Good Morning World~How do you do!!!


Twin Valley Ranch has a 27 year tradition of greeting the morning off the front porch of the lodge, overlooking the beautiful Chilhowee mountain range!

My late husband, Tip, started this when we first built the lodge in the 80's.
Greet the morning, holler real loud, blow the horn and big shell and wake up all the neighbors!
AND listen..............sometimes we get an answer.

I been told that you can hear the echo all across the valley up to 2 miles! YES, that is good.

"get out of bed , right now." The beautiful morning and day is awaiting YOU.

The mountain is different each morning. Sometimes foggy, clear or under snow. Never the same............just enjoy God's creation and feel his presence all around.

So now........we continue Tip's tradition and share it with folks from all over the country and world. Some folks have even continued the tradition off their front porches! Some of those "sub-division" neighbors just do not seem to see the sense of this! Oh well........We know.

Come join us in greeting the morning............

Good Morning World~How do you do!
Get out of bed right now!!!!!!!!! woooohooooo.
