"Your home has been a beautiful wonderful paradise for us. We could not have asked for a more special place to host our families as we joined each other in our marriage. Everyone felt at home and honored that you would allow us the use of your very special place on Grand Lake.
I have been coming to and lived on this lake since 9175 and watched as your home was built. Never dreamed I would actually have the opportunity to call it home for a very special weekend in my life. Thank you again and please thank Helen for us. She was warm and gracious on our arrival and introducing us to your home. We hope to return again if you will allow us!"

"What a wonderful time we had staying in your beautiful home. The amenities and hospitality you provided us were just perfect. You were able to provide us with a very memorable last lake weekend of the summer and we couldn't be more grateful. So much family fun was had here and we can't wait to come back."

"We all agreed that this was one of a kind vacation, extremely relaxing and of all the most comfortable one. It was like being home away from home. At first I didn't know what to expect, because the pictures over the internet do not do justice to what we experienced. Your home is breath taking. The amenities are incredible and the view is to die for. We will definitely consider staying there again and for sure recommending your home to family and friends. Helen was darling to us and we appreciate her very much."

"In the busy, fast paced lives that we all live, too often
we forget to slow down and "smell the roses" but that is
just what we did this week! Thank you for sharing your home
with our family and friends this vacation week. We
celebrated so many things-a milestone birthday, an
anniversary, Father's Day, an engagement, a new baby on the
way, the memory-making antics of grandchildren- but most of
all we just celebrated life and all it's pleasures as we put
our feet up and relaxed! We swam, fished, ate, played
games, read, ate, went boating, chased lizards and ate some
more. We took a picture of the fox looking in the window at
us from the patio, got a picture of the 2 fawns drinking
from the lake, and a group picture of our family all
together - which is truly a rare sighting! Thanks so much
for your generous spirit and hospitality ...we look forward
to coming back again soon!" The "G" family. Tulsa & Kansas

"What a joy it has been to stay in your lovely home. We
appreciated every little detail. This was the perfect
setting for our family vacation (with 4 generations
represented). We played cards in the screened porch,
enjoyed dinner on the porch by candlelight every night,
board games around the round table, sunning on the ower
patio, strolling the beautiful grounds, swimming in the
cove, and sleeping on the wonderful sheets in the
comfortable beds. Cooking in the gourmet kitchen was also a
treat! Thanks for opening your wonderful home to us! We
would love to come back soon! The "P's" & "H's" families

"Making the annual trek from Chicago is never a "fun" 10
hours, but arriving at such a beautiful retreat on the lake
makes it worth it! The birds, wildlife (the raccoon family
comes out very early) and home couldn't have been more
charming. Thank you for opening your home and artwork up to
our family. We hope to enjoy it again in the future.

"When we went into the kitchen, we discovered everything we could possibly need...as if my Mother had been there to set it up". ..."The picturesque setting on a beautiful overlook of Grand Lake was a delightful place to relax and visit. We enjoyed the 3 decks, framed with the red geraniums and other beautiful landscaping while we visited and watched the children enjoy playing on the lawn". ..
"Time passed quickly and we didn't have time to play all the games provided nor the ones we brought. In closing, your beautiful home, setting, hospitality, and graciousness all created a wonderful week for our family and great memories that will last a lifetime. We hope to return!"

"What a House! What a great time! What a view! Water-skiing, lunch at "Crabby's", dinner at "The Artichoke" (WOW!), cards on the screened-in porch, explored Grand Lake, & relaxed on the patio in the evenings.
We got to water ski, sail, play golf at "The Peninsula Club", spend an evening at a friend's cabin watching the red sun set, fabulous dinner at "The Cherokee yacht Club" and party after at "Hooker's Bar" (owner's note...Hooker's is a toss dexterity game at the bar!)where Captain Duct Tape & Lovey became "Hookers" while Nora & Grandman won the shuffle board championship. We had many great meals around "The Knight's of the Round Table". Captain Duct Tape & "Ma" were the big winners in the bocce ball tournament & "Rugs" beat "Touchdown Tommy" in golf. {Our friends} rented a 30 foot sailboat for four days. The weather was perfect, except for some rain on Saturday. It was cold enough to make a great fire & watch football that afternoon while "Ma" & Nora went to the Casino.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home and dock. We feel we know you both as a result."

"Serendipity! Elegant but cozy with every amenity down to the tiniest detail. Your creativity shines with every personal touch and of course your amazing art work. Summer vacations when I was a kid was a drive from New York City to Vinita to visit my grandparents (no indoor plumbing, out-house, etc.) Who would imagine I would get the chance to share such a beautiful home with my dad for his 88th birthday. It couldn't have been more special. Many thanks!

"Wow-what a week we have had. A family of 7 with a few extras here and there surrounded by comfort, beauty and memories at every moment - I don't want to leave!
I've tried to sit in every chair to enjoy the surroundings....We have all been blessed and will be noted as our best family vacation.....I love these rocking chairs - the motion while listening to the birds and water and the slight breeze - I feel so grateful to be alive to be able to see, hear, smell, touch and appreciate all that we have."

"Thank you for another incredible 2 weeks at the lake. Even though rain and boat trouble kept us off the lake more than we liked, this house still provided the relaxing and fun atmosphere we were looking for. Getting to watch the huge thunderstorm rolling across the lake was wonderful. It was a great family trip that all of us will remember. Thank you.

Pictures do not do justice to your home here on the Lake. The home itself is stunning. The craftmanship, the furniture, and the enitre setting is so comfortable and beautiful and then what really catches your breath is: The View.
The view of the lake is breathtaking from the deck, the master bedroom, the kitchen and the living room. As you know, this was not our first time and it will not be our last! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in your lake home and we will definitely be coming back!

"The ultimate compliment for any architecture is "the bones" or the life of the house. Your home is that way - beyond great style and beauty, is a home that blesses everybody that walks through your door. What an amazing and memorable summer. Thank you from the B. family."

"Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful lake house for our family reunion. It was perfect in every way. While it is large enough to accommodate all the couples and the cooks in the kitchen, it is still cozy and inviting. The guest house is an added and another delightful benefit.
Your thoughtfulness - from the detailed driving directions to the detailed electronics directions to the use of your household staples and personalized soaps - is very unusual for folks sharing their homes and was very much appreciated.
We had the opportunity and good fortune to meet your caretaker Helen. Her orientation tour is excellent and her willingness to help (and answer questions!) seem endless. She is a wonderful "asset."
The views, moonrises, early morning fishing, partying at the boat dock, family dinners as Knights of the Round Table and just relaxing and visiting in such plush comfort - it doesn't get any better than this!
Thanks again !!
