Our Story

Built on Care and Conviction

John Troyer Jr. runs Sandpiper Homestays alongside his wife Lois. They have four children and a hobby farm where they practice small-scale homesteading. Birding, beekeeping, picnicking. That love of land and life shapes the way they work.

What Drives Us

Faith, Hospitality, and Going the Extra Mile

They count themselves fortunate to work with wonderful people, and they hold themselves to a simple standard: guests should leave with more than they expected. Their faith shapes everything, from the way they manage properties to the way they treat the people who stay in them.
