We enjoyed our evening in Scottsville. The breakfast was excellent. I think the price was a bit high, but we did have a quiet nice evening. The owners were very kind and accomodating. Loved the satin sheets!

Charming older home, the room was a little small but the bathroom was huge! Breakfast at the owners' coffee shop was excellent--ordered off the menu. A neighborly, friendly, small town kind of place. We enjoyed strolling around the village--very pretty.

We needed a place to stay after a beautiful country wedding nearby and the Guesthouse suited our needs just fine! The rooms are all very clean and the decor is warm and welcoming! The following morning we enjoyed a good hearty cup of coffee and breakfast at the coffee house. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again, Carl and Rachel, for the use of your lovely home!

We enjoyed a well equiped room,large bath, and the quiet atmosphere of a small town. We actually looked forward each day to the short walk down the picture perfect street to the Cafe for breakfast. The owners also run a Artisan Cafe with a healthy menu that is also very tasty. The busy owners are also at he Cafe at times to care for you there also. They will become as family if you are there and enjoy being taken care of.

Need to get away for a while? Feeling the pressures of a tightening a economy? Look no further! Beautiful Valley is great. My wife and I spent one night here and we enjoyed ourselves. There is a beautiful walking path not far for running or jogging. The breakfast was great and the room was very clean. This is not pampered service. Stay here for a nice time but don't expect four-star treatment or amenities. Have fun!

Owner very nice but didn't live at the Inn, so we felt a bit abandoned. I didn't realize it was a "self-serve" experience.
Innkeeper Response
As this is a Guesthouse and NOT an Inn, we offer ideal accommodations in that guests have the privacy of their own space with minimal noise, etc., away from our 2 small children, because we do live off-site. We are always available via phone and guests are free to contact us at any time. For those seeking accommodations where we live and an in-house breakfast, we provide this with the King Suite at our Rochester Street property. We also offer a unique option to our guests in that we supply a Full Service Breakfast at our Artisan Coffeehouse just down the street, which we also own/operate. Breakfast options are a choice of Gourmet Breakfast Sandwiches, Pastries, Cappuchinos/Lattes/Coffee/Tea, Fruit Juice, Oatmeal/Cereal. Coffee and tea service are always provided in the Guesthouse dining room at any time. We are currently in the process of updating our website to reflect all our unique accommodations and the various choices we provide each guest, according to their needs.

My husband and I spent the evening in the inn in the Rupert Suite, which has a very comfortable bed and a nice whirlpool bath-tub (we did not experience any dripping issues). As mentioned in other reviews, we had minimal contact with the innkeepers, but we didn't mind because we were looking for privacy and I am from Scottsville, so we know the town. The breakfast at the Artisan Cafe was very good (we each had a delicious egg sandwich, muffin, juice, and latte).

The location is very nice in the village. Unfortunately there is not much to do/see in Scottsville and it is a bit of a drive to stores, museums and the college our son attends. It was a bit odd staying at a BandB that doesnt have an innkeeper in the traditional sense. The house was empty except for us and it felt awkward being there without any staff. We went to the library a few doors down to ask for suggestions for dinner and directions. There is no computer at the inn. (the site says there is). We found a much more traditional BandB and stayed there for the remainder of our stay.

This was the first time we stayed at a bed and breakfast we both loved our stay and would absolutely go back. The breakfast was fantastic. We felt very comfortable right at home we went down to the common room and watched a movie. We also took advantage of the massage service they offered that was wonderful the perfect little extra to our stay
4.2 on November 06, 2011
The place was lovely, clean and well kept. Traveling with a one year old, we found the place safe and easy to give her comfortably free reign of the place. Based on conversations with the keepers, we felt that had we needed it, the service level would have been excellent - but we found the place perfectly as we expected and didn't call on them for anything.

We were greeted when we arrived and spent about 10 minutes at the most with Rachel. She was lovel and very accomodating, the room was clean, as were the common areas. Two complaints about the room - need a small seating area or easy chait/rocker. Only place to sit is on the bed or in hard desk chair. Also there were no instructions for the whirlpool tub and we found that it slowly leaks water so it had to be constantly refilled. Because the owners do not live on site many things were not clear to us and I missed that personal attention to detail and the interaction with our hosts. Who is responsible for turning off lights at night? Should the doors be locked? They were left on all night and the hall light shined under our door. We did not want to turn them off for fear the other guests were not in for the night. The outer doors to the establishment were always unlocked which as another reviewer mentioned was a bit unsettling. It was advertised that a computer was available for our use and therefore we did not bring our laptop. We did not locate any computer for guest use in the upstairs lounge area as advertised. We were told just order off the menu at the Artesan Coffeehouse but that was not true. There were limits to what you could order. The food was good but having to pay extra to have breakfast at the Guesthouse is inconvenient. Although I prefer some eggs and meat for breakfast I would certainly forgo that if a variety of the fresh pastries, muffins, scones and fresh fruit were provided at the Guesthouse. It was a lovely stay and we will probably be back. However if you choose a B&B to get recommendations on local attractions, great restaurants, and general information on the area this is not the one for you due to the absent owners.

