Andrea and Tim: We had such a wonderful time at your beautiful resort - if only we could have stayed longer! I don't know why, but that bed in #2 had to have been the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! We wish you the very best in the future and we'll cetainly spread the word about your wonderful retreat and your welcoming hospitality. We will definitely be back - we are planning a wedding in our future - date and details unknown yet - and maybe it will be there. Thanks again! Susanne and Michael
