From Our Guest books at Green Valley: March 30, 2005 It's a lovely, cool, sunny day in our charming woodland retreat. Once, many years ago, I owned a cabin in the woods in Md. and had to give it up for many reasons. I dream of it still. This cottage reminds me of all the best memories of my early adulthood. So quiet, so tranquil. This is a blessed, enchanted place, out of time. My husband and I and our small dog, all enjoy the natural setting. We hope to return soon. Thank you, for sharing the magic with us. It's almost time to return home, but I will keep Green Valley in my heart, comforted by knowing it is here waiting for our return again in the near future. The lake, the woods, the creek, the bluebirds, all the creatures of the forest...We have found and experienced a profound peace here...enjoyed by the three of us...such comfort, so much lovliness, we are grateful for this discovery....Until we meet again.

We get to share our 3rd stay at Green Valley with our 11 month old son. Nothing compares to seeing a child discover all that this world has to offer. I can't wait until he is old enough to go running through the woods with his old man. This place truly has become a safe haven in our busy lives. I hope everyone that comes to Green Valley finds the peace that we have here. It's nice to know that in a world that moves far to quickly, there is still a place where time stands still. See you next time !
