here are some words from our guest book in the New Artists' Loft copied as written

Thank you for a great relaxing time with family, no distractions like TV, Internet, where we could share, repair and bond. Wish this could have lasted a few weeks. What a lovely time it was. January 2011 Well, you truly out did yourselves again !! We thought we were spoiled in Strawberry Hill, and now we are truly in love with the Artists' Loft ! Every room we felt the love you put into it. Now, we really don't want to leave ! January 2011 Your artistry shows in the ways you have created a get-away for ones Mind, Body and Soul ! Not just the breath taking views, but in the smallest details ( I loved fresh flowers (wild)) with all the comforts of home. We wanted for Nothing - because of that artists way of detail ! We cannot thank you enough for your ability to create an atmosphere that invites one to just Be !! May 2010 Loved it. Talked music, life, God and everything in between. No internet? No Tv? Genius !! March 2010 We are honored to have been part of the new legacy of this space. We don't know how you did it, but you've managed to create a place that EVERYONE passing through regards as HOME ! This floors us the most. December 2009  "My brother and I had so much fun. We saw deer go in front of our car. We also saw tons of turkeys, at least 50 ! Thank you so much for letting my family stay. Jan 08 It is very easy to find your "center" here - and you realize how far from center you have been ! July 07 Your sense of style and comfort are exactly what we needed. From the dimmed lights and soft music playing before we walked in to your welcome smiles as we checked in - it was perfect ! Mar 08 We had a wonderful evening listening to the wind howl as it came over the ridge. There was midnight moonlight bright enough to light the porch and we sat outside until neither of us could stay awake any longer. The bed was amazing ! Mar 08 Our sister reunion was one of Beauty, (this home is magnificent) Healing, (long talks into the evening on the porch) Laughter, (playing games} Health, (daily walks in nature) Thoughtful Discussions, (question cards) and so much more... Thank you for making this such an inviting - welcome - agape place. July 08 "Beautiful" isn't strong enough. "Magnificent" is too pretentious. Let's just say that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and found ourselves wishing that our two brief nights had ---- somehow magically turned into a week. Alas... Jan 07 The building is a delight to be in and, as always, reflects the energies and ideals of its creators. We have had so much pleasure from meeting you. We have gotten so much more than we could ever had expected from our visit. Oct 06 As I gaze out the window at the beautiful view, I realize what a treasure I have found. You have created a space where old and new have joined with magnificent detail. A place where people can come to clear out their heads and open their hearts. A place where one can realize what is truly important. Feb 07 We would have had no idea prior to coming of how magical, sacred and special our experience would be here in the Artists' Loft ! This has been like no other. Feb 07 Many thanks, once again, for providing a special environment to better explore the wonder of beauty and mystery of the universe a reverence for life -- human dignity -- and the practice of love.
