FROM OUR ONSITE GUESTBOOK – “Gavin and I are very grateful to have had the chance to celebrate our wedding weekend in Pleasant Valley. From the moment we connected with you, it all seemed too good to be true. As we told you, your home is by far our favorite house in the area. The natural tranquility of this place is extraordinary. I can’t begin to put into words how much my family and I enjoyed our time soaking up the beauty surrounding us this weekend. Thank you so much for the terrific dinner and opportunity to be here”

FROM OUR ONSITE GUESTBOOK – “Thank you both so much for sharing your exquisite home and property with us. Words can not adequately express how beautiful it is here! You have truly created an amazing sanctuary. The house is so warm and comforting. The colors, artwork, furnishings, gourmet kitchen, and special touches everywhere makes every day spent here a treat for the senses. The beautiful gardens and patios are absolutely perfection. We can’t remember ever seeing so many hummingbirds in one place!”
“The party with our friends was fabulous – thanks to you both for the delicious wood-fired pizzas – we all has so much fun. Thanks for helping to create a memorable celebration for Dave’s birthday!”

FROM OUR ONSITE GUESTBOOK - "Thanks so much for providing the perfect Labor Day retreat for us and our friends. Your house is so comfortable and inviting, we barely ventured away. We enjoyed home-baked meals in your gourmet kitchen, morning walks, poolside + spa relaxation and evening firepit with friends. For Harry and I, it was the best pre-baby vacation we could ask for. And for Roxy, our little Boston Terrier, loved it too! It was her first "swimming experience" in the pool! Thanks again and we would love to come back next year!"

FROM OUR ONSITE GUESTBOOK - "The Woods' Pleasant Valley Retreat is beautiful - and we know we all benefited from a weekend free of city, stress, buses and checking our email. Instead, we were surrounded by windchimes, fountains, sunshine, good food, good people in a good place. Thank you for providing such a wonderful setting for us to celebrate our friend's upcoming marraige. We know we will all love returning here. Your attention to detail is amazing and we can't thank you enough!

FROM OUR ONSITE GUESTBOOK – “What a wonderful place to experience with loved ones! We couldn’t get over the unique, warm, relaxing feeling this house provides. The views are amazing, the outdoor space is divine, the kitchen is actually fun to cook in, and the comfort of the house is unequalled. Every design choice is perfect! Thank you for making a very special weekend even more special. Hating to leave, but looking forward to coming back!”

FROM OUR ONSITE GUESTBOOK – “Thank You! Olivia, 5 years old, loved going swimming with everybody and roasting marshmallows. Cooper, 5 years old, loved swimming and making marshmallows as well and being grateful with the gong, (in the inspiration garden). Sadie, 5 years old, liked doing the gong morning and night at grateful time! Asher, 3 years old, loved the gong and the VW Toy Bus collection. And now from the parents, all of us loved the heated outdoor living area, swimming in the pool, dancing to the outdoor music, cooking and enjoying meals from the amazing kitchen. Thank you for your warm welcome, authentic kindness. And wow! those pizzas, salads and company were good! See you soon”

FROM OUR ONSITE GUESTBOOK - “We had such a wonderful time in your lovely home – it truly has been a retreat. All the thoughtful touches – lighting for all moods, to-go coffee cups, cushions on the seats, etc, etc, etc, not to mention how friendly and warm you both are – contributed to a sense of abundance and relaxation in the most beautiful environment. Our little three-year old, Marguerite experienced so much about nature during our week here – it will have been a great and wonderful influence. Thank you for everything! All the best!"

Thank you, thank you for such a wonderful weekend! We all absolutely loved your home. We had a million things we were going to do in the area, but once we got there we only wanted to hang out on your property (which was actually exactly what we all needed). Thank you for your kind hospitality and for creating such a beautiful and relaxing space. I know we will be back...we are talking of making it an (at least) annual get together.
I have already told several friends about your home, so hopefully you will get some further business from us. It is such a find!
Finally, thanks again for generously allowing us to stay late on Sunday. It almost felt like we had an extra day, which made a world of difference. Next time, we will know to book three nights!

FROM OUR ONSITE GUESTBOOK - “Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful place to relax & enjoy the beauty of the region.
We especially marveled at the perfection of design and organization of the house. It was so well thoughtout – we were extremely comfortable here!
We only wished we had brought a couple more members of our family to share this experience and cook more meals. Thanks again.”

FROM OUR ONSITE GUEST BOOK - “Thank you both so much for the most extraordinary stay at your beautiful Pleasant Valley Retreat House. We love your gardens, the views, the comfy rooms and of course the wonderful pool and hot tub.
Everything was perfect for a stay, your kitchen is a joy to work in and the highlight of our stay was the incredible outdoor Pizza Party! You have to come up with another name for your gourmet preparations. Fig + Brie, caramelized onions, Mediterranean – this was far beyond pizza.
Again, thank you for your warm hospitality, the amazing accommodations and the Zen vacation we’ll never forget.”
