Hope springs eternal even in summer heat

Our 2 bedroom cottage plays host to some of our FAVORITE guests.... the ones with delightful children who love and respect the nature of the area. These two are absolutely adorable!
This is also a picture of our last weekend visitors. Sometimes you people see things that even I haven't seen or noticed in a while. Thank you!
Even in the dog days of summer heat... there are surprisingly lovely and peaceful things available to us here at the GATEWAY. We love having pictures from our visitors!

VIDEOS of the cottages........................... be patient, it is my first try at this!

Through the wheat gold door of the 1 bedroom cottage, you will find a restful setting in the soft


hues of sky blue and sage green.


Peace will be the word that encompasses your senses as you ascend the steps to the covered front porches of this little cottage on our hillside.




As you enter the fox red door of the 2 bedroom cottage, you will find much the same feel as it's sister cottage. The cares of the world will drop off as you open the little side gate into the the fenced yard with a naturalized landscape. The living area of this cottage is done in caramel and rust with sage as the accent hue.


The green bedroom offers the same incredible night's sleep as all our bedrooms here at the GateWay. You'll fall asleep quickly under silky soft sheets, or simply sit in the leather chair watching the wildlife just outside the large windows of the room.


The red bedroom has windows all around the beautiful old fashioned bed. It has a reading


chair as well so that you can relax in the comfort of


your own space even if the rest of your party prefers gathering and sharing hearts.






I pray that as you view these videos you get a glimpse of what I see. We'd love for you to experience this place first hand, but if you are like myself, having a bit of prior knowledge of my accommodations is a real plus to my booking that place.


Enjoy,


and know that you are seeing places where divine appointments have been arranged by bookings bigger than those we could make!


Blessings over you and yours this day, July 2008!

Stay on the right side of the Cross! Summer '08 pictures and videos

As you drive up our country road you will see the cross to your left...
we tell everyone... "stay on the right side of the cross"
(good advice in the physical as well as the spiritual!)
Outside the porch fence of the 2 bedroom is our fragrant long blooming lavendar... as well as "words" everywhere....some are hidden, some are not... but all have significance in our lives and we hope for yours as well.
The back bedroom of the 2 bedroom cottage is our red room. Although the color is vibrant, the room exudes comfort and solace.
The front bedroom of the 2 bedroom cottage is a soft sage green and offers views from 2 sets of windows onto the meadow below the area and up the hillside from where the deer daily emerge.
Our gardens are filled with xeric plants like salvia, buddelia (dark knight), and cosmos,that attract hummingbirds and butterflies for these lazy warm summer afternoons.
