I take pen in hand to thank you for your hospitality and kindness. We, the
Fifth Virginia Infantry have to say that we have been blessed by your
small touches; the snacks and coffee, use of the bathroom, and even
letting us sleep on your porch. (Sorry about the bear)
I would like to thank you also for the tea and cakes. They were first rate
and the special tea, that was first rate as well.
We have enjoyed being here and are looking forward to being here for many
years to come.
Your Obedient Servant,
The 5th Virginia Infantry Company E

Thank-you for the best anniversary we have had yet! We felt like we were visiting relatives when we first step in the door. The time here was so relaxing. We really enjoyed your suggestions on what to do while here. The breakfast was very good. Really enjoyed the apple cider. The room was awesome with everything you offered. We really liked how you designed it. Good choices of everything. We will be back again.
Thanks for everything
