These are actual excerpts from the journals we keep at the cabin. Guests are encouraged to read and write about their trip. The journals are very helpful because guests write about their trip, what sights to see, what to avoid, etc. They are also entertaining and fun to read. Here are some of the excerpts from our journal:

"We have both stayed at other cabins and chalets before - but at yours we felt at home...It's a nice feeling. Thank-you very much."

"Four days here seems like a week. It was a perfect getaway and we can hardly wait to do it again."

"It's been a wonderful vacation. We've felt so at home in the cabin and really loved being out in the woods and enjoying nature."

"My husband says he keeps finding things in the cabin he didn't see before...He says Martha Stewart retired and is being replaced by Karen Orlando."

"The cabin is so charming and homey. I don't think I want to leave."

"Had a great time here." (Anthony - 13 years old)

"The property is beautiful, so green and lush...Everything was great."

"I'm impressed with this cabin. It's so cozy. A special thanks to the Orlando's for providing such a cozy and wonderful place to stay. You can rest assured we'll tell our friends about your place. Thanks again!"

"If first impressions do count, we all fell in love with this place...What a wonderful experience for our first vacation together."

"We were delighted with the homeiness of the cabin."

"I always feel sad when it is time to leave here. It is a special place but I now know why it is so special, it is because it expresses the hearts and love of Karen and Steve. It is more than just a nice cabin in a pretty setting, it is the feeling of love and friendship that flows here. Because of their hearts, this place stands out."

"What a wonderful week this has been. This was our first vacation in about three years and one of our best. We loved it. Thank-you so much, your cabin is lovely."

"Had a wonderfully relaxing time. Hope to do it again in the Springtime."

"We love the cabin. There is a peace in this place. It has been splendid...This cabin will always be special."

"This was our first vacation in 3 1/2 years and this was our best yet. Cabin is just perfect. Weather great. People friendly. Hope to repeat this experience soon. Thank-you for this opportunity."

"Thank-you so much for your wonderful cabin. We had a great holiday."

"All I can say is Wow!! This cabin is incredible. The pictures and brochure do not do it justice. All of the wonderful homey touches and knick-knacks. My kids were delighted. This will be sure to go down as one of the best family vacations ever. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home."
