| We had a wonderful time at the Woodland Park Retreat. The birds and wildlife we're so fun to watch and the kids enjoyed some great "pinecone baseball" games. We loved relaxing in the hot tub at night and would definitely recommend this home to all our friends and family. |

| We just had an idyllic stay at the Woodland Park Retreat. 3 inches of fresh snow made it a winter wonderland! It is exactly as described, and I must agree with the prior comment that it is exactly as described. Our family of 6 adults and two small children had ample room to spread out, and the kids loved sledding. The adults enjoyed the tranquility, the deer outside in the morning, and the well-stocked kitchen. We would stay there again in a heartbeat! |

We recently enjoyed the use of your home for our family vacation. Everyone's eyes just opened wide as they went inside and you could hear a collective "WOW" as they walked around and saw everything that was there. It was much more than we had anticipated. It is rare that things are better than advertised, or even just as good as advertised, but in this case it was everything and more. The kitchen was fully supplied with utensils and dishes, the upkeep was fantastic with everything recently stained, even the towels were better than any motel you could stay at. We had our three grown children and their families with us and there was room for everyone to spread out and not be on top of each other. And finally, you even had sleds to use. How thoughtful was that! Our damage deposit was returned within 7 days with no hassle at all. We'll be telling everyone we know about your home for vacation. Thank you for everything. We'll be back!!!

Our family wants to thank you for use of your fine home. We were able to go down to Colorado Springs and other nearby towns each day to see the sights
and then spend relaxing evenings as a family in your home. It is a beautiful and tranquil area. We will have no hesitation to recommend it to friends. |

| The accomodations were first class and the scenery was spectacular. The location was perfect - not too far fram town but it seemed like you were way up in the mountains - great for our two grown sons who love to flyfish - every morning they fished the South Platt River near Deckers (only about 15 minutes from the retreat). Our 4 year old grandson thought it was really cool being in the mountains and going on an "adventure". All in all, it was a wonderful experience and we'll definitely be back. |

| Very much a 1st class home. The privacy was great, the accomodations very comfortable. 3 full bathrooms and 3 private bedrooms with an additional loft that had 2 T and 1 D bed made for a week where 6 people could have their own space. Washer/ dryer conveniently located on the main floor. Kitchen very spacious and had everything we needed and then some! We played in the snow with the sleds and had a ball. We played board games every nite and watched a DVD movie every nite also. Both are provided. We all had massages on the professional massage bed. All in all, this was the BEST home we've ever rented. We will definitely stay there again. |

| Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. We were there in Feb 2008. The house was absolutely wonderful. We loved the hot tub and the massage bed. We had about 3 inches of snow while we were there and it was beautiful. The house has everything you need and more. We will definitely be back. Thank you. |

| First of all, I just wanted to thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. We had a wonderful stay and experienced Colorado and the mountains like never before. The snow fell and blanketed the area with a white layer of beauty and majesty. We have been to Colorado many times, but have never gotten to see it with snow (except on the mountain tops of course) – so it was a dream come true. Our family enjoyed meals together without the hustle and bustle of a restaurant. We hiked and explored during the day and came in for wonderful family evenings together. We enjoyed football on the flat screen TV and just had a wonderful time of rest and refreshing. We also enjoyed meeting Charlie and Susan – they are wonderful, sweet people. You are very blessed to have them as caretakers. |

| We spent New Year's week at this wonderful home. Easy to get to, comfortable to be in, and beautiful to look at--inside and out. Everything was perfect--hot tub was warm and waiting for us, the massage table was a fabulous way to relieve stress, and the furniture--tables, sofas, beds, etc.--were all soooo comfortable. The pictures were enticing, but they don't do it justice. The wildlife and light snow added to the magic. Don't hesitate, this is a great place. |

| We just spent Christmas week of 2007 at the retreat and it was absolutely wonderful (white! white! white!) We had lots of snow for the kids to play in right there on the property. The retreat was really comfortable and the kitchen was missing absolutely nothing. My kids really enjoyed the game room downstairs. I am really hoping to go back in the summer time and enjoy all the water activities available in the area. |

From the 10th to 17th of Nov. 07, we totally enjoyed our visit to your wonderful retreat. The house was great and
the views were spectacular, also the quietness was unreal. We wanted to see more snow so next time we should visit after Christmas. We did not use the hot tub because it was outside and too cold for South Georgia people to walk upstairs after getting out of the tub, but it looked very nice. We loved the kitchen and the furniture was very comfortable, wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for your hospitality.

| We had a fantastic Thanksgiving here ! Beautiful and tranquil, with a couple of inches of snow - plenty for fun, but not so much as to be inconvenient. |

Our family stayed in Mid-October, 2007 and found the retreat a most inspiring experience. On our first night, we had a small snow shower, which looked incredibly beautiful on the trees, etc. The jacuzzi on the deck was a family favorite; nice and hot, with picturesque views. The house was incredible, especially the kitchen, with all its wares. We fixed some very appetizing meals while at the retreat. My children just loved the loft and the playroom downstairs. All in all, our time at the retreat was more than we could have imagined and we can't wait to come back.

| We had a fantastic time at Woodland Park Retreat. The home was as advertized; it was great to be in the woods and still have all the comforts of home. Many exciting activities were nearby to keep our adult children busy, but we often stayed home choosing to be entertained by the hummingbirds and awed by the beautiful sunsets. Roberta was very easy to work with; she responded to our e-mails promptly. |

The weekend we stayed at your home was so very relaxing and therapeutic. We were very impressed with all the little details that helped make the stay feel like home or like welcome guests: the towels put out just right on the corner of the tub, the all inclusive “your stay” manual (I forgot what you called it), and especially the fireplace on and the house already warm when we arrived. Since we arrived closer to 7:30 instead of 4:30, I was so relieved that we didn’t have to bundle up and wait for the house to warm up before we could relax. We noticed that you even had left some videos for our viewing with a short description on the label. Thanks for the non-perishable items for cooking (although we did none) and a full stock of dishes. Something about having the place lightly decorated (not cluttered) also added to making the stay more like we were coming home instead of to a sterile hotel. (Too many decorations would’ve made me feel like I was intruding, but that is probably just me) I appreciate that you had the hot tub filled for us, whether we visited for a couple days or not and whether it was busy season or not. Also, it seemed that we were treated no differently in the things that were available to us for our short stay versus if we had stayed longer.
Thank you, also, for your kindness and understanding for letting us change the date of our stay. Because of our few little emails, I enjoyed knowing that we were staying at a house were the owners were kind and gentle.

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. We had a fabulous time. Getting snowed in was an adventure for us and our children who never see this kind of snow.
You have a wonderful piece of property and it was a delight to stay there.

"Dear Roberta,
We had a simply fabulous time, Thank You! As we suspected, it turned out to be an engagement party for my daughter. We are all so very pleased!
Your place is a delight, beautiful & well stocked. We did have a tense moment trying to pry the bunny from the front bedroom, out of a 3 year old's grip! It worked out okay & everyone felt so bad, she has since made out like a bandit!
Working with you has been a pleasure & you have chosen well in your caretakers!
I hope you make it back to Colorado soon, yourself! I can't imagine the culture shock from Henderson to Woodland Park...
We listened to wolves howling one night & woke to deer meandering by in the morning. Everything was as perfect as anyone could hope for!
Bright Blessings, Carol"
