Ivory & Amie Dotson, Huntsville, Al

Ivory just graduated from college so he and Amie were celebrating at the secret. Amie, you are next!

Congrat's Ivory!

Who eats left over pancakes at the secret???

Next to our guests, I guess General Lee is the next in line for Carl's pancakes. He loves them.

I wanted my grandchildren to remember their grandmother was from the south so I named Carl's donkeys (male) General Lee, (three females) Miss Dixie, Miss Scarlett and Miss Savannah.

Then there's the chickens! The chickens (to the left) have feathers on their legs and feet. They are very pet-friendly chickens.

Harmony at it's best. These animals have it made. They live at a bed and breakfast!

The Barlow's from Rome, Ga

What a great couple! Thanks for choosing the secret for your special get-a-way. Leah, he did great at the kissing tree. Lucky YOU! Diann

A Gift from Jeremy & Jen Pease Prattville, AL

Jeremy and Jen spent a romantic evening in the Treehouse. Upon leaving, Jeremy (Airforce) said, "I left you something in the Treehouse." Then he pulled out a little green soldier and told me he had left two in the Treehouse. We built the Treehouse for the young-at-heart. Jeremy certainly fits that description! Hope to see you two again someday!

Scott & Karen Mann McCalla, AL

They said the third time is the charm, but the fourth time to stay at the secret might be pretty hard to beat. Scott spoiled Karen with a surprise, return visit to the secret. They've stayed in the Sugar Shack, then the Treehouse, then, when expecting Cody, the Nautical Cottage and this visit, yep....the Jail House. Ok, kids...next time....the lake house!!!

Hope to see you again someday!

Happy birthday, girl!

Ray and Ellen Welsh Pensacola, Fl

What a wonderful 4 days we've shared with our now, new found friends, Ellen and Ray. What sweethearts they are. Ray makes fountain pens out of deer antlers. He gave me one! Then, he had one sent to Carl that he made from a rifle (I think) bullet. The pens are beautiful and write like a dream. Thank you, Ellen and Ray, not only for your generosity but also for the laughter and conversations we enjoyed. We hope to see you guys again someday; if not here, at the beach!

Rosalyn and JoAnn, the Birthday Girl!
