What
a great way to ring in the New Year!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The girls
especially loved petting the miniature horses. We felt very much at home. David
and I both agree that this was definitely a well needed relaxing weekend and we
were thankful to have found CornerStone Farm for our stay.David, Tammy,

Year's Eve 2005 What a great time - thanks so much for the anniversary
basket, but most of all your warm hospitality and good food, extended above and
beyond in Jesus' name. May God bless you in your stewardship of His gifts and
enlarge your ministry - you are already doing wonders in His name - giving people
a glimpse of what it was like before the fall and what it will be like again when
we are fully reconciled and in His full, healed world. Blessings! keep on!Hank

December 2005 Awesome! Hospitality, warmth,
food & more food, delicious. Love to be back with nature. Rest, relaxing,
smells (of all types) were very welcomed. The best vacation we had for some time.
God does send us to meet some great people along our journey in life. You two
& Ted were the best. In the deepest appreciation and heartfelt thanks, we
had a wonderful time. God's peace & blessing aboundDave & Pat, Baltimore,

November 2005 This has been a wonderful experience
for city dwellers like us. We particularly enjoyed the little tour around the
farm and meeting all the animals. Euan was especially thrilled to see the animals
up close and to be able to pat them. Thank you Ward and Barb for your warm hospitality,
great food and a great stay. God bless both of you.Jean and Family, Singapore

October 2005 Thank you so much for making
my stay so wonderful. I felt more like family than a guest. I'm so sorry my husband
was called away and couldn't make it. Just means we'll have to schedule another
trip! Hooray! Barb, thanks so much for letting me spend time with the goats. Please
ignore the hoof sticking out of my suitcase! Ward, thanks for the lovely time
fishing. Next time I'll leave you at the house and maybe I'll catch something!!
Thanks again to you both.Christy, Richmond, VA -----

hospitality! We loved staying at your farm! It provided the perfect "escape"
for us after a very busy couple months! The room was comfortable and the meals

like us! Thank you so much, Ward, for the nature walks and getting us started
with our bird and butterfly watching! We hope to continue it when we get back
home! Your sensitivity, Barb and Ward, to us and graciousness are so appreciated!!David

This is a great farm and has allowed us a great family vacation. We enjoyed all
the farm chores. Cid will never forget "the big one" he caught in the

2005 We had a great time. This was our first B&B experience
and it set a high standard. Ward and Barb make your stay feel like you were visiting
family instead of an unsocial hotel stay. The house pets were "lap pets"and
all the "kid" goats, 29 of them, wanted all your attention. The horses
really made my wife happy. For those who fish, we caught the little ones, but
saw several 2 - 3 foot bass. We left them for you to try to catch.Kristan

2005 Good Morning Ward and Barb. We want to thank you for a wonderful
stay at CornerStone Farm. Our tour at Cardinal was very interesting and informative.
I think that David & Linda are now ready to make a decision on a builder for their
new home. After a stop for lunch and a shopping stop at Costco in Greensboro we
had an easy drive home. We recommended your B&B to the people at Cardinal in the
event they have inquiries about a place to stay. You might want to drop off a
few brochures at their office. May God be with you as you pursue this career change.

It was a great trip. We
were treated like family from the moment our feet hit the ground there at CornerStone
Farm. You truly have a piece of heaven carved out there. Philip and I both enjoyed
different things about the farm. I was crazy about the animals, and wish I could
have stayed longer. Those goats are great little creatures!!! Mr. Kitty (ground
hog) is as cute as cute can get. I researched a little to save you some time.
Try this web site www.hoghaven.com/gfaq.htm It has lots of info. Hope Kitty makes
CornerStone his home for life too. We will be keeping in touch and hope to be
back soon. Take care. We loved it thereKay and Philip, Richmond, VA -----

May 2005 For our trip from middle TN to Delaware,
we needed a stopover point with horse-boarding facilities. CornerStone provided
a convenient layover in quiet surroundings. Barb and Ward moved their horses around
to accommodate our colt. We appreciate their hospitality and willingness to board
a young stallion. Their human accommodations and meals were equally impressive.Andra

a wonderful time! You taught us a lot about the goats and we look forward to learning
more from you. We had a blast doing the chores - I just hope the girls still enjoy
it when we get our goats. We look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks.
We also look forward to meeting Ward. We treasure our new friendship. Thank You!Cali,

2005 Only God could have arranged our stay here. After a couple
of hours of going in circles, we found you in a booklet given to us by another

"completion" in the bible) in such privacy and hospitality and with
a delicious breakfast could only have been improved on if we had more time!God
bless you all and your efforts! Hope to see you soon! Thank you for taking us

January 2005 My wife and I wanted to get away
for our 3rd anniversary; my wife found CornerStone Farm on-line and we came to
agreement this is where we were going. The night we arrived, it was the best hospitality
you could get. From dinner and all the rest of the meals, they were excellent,
and you never leave hungry. The activities from feeding the goats animal crackers
or milking the goats, my wife thought was the best ever, to going horse back riding
through trails and scenes that words couldn't describe. CornerStone Farm, if you
enjoy nature, animals, and food; there's no place anywhere else in Virginia.Richard
