Can you imagine living in a school bus? What if it looked like this?



Come to think of it, this looks a lot nicer than my first apartment! It was designed by a builder in Denver who also happens to know a thing or two about buses. He spent about $27,000 turning this bus into a home, complete with a full kitchen, living room, and yes, a [...]

My parents went to Tennessee and visited the Gaylord Opryland hotel and resort and came back with a pretty cool story that includes Apple Valley Lake. Thanks Ma!

The Opryland Hotel opened its doors to guests in 1977. Originally, the hotel was built to support the Grand Ole Opry. It had 580 guest rooms and a ballroom. 

The hotel became a hot [...]

Rock Painting: The New Craze!

Who knew that such a simple, inexpensive time passer would become the latest and greatest craze?!

Painting rocks!

Maybe you’ve found some hidden in a public place or along a path at the park. Or maybe you’ve painted a box full and have strategically placed them for others to find! Regardless, finding and [...]

Pancakes this weekend, at the lake!

Fluffy. Sweet. Golden. Tasty. PANCAKES. I’m starting to think we might take these things for granted. Nothing says all-American breakfast like the traditional pancake and it doesn’t have to be packed with unhealthy ingredients, either. This recipe has been developed over time by researching and trying [...]

Spring and Summer make it so easy. There’s so much to do. You don’t even have to try that hard to get locked into something. The real challenge comes when the weather cools down and the lake isn’t conducive for swimming or other outdoor [...]

Toth and Team prides itself in helping you find your “Happy Place.” At Apple Valley!  By Urban Definition, “Happy Place” is:

With summer weather winding down and fall weather slowly creeping in, it’s easy for us to naturally revert to “hustle bustle” mode (I'm already seeing holiday decorations!). Summer is a time we tend to calm down and [...]

One of the perks of living on or near Apple Valley Lake is the gorgeous view and scenery whether it’s mid summer or the dead of winter. There are countless opportunities to catch glimpses of nature or simply the beauty of the lake. It’s even better when you can capture these moments on film to be remembered [...]

We live in a fast-paced, ever-connected world. Compared to 20 years ago, businesses all over the globe have been affected by the constant evolving world of social media, technology and other innovative ways of conducting business. While we have heard all of the negativity surrounding technology and social media, their effects in the business [...]

Embracing Winter, Beat The Blues

The holidays are over. The days are shorter. Our boats are wrapped in “Saran wrap” and the Lake Living Lifestyle we know and love is only a memory. And while we’ve had a rather mild winter, it seems that Spring and Summer aren’t even in our line of sight yet. Coming to the realization that we are in the dead [...]

You probably remember that Neverland is the dwelling place of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, and the Lost boys.
Well, if you have an extra $100 million lying around, maybe you can call Neverland home, too. Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch is still available.

Sadly, the amusement park rides and all the animals in the petting zoo are gone, but [...]
