Thank you for creating such a special place! It isn't easy with 3 boys ages 17, 11 and 4 - to find a place to stay upon which all ages agree. But your preserve is one such place. Each of us fell in love with the animals, henhouse, gardens, even Frank's posters! You thought of everything for a comfortable stay and we had a wonderful time here at the lighthouse, the beach, kayaking down the river! We will certainly tell friends about the preserve and our youngest member is looking forward to the introduction of Giraffes.

What a terrific surprize~~~~ We called the day we wanted to come and lucky for us, it was available. We had NO IDEA what a treat this place would be. The apartment is perfect - our daughter loved her room. THe animals were unique(to say the least) and Frank and Judy are amazing hosts.

What a place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. It was stupendous! To know that people still care and want to preserve the world we live in. It is a beautiful place where our children could play and we were able to enjoy each other. Baily says"it's our pleasure to come here. Ihope mommy antelopes grow babies this year". Spencer says "I want to come back." He will miss Fred.

What a perfect place to stay on the North Coast. Thank you for your beautiful accomodations (Perfect for us), house and grounds and most of all your preservation effots. The animals are clearly happy and thriving. We look forward to future visits and watching the herds and collections grow. Giraffe! How exciting. I pray it comes to be without any glitches. I so appreciated exposing Delaney to these African species. Thanks!
