We love the little cottage. You two were so nice and friendly and generous about our two dogs roaming around. I love how you outfitted and decorated the cottage. The quiet is a balm on my city-ravaged mind; the wind in the trees is beautiful and inspiring; we slept deeply and ran ourselves and our dogs around the acreage and inspected mosses, ice formations in the clay, and fascinating wild animal evidence.
The hot tub was dreamy to sit in at night and wonder at the brightness of the moon and the blackness of the shadows.
Your stock of videos and books is excellent. We brought our own books, too, and luxuriated in the peaceful quiet, reading for hours. And, call me crazy, after Oakland's nasty chlorine-spiked water, your well water was sweet. I couldn't get enough, I just drank glass after glass. Do you know, I heard about a friend of a friend who has a well in an area geologically like yours, whose doctor asked him how he had so much iron in his blood - it was from the well water!
Thank you for making this place available. |

| Absolutely wonderful. We arrived to find the cottage spotless, the radio gently playing, the flame glowing from the heater and the hot tub ready and inviting. Beautiful surroundings, great views out all of the double pane windows and from the deck and hot tub. Secluded, private, romantic setting with its own picnic area and firepit. Our comfort and enjoyment was obviously the number one concern of our wonderful host. A most ennjoyable two weeks! |

Ah........
This weekend was all we'd hoped for and so much more. We were
truly stunned by how well appointed,ellegant and thoughtfully
arranged this wonderful retreat is. Whimsical touches everywhere,
and everything one could possibly need already supplied. The
problem became whether to stay holed up in this little piece of
pardise or to venture out and explore. We,ll just have to come back
and make sure we get enough of both.
Many Thanks Vickie and Paul

Dear Happy Family,
I've had a blissful time in your retreat. Thanks for taking
care of all the creature comforts so that I could get right
down to the business of relaxing!
I hope to see you the same time next year, if not before.

Jim,
My family & I had such a wonderful & relaxing long
weekend. The cabin is perfect & we roasted
marshmellows in the open fire pit fireplace, took
numerous dips in the hot tub, saw a beautifiul sunset &
a full moon, walked the trail ( looked for burried
treasures) then the horseshoes, had burgers on the
grill & then went sledding & skiing! What a refreshing
mini-vacation! We were literally & figuratively on top of
the world!
The Roses
P.S. - The personal touches throughout the cabin &
grounds make it feel just like a home!

We're Back!!
We had a wonderful time again. It's like we never left!
Our weekend was so relaxing. The hot tub was perfect
as well as the weather. Only in California 70' at 5PM in
January no less.
We'll be back to the hustle & bustle of regular life, but
first, one last dip in the hot tub .
See ya in July,
S & D

The moment we walked in, we knew it was the perfect
getaway. Your interior design creates the perfect
atmosphere to take in the beautiful serenity of the
surrounding nature....brilliant!
Colorful sunrises & spectacular sunsets greeted each
day as we lounged in the hot tub...we even had the
good fortune to experience a rare natural
phenomenon..... a red moon setting...wow!
Thanks for the recomendation to check out 'Iron Point '
..especially if you like to get your SUV 'in the dirt'. And
Leslie Loved the 360' view from the point.
We'll be back!

Dear Jim,
Thanks for providing a wonderful retreat from city
pressures & our remodeling project at home. We slept,
cooked (in an indoor fully stocked kitchen, no less) ate,
read & played to our hearts' content. I loved your rock
retaining walls & all your thoughtful site design! Thanks
again for a peaceful retreat! You'll be seeing us again!

We had a wonderful time. The house is great. It will be
hard to go back to our apartment & grad school life. We
really enjoyed our hike to Loch Leaven Lakes & soaking
in the Hot Tub afterwards!
Sorry that we did not get to meet you. Hopefully we will
be able to come back soon. Take care.

Thanks so much for your warm hospitality! You have
created a very cozy & quaint little corner to get away
from the bustle of our cities.
We were happy to have stumbled upon your site & will
definately look forward to future visits.
Good luck with all your projects! You obviously put your
hearts (and backs right Jim?) into everything you do.

We really enjoyed our weekend retreat here at Sugar
Pine. We especialy liked visiting with our new friend
Sam! Our little dogs enjoyed the forest adventures and
lake hikes recommended by our hosts.
All in all it has been a very peaceful, relaxing and
thoroughly enjoyable weekend. We loved the setting &
how the cottage was decorated with every possible
comfort considered.
Thank you very much for a memorable weekend!
S& D....see you in Jan o3
