| Lory Cottage - 2 Bedroom w/central A/C - Warfordsburg Vacation Rentals Pennsylvania Vacation Lodging |
Our cottage vacation getaway is located down a country lane and behind a locked gate, nestled deep in a quiet valley near rural Warfordsburg, Pa. The peaceful surroundings give no hint to the activity and attractions that lie in the surrounding area.
Fully furnished and beautifully decorated, our cottages have an atmosphere that many guests say makes them feel at home. A stay at one of our cottages can be busy and exciting, or relaxing and peaceful.... the choice is up to you.
The surrounding property has numerous trails, from simple to more strenuous, for you to explore. The lake, which is just a nice stroll away, is well stocked for the fisherman, and has a dock, and a floating dock....a perfect place to read or write or just daydream. Bikes are provided should you prefer biking, rather than walking, to the lake for a peaceful afternoon.
The spacious decks and french doors of Francena give an open feel to the outdoors, the cozy porch at Sophronia is perfect for bird watching and conversation, and Lory is located all alone, right at the lake.
If you prefer cooking in to eating out, our kitchens are well equipped for the average cook or the chef at heart. Campfire areas at each cottage provide a great place to toast marshmallows, and have a great time laughing with that special someone or friends and family.
Each season here has its own special surprises awaiting you. Come and see what we mean when we say - "Green Valley, A Very Special Place."

From Our Guestbooks at Green Valley - March 30, 2005 :
It's a lovely, cool, sunny day in our charming woodland retreat. Once, many years ago, I owned a cabin in the woods in Md. and had to give it up for many reasons. I dream of it still. This cottage reminds me of all the best memories of my early adulthood.
So quiet, so tranquil. This is a blessed, enchanted place, out of time. My husband and I and our small dog, all enjoy the natural setting. We hope to return soon. Thank you, for sharing the magic with us.
It's almost time to return home, but I will keep Green Valley in my heart, comforted by knowing it is here waiting for our return again in the near future. The lake, the woods, the creek, the bluebirds, all the creatures of the forest...We have found and experienced a profound peace here...enjoyed by the three of us...such comfort, so much lovliness, we are grateful for this discovery....Until we meet again.
