"My friend and I had a wonderful time on your beautiful property. Thanks so much for making it possible for me to come."

"We returned yesterday from our wonderfully relaxing week at the Petrolia House. What a great place for our whole family to get in some long-needed relaxation and bonding. So nice not to be pressured by "have -to-do" things...no restaurant reservations to keep; time-tables to meet; no shopping for foreign-made "souvenirs," etc. I spent every morning and evening sitting by the river with my binoculars, coffee and/or glass of wine and watched the dog trying in vain to catch minnows. So quiet! Swimming was good there but best up at the county campground. The beach was windy but the beached whale and sea lion enticed my grandchildren..."Grandpa, the sea lion has toe- nails on its flippers!," generating a lot of discussion about evolution of species and natural selection."

"Our 10 days at your river house was glorious. We, and our visiting friends, had such a great time. Our stay there was exactly what we needed. We have not been so relaxed in a long time. Thanks again and again."
