekki and Michael are fabulous - so warm and inviting, and just lovely people. I met some wonderful women who were also on the retreat - all so kind, with such interesting stories to share. I highly recommend checking out a weekend retreat at Benninghofen - with a best friend (as I did), a sister, mom or just by yourself! You will not regret it. I will definitely be back.

I came to Benninghofen House for an Amazing Junque Journal Art Retreat. Bekki and Michael were amazing hosts! The accommodations are stylish, comfortable, and impeccably cared for. I had ease in extending my stay before and after the retreat days. Bekki was a wonderful communicator with all the details needed from booking, checking in, and throughout my entire vacation. All wants and needs were fulfilled. Michael was an all-star chef, making delicious wholesome meals throughout the retreat. A special treat was wood fired pizza made in the beautiful backyard kitchen. Bekki provided a gentle yoga practice to start our retreat workshop days. If I lived in Hamilton I would book her classes every week! The Junque Journal Queens provided fun, informative classes and instruction. They showered us with beautiful supplies and tons of craft making materials. They’re unique, energetic, and individual styles introduced us to so much inspiration and sparks for our creativity! The icing on the cake was the opportunity to meet 8 other amazing ladies and experience the rest rest with them. We ended the weekend feeling such comfort and camaraderie! They were all such special Queens!

I spent 3 nights at the beautiful Benninghofen House for a Watercolor Painting Retreat and it was perfect! The home is amazing, meals were delicious, and the hosts Bekki and Mike were so kind and thoughtful. We had the best time, relaxing, painting, shopping, and meeting new people. It's as active or as chill and you want to make it - morning yoga, painting classes, wine time, fresh pizzas from their pizza oven, lots of laughs and shared storied around the evening firepit - all wrapped around breakfasts, lunches and dinners that were incredible! If you are considering a weekend retreat here - - Just do it!