This turned out to be a very pleasant and welcoming place. The "breakfast" is actually your choice of breakfast sandwiches at a nearby coffee house, which was delicious. Highly recommended.
4.6 on August 17, 2011
I had a long drive and needed someplace to stop. Also wanted to avoid corporate motels and not spend too much money. Rachel offered me a bunk in a small room with a gorgeous bathroom and my needs were met. Scottsville is a small, sweet town and the Artisan Coffee House, where the breakfast was served down the road, was the perfect antidote to a Starbucks. The staff worked with my food issues and gave me a delicious breakfast each day. I will probably need to make this drive again and will definitely stay again at this place!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Beautiful Valley Guesthouse. It was my husband's birthday, and we wished to visit our daughter and her family in the Rochester area. Everything was provided for our stay. The house is immaculate and welcoming. It is a large space for two people with lovely furnishings, many of which are antiques. We did make use of the computer, and the grandchildren found the toys upstairs. Breakfast can be had in the house or at the coffee shop, a short walk from the Guesthouse. It was a very relaxing stay. We would definitely return to Beautiful Valley Guesthouse.

There were just a few rooms in the building we were in so it was pretty quiet and relaxing. The owners are very friendly and accommodating.

My fiance and I, first time bed-and-breakfasters, stayed in the Rupert Suite (with whirlpool tub) for a get-away over New Years' and enjoyed it thoroughly. Rachel and Carl were very welcoming and we felt right at home. We loved the whirlpool and were impressed with the attention to detail in the bathroom and bedroom. The common space of the house is well-furnished, although in the future it would be nice to have a desk or table upstairs in the room with the computer station in order to play board games or do writing/work. Breakfast was nothing too special, but there was a good variety. I only regret that we did not get the chance to chat much with Rachel and Carl, but we will definitely be back! It was exactly the restful, relaxing environment we had imagined for our weekend away.
3.4 on December 13, 2010
My only concern with the stay is that I was literally the only person in the open-to-the-public facility. There was nothing alarming per se and the area was nice and seemingly quiet, but it was a strange feeling
Innkeeper Response
Beautiful Valley Guesthouse is located in a quiet village setting and we do everything we can to offer private accommodations for each of our guests. Typically guests who visit on weekdays are able to enjoy full & exclusive use of the guesthouse. We seek to supply our guests with a home environment and comfortable restful setting for their travels.

Comfy, full of nice extras like DVDs, a piano, travel brochures, etc. Even if you stayed in all day, you'd never be bored. Lovely stay! Will be back
4.8 on October 11, 2010
Our overnight 4-day stay was delightful. This B&B is nestled near Rochester, NY with a bike/walking trail nearby. The innkeepers did a wonderful job restoring the old 1880 house & provide a delicious breakfast. We plan on returning.

Carl & Rachel go above & beyond to accommodate your needs.
3.2 on September 28, 2010
Was exactly what I was looking for. I'd recommend to a friend and would certainly come back again if ever I was in the area. My stay was conducive to doing exactly what I needed to do: having quiet time to get some work done while visiting a family member in the area. Great place. Lots of really unique details made it homey.
4.4 on August 02, 2010
Not only the valley is beautiful but the guesthouse too! Very pretty and well decorated with much care put in every detail - very clean - a home away from home.
4.2 on June 02, 2010
We were greeted by Rachel, and given a tour. Our Bedroom was immaculate and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. All with a wonderful homey atmosphere.... I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast.
4.6 on January 26, 2010
My wife and I stayed in the Rupert Suite, which includes a queen size bed and an attached, private bathroom with jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The room itself was spacious and well decorated. We were able to bring our two dogs and there was plenty of room for them and all of our stuff. The bed itself was very comfortable and I slept great, which doesn't always happen when I travel. The best feature was the jacuzzi tub. It was huge and there was plenty of hot water. It was snowing on one of the nights and the view through the skylight was very romantic. The only reason I didn't mark "Outstanding" for service and dining was because we were there during the week and they only offered a continental breakfast, although that was quite good.

My husband and I chose to stay here to celebrate our anniversary and we couldn't have been happier! The home was beautifully decorated, very clean, and the hosts couldn't do enough to make us comfortable. Breakfast was warm and delicious with many choices. There were even drinks and small snacks available throughout the day. The bed was very comfortable with luxurious sheets, and the jacuzzi was awesome. The small town was cozy and good food is within walking distance. We plan to go back again and recommend it!

