Say what?

I completely fell in love with your most whimsical, precious website... Are you sure you live in Brainerd and not Oz??? Or at least Wonderland? Your place sounds so very perfectly peaceful that it seems thy nickname must be Nirvana...  L. Crockett

I can almost hear my grandparents' voices telling stories... N. Mercier

You are so refreshing to talk to because you are full of imagination. Thank you for reminding me that I have one too! J. Engesser

My daughter and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect getaway. On the way home, she cried- quite hard. She said she missed our cabin at the B&B and wanted our family to move into that cabin. Another morning this week, she woke up early, crawled into bed with me and said, "Mom, I miss our B&B." So I said to her, "You know that feeling that you had in your heart while we were there?" And we talked about the peace and the laughter. I told her that if either of us get crabby, we can remind each other of the peace. Both of us have used that reminder to re-center ourselves in the busyness of our lives. J. Burns
