Our grandson, Cohen, is 2 1/2 years old and just had a blast playing in the small creek by the cottage. I have attached pictures of him playing in the creek. It was truly a relaxing and peaceful three day stay.<br /><pre><br /></pre><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6059745758404282096-8384383756378122261?l=koinaniacottage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Koinania Valley Ranchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03299829829254929200noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059745758404282096.post-32970039669601187092008-06-04T19:16:00.000-07:002008-06-04T19:19:31.502-07:00We needed some time away and we came to Koinania for some peace and joy.

Here are comments from our on-site guestbook.....<br />We came with some friends for a moms &amp; daughters retreat and it was great! We had some R&amp;R and a lot of fun experiences different from city life. Can't wait to bring back the rest of the family.<br />Michelle and Holly<br />St Louis, MO<br /><br />The girls and the moms had a great time, as always. We can't wait to come back when it is warmer so we can explore some more. I couldn't believe how much fun the girls had, considering the weather.<br />Dawn<br />St Louis, MO<br /><br />I had a wonderful time petting the horses and I loved every bit of it&amp; I really, really want to come back!<br />Dawn's daughter<br /><br />Dear Mary, Thank you for the hospitality and the great food.

It was wonderful! My husband had recently returned from a 15 month deployment to Iraq and so the time together was especially wonderful there because we felt like we were the only ones around. It was so cozy and quaint! A place to just sit back and enjoy nature! A great vacation from the stress of life!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6059745758404282096-7324249234334165929?l=koinaniacottage.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Koinania Valley Ranchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03299829829254929200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059745758404282096.post-85174085325614030352008-06-01T16:18:00.000-07:002008-06-01T16:25:30.344-07:00Duane and Mary, We SO enjoyed our stay in the cabin by the lake! I loved it the minute I walked in! It is so sweet and tidy and homey. And the view! To wake in the morning and sit on the deck overlooking the lake was wonderful! We had fun watching the turtles playing on the trees (in the water) and falling into the lake. It was a wonderful, peaceful retreat. We've always enjoyed staying at Koinania with lots of people, but for a couple's getaway, the 'cabin by the lake' is perfect! Thanks again!

My family has visited Koinania Cottage 2 years now. We have loved it. My kids have loved the kittens, the little play cabin, the creek nearby, fishing and some fun stuff in the area. Below is my daughter Daisy in the play cabin.