This is the second year in a row I have stayed at Beautiful Valley for a hockey tournament in Scottsville. The inn keepers are wonderful in working with my schedule, and having enough water and juice in stock in the fridge for me. Also, the breakfasts all complement what I need in order to be successful during a hard and physical weekend. Each day there is a very wonderful breakfast with fruit, proteins and carbohydrates. It is just a wonderful way to start the day no matter if you are playing hard or just relaxing. I have only stayed in the Rupert suite and love how much room there is. The bathroom is very large, has a separate jaquizi and shower, perfect for sore muscles or just to freshen up. Also, the inn keepers accommodated my schedule in terms of allowing me to check in early on my arrival date, and check out late on my departure date. I can't wait for the next time I need to visit Rochester, or have another game in Scottsville.

We stayed at Beautiful Valley Guesthouse in Scottsville a few weeks ago when we spent the weekend at my in-laws! This place is not like any old place. First, if you have ever watched the show Gilmore Girls the village of Scottsville is Stars Hallow. The inn is great too. It is run by a young, warm and gracious married couple. The place is immaculately clean. We were there for a weekend so we had the weekend breakfast...AMAZING!!!! They gave my husband and I enough eggs, bacon, sausage, yogurt, fresh picked raspberrys, and AWESOME french toast for 8 people. Overall a great place to stay!

The historic décor was warm and welcoming. The dining area has a great arrangement where guests can access drinks and snacks at any time. It was a very pleasant and restful stay!

St. Armands Key Lutheran announces official pastor
Date: July 22, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Approximately four years ago, the Rev. Mark Bernthal officiated a wedding at St. Armands Key Lutheran Church. As he and his wife, Cyndi, a registered nurse, walked through the church grounds, they discussed the church's beauty and its unique location on St. Armands Circle and joked about how nice it would be to serve at a church just like it.
Now, Bernthal is about to find out. After a year-long search process, the congregation of St. Armands Key Lutheran Church voted unanimously to elect Bernthal as pastor, a position which he has accepted.
Bernthal, a native of Winter Haven, holds a Master of Divinity degree from Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, in Columbia, S.C. He is currently pastor at Lamb of God Lutheran Church, in Haines City, a congregation he helped found when he became its mission developer in late 1989.
Having served at Lamb of God for the past 20 years, Bernthal admits that saying goodbye will be difficult.
"As exciting as it is to anticipate a new beginning, it's really hard to bring closure," he said.
Bernthal's current church is similar to St. Armands Key Lutheran Church, with a seasonal congregation of approximately 530, compared to St. Armands Key Lutheran's peak of 600.
Bernthal will move to Sarasota in mid-August. He and his wife have a family of five children ranging in ages from 8 to 22.
The Rev. Eric Wogen served as pastor of St. Armands Key Lutheran Church from 2000 until his retirement last June. The Rev. Mark Hillmer served as interim pastor until July 5. Supply pastors will fill in until Bernthal starts.
"It's going to be good for us," said Lynn Blackledge, council president of the church. "Every time someone new comes, it takes us in new directions."

The Kingdom and the Beauty
"In an industry not noted for career longevity, movie mogul Sir Run Run Shaw … has set a gold standard for durability. Truly the last of the titans, Shaw was born when cinema was in its infancy. His own life and career grew alongside movies' evolution from the black-and-white silents to today's global media industry. …Most of the world will always remember him for the films that entertained mass audiences and influenced important filmmakers throughout the 20th century." — Roger Garcia
Set in Imperial China, THE KINGDOM AND THE BEAUTY is a gorgeous musical-drama directed by Li Han-hsiang (THE LAST TEMPEST,1976). In this epic tale of a Chinese emperor in love with a country maiden, we are treated to dazzling musical numbers, top-notch acting and cinematography.

