The Benninghofen House - Hamilton, Ohio

All Yoga Retreats are generally restful, but Bekki & Michael were exceptional hosts. The food was wonderful…..thank you Michael. And Bekki was made for this. She is genuine, kind & thoughtful. There was no judgement at all and she is very accommodating. She did various kinds of yoga with us, all gentle, but my favorite was the yoga with the bowls. So relaxing. The house was built in 1892. Bekki and Michael have kept the essence of that period and the house is a comfortable, welcoming and warm space with interesting nooks and crannies. The area is very walkable although it rained the whole weekend I was there so I really didn’t have a chance to get out much. But I didn’t miss it. I got what I came for. Peace, rest and yoga! I will definitely go back.

My first yoga retreat experience was phenomenal. Bekki and Michael were perfect hosts. The Benninghofen House is beautiful and comfortable. So many great touches that make you feel at home. Bekki is an amazing instructor and gears the experience to be accessible to people with all levels of yoga experience. The food and conversations with the other guests were the icing on the cake! Give this experience a try, you won't be disappointed!

What a peaceful weekend of healing with some beautiful souls.

Stayed in Apt D for a wellness retreat. It was rainy but still a great time in the Benninghofen house.
Clean accommodations, nourishing food, several relaxing yoga sessions that could be modified easier or harder depending on skills. Free time to relax, doing whatever the soul needed in the moment.

What a wonderful life Bekki and Michael have built together doing things they enjoy and sharing with others! Thank you both so much! Wishing you continued blessings and success with this beautiful house!

I'm so glad I signed up. I was meant to be there. You are too♥️

I can't say enough wonderful things about this beautiful home. The boutique style hotel is a perfect stay if you want to get away but not travel too far. We stayed for our 22 anniversary weekend and WOW, was it perfect. Bekki made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The apartment is stylish, with nods to the homes history. The town of Hamilton offers plenty of variety and we enjoyed "eating in" from some fabulous local restaurants around the area. Every bed and couch was comfortable, shower had plenty of water pressure and the overall feel was welcoming and cozy! I can't wait to go back in the summer and enjoy the beautiful backyard and quaint little town. 10/10 experience!

Bekki and Michael at the Benninghofen House are nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, the peaceful atmosphere of the retreat washed over me. The home where the retreat is hosted is absolutely beautiful — serene, spacious, and located in Hamilton where you can enjoy local shops or just stay home and relax, making it the perfect place to disconnect and recharge.

Bekki’s yoga sessions were a true highlight. Her teachings are gentle yet powerful, creating a space for both beginners and seasoned practitioners to find their flow. The classes were designed to help us unwind, stretch, and truly reconnect with our bodies, while her calming presence made each session feel deeply restorative. By the end of each practice, I felt lighter, more centered, and deeply relaxed.

What made this retreat even more special was Michael’s cooking. Every meal was not only delicious but thoughtfully prepared, nourishing both the body and soul. His meals were vibrant, fresh, and full of flavor, made with love and care. It’s clear that Michael is a true culinary artist, and every bite felt like a gift.

Together, Bekki and Michael created a harmonious retreat experience, one that helped me reset my mind, body, and soul. I left feeling rejuvenated, at peace, and completely zen. If you're looking for a place to unplug, relax, and find balance, this retreat is truly a gem. Highly recommend it!

This was the most relaxing yoga retreat! After 5 days back we had dinner with friends and my husband said I have been so zen all week. Best compliment ever! So important to disconnect & refocus! I can’t say enough good things about host Bekki & Michael for putting together the perfect weekend. Thank you for sharing your space & gifts!

Went to a junk journaling makers retreat and everything was perfect. From the spotless and comfy accommodations, to the top notch food, the yoga, and the sessions. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Beckie and Michael are so warm and inviting, I feel like I have expanded my family! Thanks for a perfect retreat!

The Benninghofen women’s retreat was an extraordinary event designed to recharge and revitalize. It offered a perfect balance of activity and relaxation, allowing us to reconnect with ourselves and each other. The combination of yoga, fabulous food, massage, shopping, sauna, hot tub, and exceptional hospitality created a memorable experience that left us feeling refreshed and inspired. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to any woman seeking a weekend of bliss and rejuvenation. Thanks Bekki & Michael! You’ve created a special place.
