Once Guests Now Dear Friends

In 2005 we made a wonderful connection the first time Pete and Sandra visited the secret. Over time we have become great friends. It's just one of the greatest perks of having this business. Life just doesn't get any better than this!

Surprise from England

Imagine our surprise yesterday when we met an adorable couple from England who knocked on our door looking for lodging. One difference Carl and I have discovered between US and UK travelers is that Americans seem to travel overseas in groups. Not so for European travelers. They tend to fly into a city, rent a car and then hit the road. One evening we had a couple check in from Germany and we talked until 2:00 am in the morning! Needless to say, we gave them a free night. The Turners were adorable as have been all our European guests. This is just another reason Carl and I love owning a bed and breakfast.
