Guest comments
Sue and Nigel, Just a quick note to thank you again for your wonderful hospitality. Should you need a reference for a potential guest, please don't hisitate to point him or her my way. To whom it may concern... you could not ask for a nicer lodging or finer hosts. My suggestion...ask them about a meal prepared by their neighbor. John Trotti, jtrotti@forester.net.
Friends and I just had a most delightful stay with Susan and Nigel. We felt so welcomed and comfortable. We had beautifully furnished rooms and a well stocked kitchen. They were helpful with information about tourist spots but mostly gracious hosts. They even arranged a beautiful catered supper prepared by a terrific cook neighbour. I look forward to my next visit. Karen Drown www.Greentreeranch@verizon.net
The three weeks we were there passed too quickly and all four of us agreed that we'd had a wonderful time.