A few years ago, my daughter was doing some part-time online teaching at Gotham Writers' Workshop and found out that she got a free class for every class she taught. She asked if she could give it to her mom and they agreed.
I had quit practicing law at the time and had opened a used bookstore that found me surrounded by writers and with quite a bit of extra time. The class sounded like it might be fun, although I balked at the possibility of being taught by my daughter. When she assured me this wouldn't be the case, I climbed on board.
Our first assignment was to write a short introductory paragraph. As best I recall, my introduction went something like this:
My daughter gave me this class for a Chrsitmas present because she thinks I like to write. She's only half right. The truth is that what I really like is to be done with writing. To have something that I've written that I can go back to later and read. To have an idea pop into my head and for the words to flow. It doesn't happen often.
The truth was that it hadn't happened in years. When my kids were little, my sister and I wrote short essays about our kids and sent them to each other through the U.S. mail. I go back to those pages occassionally and they always take me to a place I've forgotten, but like to visit--a sort of time capsule at my fingertips. Unfortunately, they also make it appear that my kids aged out of being cute or interesting or the center of my world at about the ages 10 and 7 since that's when all writing stopped.
For the next 15 years, whatever writing I did was to an audience of lawyers and judges. And, to the extent that I enjoyed any success at that, it was mainly because I was good at "getting to the point" and giving the judges just a few pages to read rather than the 20 that most attorneys handed over.
I credit my succinctness to an old philosophy professor whose one rule was that we couldn't hand anything in that was longer than one typed page. It forced me to organize ideas and thoughts, to get to the point, and to leave out extraneous verbiage.
Imagine my surprise when my instructor started telling me she'd like to hear more of my story and not just my conclusion. When she started talking about things like the important "descriptive detail" and "voice" and "dialogue." When she started asking me to show rather than to tell.
I plodded along, skipping some assignments, turning others in late, reluctantly crossing out the adverbs that helped raise my word count, not reaching the 3,000 words that were suggested for our last piece, and always being relieved to be "done." Although also happy to have a finished written product at my fingertips.
Sometime later, my daughter joined the foreign service, I quit being the beneficiary of free classes, and I stopped writing. Again.
Until I ran across Open Salon.
I don't remember how I got here, but my guess is that my daughter "liked" a post, I saw it on my Facebook page and wandered over.
It wasn't long before I pulled out one of those late assignments, pasted it up and pressed "publish." Like most maiden posts, it was mainly ignored, lost among the better writers and the recognized names. It didn't help that I didn't have an avatar and that "religion" was in the title. I was low on the learning curve.
Still, I got two rates and one comment. (Thank you, Helvetica). It was more than enough to keep me going.
I'm not a deep thinker like some here. Nor am I a poet, an artist, or someone who can turn a phrase into a thing of beauty. I don't have any grand passions and, luckily, have lived a mainly happy life on a fairly even keel. I'll never have as much to say or be as proific as Con Chapman no matter how quick I am to say "done."
But I am somewhat of a plodder and met my own personal goal of writing at least one post a week. As I look back at nearly a years worth of writing, I'm as amazed by the trail I've created as I am by what I read here every day.
My kids have now appropriately aged on paper well beyond their early childhoods. I've revisited and recalled things about my own childhood that I had forgotten. I've left bread crumbs showing the way of my political leanings, my everyday life, and at least a peek into my thoughts and who I am. My time capsule is getting full.
I still like to be "done" with writing and am often too quick to press "publish" without going back and rereading and rewriting.
I know that's part of the process, but I'm always a little too happy to have written anything at all. Being "done" and having those finished products is a large part of letting me think of myself as a writer. Only gradually have I found myself enjoying the writing part too.
This post started out as a one year anniversary post--a sort of thank you to Open Salon and all the readers and writers who've inspired me with their own writings and who've kept me going with some recognition for my own.
Unfortunately, when I looked back at my old posts I realized that my anniversary is actually November 23rd instead of the October 23rd date that I remembered.
This post is a month early.
But darn it, it's "done."
So here's to more years for OS and for us, and may the gremlins and spammers begone, and the editor be around.
writing since age 4. to say you are not
a deep thinker is like
socrates sayin he is the wisest man
cuz he knows nothing.
or like emily dickinson hiding all those weird poems in a box.
i too had an old philosophy prof. his name was john jacobs.
i was 18. guy had studied his stuff. he was 75.
he was german. he said,
"you! james. lucky. you are, you can concentrate. sit and think. ya?"
"mm hm."
guy looked like a seriously decrepit and dissolute john paul II.
he taught me how to think. and when he found out
that by some damn miracle i could ALREADY think, he fostered it.
He was a bit of a mystic.
~Imagine my surprise when my instructor started telling me she'd like to hear more of my story and not just my conclusion.
(cuz yer thoughtwaves are somehow special & gotta be spilled, gal)
When she started talking about things like the important "descriptive detail" and "voice" and "dialogue." When she started asking me to show rather than to tell.
I plodded along, skipping some assignments
i dropped out of college. too much else to read. the stuff
the instructors knew not of.
but johnny gave me the brainfire to understand it.
and the courage.
Seriously! It's not easy getting in anymore, but I'm willing to wait because I like walking into your bookstore. I know I will always find something interesting to read.
I'll keep swinging 'round because I know you'll be here with some gorgeous little package for me.
JL, I remain your fan,
I hope you all forgive me for my outside any mainstream ideas. My belligerent personality. I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I just grew up in a situation with a lot of screaming and yelling and beating and stuff like that, so I admit that I have a combative personality. I'm aware of it and getting better.
I am very interested in post about writing, because I can't afford to go to school, I am learning by trial and error and the example of other writers.
Not true, counselor. And this essay of yours proves it. All the best...
