August, 2009   Doug and Marika,

Couldn't resist writing you a longer note and expressing our heartfelt thanks for your hospitality.  We enjoyed your fresh, delicious breakfasts, Doug's artwork (especially The Kiss, quite appropriate for our first anniversary!), and, of course, the kittens.  We took a walk down to the oil tank and practiced our echoes - wild!  The fact that you are located so close to one of our favorite places - the waterfall hike at Ricketts Glen - is yet another reason to visit soon.  Good luck with all your projects and thanks again.

August, 2009     Dear Future Guests,

This was and has yet to really happen - already an amazing place.  Truly a gem hidden deep in the woods.  We feel so privileged to have found such an amazing place.  We will most definitely be back.  Love love love!

We loved the house.  We also loved the cats.  Timmy was very cute.  I/we loved the Darts game, too.  It was the best B&B ever.  I loved all of your pictures and the wonderful breakfast.  P.S.  Thanks for the tiles.  We left you some drawings!

Thank you Doug and Marika for a warm and welcoming experience.  We are all so glad we stayed an extra night.  We had a hard time getting Nate out of the car when we arrived because he didn't want to stay here.  Now we are having a hard time getting him back in the car because he loves it here so much!  We'll be back!!

What a dream!  The breakfast was like human cat nip - made us want to dance.  Thank you for making us feel warm, welcomed, and ensconced in hospitality.  You have created a magical place and we are grateful you shared it.

Thanks so much for the generous hospitality and the conversation.  (Your cats are also welcoming...one of them just left a shrew on our doorstep as a farewell gift!)  Keep up the good work!!  All the best, Joel Erland and Kate Kaman, Philadelphia PA

Meryl, Molly and I had a wonderful weekend here!  This was the perfect place and perfect time for time with our family.  Thank you for the great ceramics class and tour of the shop, and the wonderful breakfast.  Warm regards,
