Thank you for the fine hospitality. We could have stayed for several more days. The floral arrangements were an especially appreciated touch along with the fruit and bread. The house was perfect for our extended family gathering of mine. Thanks for being a great host Gary! Aloha Also from Michigan and Massachucittes

Natures first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. Her early leafs a flower but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay-Robert Frost Wow! and so awesome visit to Eden come to a close ....back to reality p.s. That poem from English Class came back after many years p.s.s. Special thanks for delicious bread

What a great place to enjoy Paradise! The lovely home and amenities. The gracious decor. We couldn't ask for more. Thank you for all the lovely coffe and fruit. We really enjoyed our stay. We hiked the park under sunny skies-saw the erupion plumes and creaters. We highly recommend the Thai Thai restaruant(we ate there both nights)but came home each time to a lovely setting and full of home. Thank you for sharing your home. We will be back! Mahalo! Best- Wendy, Larry, Micheal, Ernst and Janet Starbug Wallis Gorgeous flower too!
