From the Secret Garden Inn & Spa newsletter, reprinted with Jacob’s permission. Secret Garden will be closing its doors on November 30, 2009:

Farewell and thank you!

The time has come to bid farewell!  The Secret Garden Inn and Spa will close its doors permanently on November 30th of this year.  We have touched over 8,000 people in the four plus years we have been open.

Beginning January 1st, 2010, the property will be used as a recovery home for professional women who have gone through treatment for alcohol or drug addiction, and are now seeking a safe living environment to transition back into main stream society.

My intention with this property was to create a peaceful, healing environment, and I am very pleased that it will continue to be just that for these women.

I will remain in the area working as a real estate broker.  Please contact me if I can be of service.  I have attached the contact information for our therapists whom you have all grown to know so well.

My gratitude goes out to each and every one of you for your love and support!

Best regards,
Jacob Lions
