The Story Begins

I wonder.  Has it really been 20 years?

By chance, while dusting my bookshelves, I rediscovered Sophronia Cottage’s first guests’ log book.

The book began as a personal journal of my family’s adventures of working, rebuilding, and loving Green Valley.
 
And then, the idea of a “cottage” was planted, watered, and nourished until it grew and blossomed into
Sophronia Cottage at Green Valley Lake.
 
My personal journal then became a guests’ log with the 1st entry being made on July 28,  1995.
 
“Thank you for sharing this beautiful, peaceful place.   This was one of the most relaxing weekends we have had
and we certainly plan to return.
 
You have done a wonderful job on the cabin and the grounds.   The natural beauty remains, with all the comforts of home.”
 
And so...the story began...
