”Especially at sunset, there’s something magical about this place! You leave busy High Street and enter another world of fairytale stone houses, winding roads, massive old trees, woods and streams, and deer who seem unafraid of human visitors. There’s a hush broken only by the call of birds, offering a respite from the urban scene just outside its borders.” – Joan Lopate

“The original Maenorchor is in the process of being remodeled and converted into office space. Lehman Daman is doing the remodel. The plan is to preserve a lot of the historic features of the original building then add a modern addition that would compliment the original structure. Great news is Valter’s is still open for business right next door!” – Denver Boling
