Observations
"Reasonably priced and so peaceful..."  J.S., craft store owner, New York

"Thank you for your hospitality. I slept so well!" L. K., Finland

"My guests enjoyed their stay. Thank you for everything you did to make them feel comfortable."


"We came so far for a family reunion. 
Thank you for the comfortable accommodations while we spent time with our relatives."  guests from Iowa

     "I did feel close to God. Why haven't I
     done this before?"


      "Our group was blessed with the few
     hours we met there."


     "T
he labyrinth was a glimpse into the Garden of Eden. With each step I took, I experienced a small taste of walking in nature along a path with the Lord at my side. The world slowed down and the chirping of a nearby bird became clearer as did the whisper of God's voice.
    "Then a truck blared it' s airbrakes and the distraction of the world barreled in. It was clear just how far from Eden we really have gone. How
noisy our world is now and how hard it is to find the silence. I wanted to tell those driving by, 'Stop, come and be still. Look, you are missing out by not being in the presence of God.'  Would they have heard me through the noise of technology and machinery?
    "I was reminded as well, too often I don't hear the Lord telling me the same thing, beckoning me to come and be still.
    "John 14:15-17 tells us: 'If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.'" 
S. S., Pennsylvania
