"Injured troops, veterans and their families in the mid-Atlantic region now have a new place they can escape to for rest and relaxation.
Boulder Crest Retreat, a 37-acre getaway in Northern Virginia’s horse country, opens its doors Friday, providing combat-wounded service members and families a place to rejuvenate and regroup for up to two weeks.
The $5 million facility features four luxury log cabins, a central lodge and recreational activities such as archery, fishing, hiking and bird-watching.
The intention, according to Boulder Crest founder and retired Navy master chief Ken Falke, is to give these military families a rare commodity — uninterrupted family time away from a hospital or rehabilitation center.
“Many troops and their families are from rural areas, and from visiting injured service members at [Walter Reed National Military Medical Center] Bethesda, we learned the one thing they miss is nature, its beauty and the quiet,” Falke said."

"Boulder Crest will host a public open house after its formal ceremony on Friday. Anyone driving through or perambulating in western Loudoun County, Va., between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Sept. 6 is invited to stop by 33735 Snickersville Turnpike, Bluemont, Va."
