Frank and Tommie Ashley, Alabaster, AL

Keeping with our tradition, good sports, Frank and Tommie Ashley from Alabaster, Alabama let us take pictures of them in the big chair and at the kissing tree. What would a visit to the secret bed withou that experience?

I loved what Frank said when I ask if he wanted to have is picture made at the kissing tree. He said, "I'll never turn down a chance to get a kiss."

Men! I do believe all you guys think alike.

David and Eila Maddox Happy 34th Anniversary!

David and Eila,

Thanks so much for celebrating your 34th anniversary at the secret. We had such a wonderful time meeting and taking with you guys. It's exciting to think that one day we might be neighbors -- sort of!

Take care and we hope to see you again someday.

Diann & Carl

Dewayne and Whitney Peppers, Jacksons Gap, AL

Rarely does a picture capture the personality of the people in the picture. These cutie-pies are just as precious as the picture shows them to be!!!

If you guys ever "escape" from your adorable three daughters again, please call us. Keep in mind how beautiful a canyon ride will be in the fall of the year. Gotcha, huh?

Whitney, did our prayers work? Did the rain hold out until you got home?

Do come see us again someday. C & D

The Plummers - Part I - Happy 50th Anniversary

It isn't hard to understand why Cora has been so happily married. Many years ago Jerry started this beautiful heirloom necklace for Cora. Each year he added a diamond. Guess what was added to the heart this year? Isn't it absolutely beautiful. Guys, take notes. This might be one of the "secrets" to a happy marriage. Anyone who is around Jerry and Cora for even a few minutes will know they are happily married.


A heart necklace to celebrate 50 wonderful years and picture with a heart (look at the moss on the rock). Perfect!

Wishing you guys the best always! Diann & Carl

Jerry and Cora Plummer, Cullman, AL Happy 50th Anniversary!!!

Last year Jerry and Cora celebrated their 49th anniversary at the secret. This year their children gave them a gift certificate to the secret, a celebration reception and much, much more to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary!

Lucky US! To be around a couple that has survived 50 wonderful years is so much fun!

See you guys at the next 50th! Diann & Carl

Daryl and Tracy Shaver, Hayden Al Happy 1st!

Caught ya! Ain't love grand?

This is what owning a bed and breakfast is ALLL about! Daryl surprised Tracy last year by choosing the secret for their honeymoon. She had no idea where she was going when Daryl brought her back this year to reminisce about their honeymoon. How sweet!

Adding to the fun is the fact that the Plummers where here last year celebrating their 49th anniversary. They returned this year, the same weekend!

Jay and Robin Denton Happy 25th Anniversary

This was a truly blessed weekend for us. To meet and enjoy the fellowship of this dynamic couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary was a wonderful experience for everyone. We loved the talks, the laughs at the table and the sweet spirit you two brought with you. Thank you, Robin and Jay, for choosing the secret for this special anniversary!!!
