Appreciating the Priceless Gift
For more than 40 years, our second home has been Valley View Hot Springs and OLT.

Recently, in an Orient Land Trust (OLT) External Affairs Committee meeting, we were discussing a topic that has been on the minds of…

Stay Vigilant
Valley View has been open for seven weeks. The plan seems to be working fairly well. Having a reduced capacity makes it feel spacious and relaxed.
