Dear Joseph and the staff:
"I just had to take the time to thank you. We just had our ladies retreat for our church at your inn this weekend and thanks to you and your staff it was an incredible event. From the first contact I had with you to visiting the inn to see the facilities through to the completion of the weekend: I was tremendously impressed with your professionalism and hospitality. The place was immaculate, the service was amaxing, the food was delicious and the leftovers you sent home were a blessing. From keeping the drinks full, to the gift bags left in the rooms and the draw prize that you had for the guests makes your inn a top notch establishment in my books and I would recommend it to anyone looking to hold an event.
I cannot express to you how much we appreciated the extra effort you and your staff put in to making our weekend so enjoyable."
Sincerely,
Sharon J. Crann
