Originally called Maranatha Gardens, the property encompassed 11 acres overlooking the scenic 
Daughtrey's Creek which was homesteaded by Jacob Daughtrey in 1878.  The beautiful existing building 
was built in the 1980's by John and Bertha Sepielli who were on a mission to have a personal 
ministry. Their love and hardwork resulted in a beautiful garden, chapel, and miles of walkways 
flagged with bible verses. Countless weddings and baptisms were held here over the almost 20 years 
that the Sepiellis had the prayer gardens opened to the public.  

The property was purchased by the current owners in 2005 and has undergone a series of renovations 
which included redoing the home, the landscaping of the gardens, building a tropic pool/hot tub with 
a waterfall, and cutting walking trails throughout the property. Currently, the property has walking 
paths of over 30 acres. Guests also have use of Riverbend Golf and Riverclub (on a fee basis)which 
can be reached from the gardens by golf cart.
