This was our first time in Sunriver during the Summer. Your home was great and the setting was beautiful. The deer came right up to the back deck as we were relaxing at the table. The kids had so much fun playing outside. We enjoyed riding the cruisers around Sunriver. What a great vacation with close friends.

Hi Joyce
We just wanted to say that we had such a wonderful time at Sunriver and really enjoyed your home. It was so clean and neat when we arrived. The beds and sheets are absolutely so comfortable that they reminded us of the heavenly beds from the Westin Hotel :) And your towels after the hot tub every night were so cozy. Our kids had a ball! Enjoying the swimming pools, walks, biking, Fort Rock Park, the river loop, marina, and we also did put-put at the golf course and the driving range. The location of your house is great too....centrally located to everything....we just felt like it was truly one of our best family vacations and totally fell in love with the area.

We had a wonderful time at 28 Tan Oak Lane. Everything was so comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for four families! The hot tub and back deck were wonderful in the evenings.
Two families of four stayed comfortably here and two other families were close by. This was our main meeting place.
the guys played lots of golf. Moms and kids biked and sat by the pool. we would recommend always waring bike helps because the bike trails here are actually pretty dangerous (varying abilities of bike riding skills, frequent stopping on the paths and little kids biking alone.
Thanks for your hospitality and sharing your wonderful vacation spot.
P.S. the stove/oen works great!

| This property met and exceeded our expectations! Having 2 master suites with King beds in two separate living areas was a must-and the kids room was great with its own 1/2 bath. The kitchen was well furnished with more than enough dishes and cups. Having wi-fi was so helpful. Since the winter weather was perfect and we played outside, coming home to a large hot tub was a must for sore muscles. Joyce was a delight to work with-we will be visiting this house again! |

Thank you for making your home available for us to stay in. I had to return for work because the tulip season has started. I really enjoyed the layout of the 2nd floor. I could observe those huge gray squirrels from the window up there. Nice weather too.

This is the first time we have stayed in Sunriver. What a beautiful spot. Great weather -- our group did downhill and cross country. It was wonderful relaxing our tired muscles in the hot tub. Great plush towels to wrap up in. Also enjoyed bike riding along the well labeled trails! Your lovely house had everything we needed for a great stay!
Thanks.

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay! Our girls LOVED the "kid's suite" complete with note asking us for the password before we could enter. This is our second year here and we love it -- it was too icy for sledding this season but we found other things to keep us entertained.
We are looking forward to ringing in 2010 here next year!
Thanks & God Bless.

We have enjoyed a fantastic week in your wonderful home in Central Oregon. The house is very well furnished and equipped. Lots of space, a hot tub that we all enjoyed (home away from home)! and outdoor evenings on the decking.
We've put many miles on the bikes, many laps in the swimming pool and kayaked down the river. Paul even got in a round of golf at Lost Tracks. A wonderful resort in a great locality.
We recommend the Trout House restaurant down by the marina. So, all in all we feel the house exchange with "Les Bouleaux" in Dordogne, France has been a great success.
Thank you both for your part in making this happen.

Your lovely home was the perfect vacation spot for our family. There was plenty for all ages (1-68)to enjoy. We enjoyed biking, swimming, fishing, etc. There is always something to enjoy. We will all remember cocktails on the deck watching the deer walk through the different houses.
We truly appreciated having a home to stay in that was kid friendly. The baby gate was wonderful to have!
Your place is a true home away from home! Thank you. We will be back.

Dear Joyce & Bill -
Our family had a wonderful and memorable holiday in your lovely home. Niel, Donna and Christopher Armstrong flew to Bend from Malibu, CA. Jim and Chris Lee drove over from Roseburg, OR. Blaine Lee and his girlfriend Elsa Allen joined us from Seattle, WA. Saturday before Easter found all but Niel enjoying a picture perfect day of skiing and snowboarding on the mountain. On Sunday we enjoyed a special breakfast Easter egg hunt -- we might not have found them all -- (not real eggs) and a special devotional to celebrate our belief in Christ's resurrection. God Bless!

We had a wonderful white Christmas in your cozy home. This was our first family vacation together and it couldn't have been better! The loft was perfect for Nate (6) and Lance (3). We cooked a beautiful holiday meal, played in the snow and spent many hours warm and comfortable talking and laughing. We'll all be back in two years after our in-law "switch-off" year. Thanks. Warm regards and Merry Christmas.

How many times do you find that a place looks even BETTER in real life than it does online (and it looked great online!) Really liked the decoration, the incredibly comfortable furniture, the kid-frinedly layout and atmosphere, and the delicious hot-tub. It was the perfect place for our family reunion. We were thrilled with the luxe accomodations. Thank you so much.

I had a lot of fun playing the snow. Skiing was hard but then it got to eventually be so much fun. When I was sledding, I fell off almost every time. I was in front of my Dad when I was snow mobiling and we accidentally went into the unridden snow on the side and we had to stop and get the snow off the lights, then we had to go really fast to catch back up to everybody.
Thank you for a fun Christmas. Love Commor

Well today is the last day. Well, the last day I'll get to write in this book. Taking the ski lift to the summit of Mt. Bachelor was so unbelievable! Golf and all the bike rides were great too. To come home to such a comfy, and loving, warm, home feel is great! I already miss everyone. Those goodbyes were hard! Thanks for taking care of me. This was a great, awesome, fun, nice, wonderful and so much more vacation. I want to come back so bad!
I love you guys.
Love Erin
P.S. There's more -- Dad and Aunt Carla's birthday night was the best day. All those laughs! I'll never forget that night.

Dear Aunt Joyce & Uncle Bill.
I couldn't wait so I had to write today! This house is unique and very beautiful! The downstairs kitchen with the bar is so neat! And, that bedroom off the stairs (well sort of off the stairs) is so neat too. I love all the sliding doors and natural light especially the huge window in the big bedroom upstairs. The sites around here are great too. I loved climbing Mt. Bachelor and walking around Lake Todd. Mini golf was great, too. But, the best part was getting to spend time with you guys and Aunt Carla, Barbi, Mark, Connor, Uncle Dale, Aunt Janice and Cody.
There's a lot of decorations, but not too many.
Love you so much and thanks for sharing your great -- no wonderful -- home with us.
Plus the wrap-around deck is great!

What can we say? What a wonderful week your house helped launch a much needed family vacation. We swam, rock climbed, rafted, shopped, played games, ran, biked, ate too much and laughed.
We've stayed in Sunriver many times and each time dreamed of having a great home such as yours!
Your house was so comfortable and we found everything we needed. Our daughters loved their room with bears and tv (I believe it went on once -- although the IDEA of having a tv in their room sent them over the moon!)
Thank you so much for offering your home, and although it is a bit of a cliche in this book -- we will be back!

Sunriver is the best! The river is great to canoe or kayak down. Music in the plaza at the village in the evenings is a fun place to meet. Trout House at the marina for a nice lunch. Bike/walk all the lovely trails and just enjoying the views of the mountains. The Crooked River Train is a blast out of Redwood - fun entertainment and beautiful scenery. Weather was great -- 80's - no rain.
