Wow - two decades have passed since Ed and Erma Caballero arrived on Lookout and began their time as the innkeepers at our very own Garden Walk Inn, and now, they are retiring and ready to pass the torch. These two, love people and they love to offer food and shelter to travelers from all around the world and from our own neighborhood.

Strong in their faith, these two have been truly blessed, and they have been true blessings to so many over the years. Originally from Columbia via Los Angeles, and even Las Vegas, Ed and Erma have been residents here on Lookout Mountain for over two decades now. Raising a close family of three children, they found a way to make it work despite the challenges. Everyone worked and helped out as their and its cottages has been a waypoint for thousands over the years. Hear how they used this amazing piece of land and its whimsical cottages to make a living and to offer grace and help to many local families in times of need.

In this episode, we recognize, celebrate and honor the work Ed and Erma have done in our community for over two decades. Even though the future of the Inn is uncertain, let us show that our feelings and gratitude for these two and their service, is not.
