Shelly Cook's Small Town Story
Shelly is a lifetime resident of Warren County with a family heritage that runs deep. Her grandfather, Arthur Burke, helped develop and build Skyline Drive. Around the 1960s, Arthur purchased land that included 154 parcels. Shelly began developing the land into a riverfront community to honor his legacy.
​
In the early 2000s, Shelly’s husband passed away in a tragic accident. Shelly was left to take care of herself and her son, Jeremy. With little to her name, Shelly took a chance on herself.
Shelly invested in building an assisted living facility, Loving Arms Assisted Living. After filling the facility in 6 months, Shelly expanded it by 5,500 square feet in 2006. In 2015, she sold the facility for nearly $15 million.
​
During those years, Shelly became a Registered Nurse through Shenandoah University. In 2011, Shelly started the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry and created a computer software to help find people in need.
In late 2019, Shelly gained access to her grandfather’s land, and by March 2020, she commissioned her construction company to begin developing and building the land.
​
Shelly continues taking on new endeavors as an entrepreneur. Some notable projects include The Trellis Venue, The Olive Branch Motel, Reitano Vineyards, and Poppy's Place.
With her, it seems the sky is the limit.
