Donna:
What a fabulous place in heaven you have. Laying on the couch and looking through the sky lite, I am sure I saw angles dancing in the clouds.
The weather let up enough for us to enjoy hiking and biking.
What a pretty island.
And the deer... My favorite part of the trip... with the exception of the bathtub!
Thanks-and may you be blessed as much as us in this get-away home!

Thank you for the use of your house this week. It was the perfect place to relax and escape the computer, TV, deadlines and projects of the outside world. We loved the view and the patio, especially with the Fall weather. The sound of the rain on the roof was nice!
It was a great base for exploring Orcas - we've discovered the the off season here is the perfect time and place for a Fall vacation.
Thanks for everything!

P.S. Oh, we can't forget to mention the fabulous bathtub and heated tile floors!

We were here on our annual Fall vacation. In prior years-
Switzerland, Vitoria, Outer Banks, Main. This is at the top of our list for diversity of experience. Golf, Hiking, Kayaking and Whale Watching.
Your home is lovely with a special feel. We felt at home here, part of the island for a brief time.
It was peaceful, beautiful and we LOVED your well equipped kitchen.
We drank NW wines and ate seafood, crab, shrimp, halibut, oysters and Chanterelle Mushrooms.
Thank you for having us-Our best to you for a peaceful, happy and healthy year.

We came to Orcas Island to relax and enjoy the beauty of this part of the world - waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the islands from this beautiful house was amazing. we enjoyed every minute we spent at Delongview and thank you for all of the thought you put into making this a welcome place for your visitors.
Thank you for sharing this special place with us - we hope to return!

Thanks for providing all the things we needed for a great week. Although the weather wasn't sunny & clear, we had a great time!!
You have furnished this home with just about everything anyone could need.
We haven't heard this much "quiet" in a long time: it was restful.
We drove just about all the main roads and a lot of the not-so-main ones too.
This island is a beautiful part of God's creation.

You have provided a perfect retreat for two heat - weary Texans. The house (and all your hard work) is an inspiration. Orcas does feel like home! The birds serenaded us, the rain and sun lifted our spirits. We will be back! Thank You. (OH! The kitchen is fantastic.)

Our stay, May 5, 2009 at Delong view was a fantastic experience, even though it rained the first two days there, the house was so comfortable and beautiful, we didn't mind! The pictures do not do the house justice, it is so well decorated and very clean. Donna seems to anticipate every possible need you might have. AND the VIEW is absolutely breath taking!We drove almost 6,000 miles to get there, but i would do it again this week! Don't miss a visit to Shaw Island and visit the farm run by the Benedictine nuns, and tell them Sandi, Kate and Marvin say HI.

It's not very often that something not only meets but far exceeds your expectations - but this was one of those rare experiences! Thank you for all you have done.

Some people have a special way of knowing what to do to make things nice for others - and that's just the way with you!

I cannot tell you how incredible our stay was!!!! YOUR HOUSE WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! The view, patio, fire-pit, kitchen, everything was GREAT! I truly feel as if I was the luckiest person on earth to have found your house. Marty & I had a great time traveling the different islands, hiking, eating, and shopping. So much so that I would love to move there! At some point in my life I want to return and stay at your place again. What a joy to have found you!!! I want to tell everyone about my experience and the accommodations but I also want to keep it to myself if you can understand that. You truly have a treasure there on Orcas!! If you ever want to come to Destin,FL. I would be happy to have you here! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

We loved the house. We liked many of the choices you put into it. The slate tile floors and walk-in shower with the same slate, and two shower heads, wow.
Where did you get those kitchen cupboards? I've never seen any like them.
We were attending a wedding at Rosario, and of the 60 people there, we had the nicest place.

I've enjoyed my time here so much. I can't remember the date. Is it Aug. 15? Very lovely, wish we could have left the kids home though. Well, at least a little. I love having them with us. Very comfortable and spacious, we've loved staying here and will recommend you to all our friends.

I just wanted to thank you again for your generous and gracious hospitality this past week. Rey and I loved your place, and had a wonderful getaway - much too short though!

By the way, we love telling our friends and family about the "Morning Attack of the killer Pomeranians!" Your tree adorable pups still make us laugh every time we think about it!
Thanks for a extra special story from our over brief (!!) weekend getaway.


We'll be back, and we hope to send you more business - we sent photos of your place to our friends and family too. (Rey wishes we had a photo of your dogs!)

Thanks again, Donna, and have a wonderful summer season!
