Their Story​
Tina and John’s path to innkeeping began in 2008 during their years of military life abroad. Their love for travel, community, and meaningful connections inspired their dream of owning a bed and breakfast. After nine relocations, they found a place that felt like home: Chic & Dwight Yoder’s BrickInn. Its charm, history, and peaceful setting aligned perfectly with their vision
​
Today, they welcome guests into a retreat shaped by resilience, warmth, and genuine hospitality. At BrickInn, every stay reflects their belief in connection, comfort, and the beauty of nature.

Tina and John invite you to experience the echoes of history—where stories unfold, nature embraces, and hospitality is a way of life.
