    • Aug 2008: Thank you so much for your warm welcome in the middle of the night!! You really made me feel at home in your beautiful Swan River Cottage. The cottage was ideal and you're right about Swan Lake - even prettier than Flathead Lake. May God continue to bless you, Rev. Barbara.

    • Sept. 2008: We had a wonderful week on the Swan River. Between the beautiful scenery and the lovely cottage - who could ask for anything more? Thank you for all you did to make us feel welcome, especially the boat pickup which we greatly appreciated. The weather was perfect, cool mornings, warm afternoons and plenty of sun. Aloha, M & M
