| 9/15/08 Gail, Thanks so much for your warm welcome. Things just go so much easier when we are around Christian friends. So glad we picked your B&B out of the Milepost to stay in. God’s presence is in this cabin. Thank you for the cookies & jam. When my husband saw them he said, “And she doesn’t even know us.” God bless you and your family. Marvin & Marilyn Zgabay, Fredericksburg, VA

| 9/8/08 Dear Gail, Thanks so much for a comfortable stay - all we needed and more. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting and swinging out by the lake in the sunshine this morning. You are a great hostess. Tracy & Tom Broadwell, Dayton, OH

8/31/08-9/2/08 Gail, what a precious time we have experienced at your cabin. The delicious jelly, homemade cookies and apple bread, helping us have a wonderful fire and answering our questions were so appreciated. We really enjoyed taking the paddle boat around the lake, sitting on the dock, enjoying the mountain views, roasting marshmallows by the fire and cooking in the cabin. Thank you for making this all possible. The presence of the Lord is in this place. Don & Terri, The Russels from Nashville, TN
|
| 8/29/08 Gail, You have been the most accommodating host we could have ever hoped for. I wish we could stay longer here on Pippin Lake but we must press on in the spirit of adventure. Thank you for everything. Regards, Dain & Paige Caraway, Greenville, SC
|
| 8/25/08 Gail, After some disappointing accommodations, it was like a friend putting it’s arms around us and welcoming us when we walked through the door. So cozy and inviting. My husband’s first word was “cookies” - thanks for the recipe. If we had known how your cabin was set up we would have booked more than one night. Thanks for a great place to regroup before our next stop. God is so good. Ken, Karen & Katie Lisbon, Maine
|
| 8/21/08 Your B&B is so welcoming, cozy and thoughtfully decorated, furnished with Alaskan artifacts, art, and crafts. To paddle your canoe on a lake with majestic mountain scenery was so refreshing. We are truly blessed to be your guests and sample not only your hospitality, but also your delicious cookies. Thank you! Definitely a day of “R&R” midway during our Alaskan visit of discovery and majestic beauty. How great is our God’s creation! John & Mary Ahnasi, Waukesha, WI

| Gail, Thank you so
much for your hospitality - what a relief to arrive at 2am and see the
beds for the kiddos all ready! The girls had several paddle boat
adventures during the day and Adam caught his 30 Copper River Reds-woohoo!
The cabin was the perfect home away from home. Delicious cookies and
muffins and tea, very clean & comfy! Thanks again & enjoy the rest of
the summer. P.S. Great cookbook-can’t wait to try the salmon brine!

We are truly blessed to have had this experience. Thanks for everything. Jack & Sue Kagy, Tom & Colleen Scharnhorst,& Linda Bailey

Sometimes there are no words to describe how beautiful our one night stay was - the paddle boat that my daughter and I enjoyed so very much and the beauty that surrounded us, peaceful and enjoyable. P.S. It was a pleasure to meet you. Sofia Kennedy, Arlington, Arizona 85322

| Gail, we felt
instantly at home in the cutest cabin in Alaska! Surely we’ll be back.
The grill worked perfectly for our steaks and the beautiful evening made
for a perfect fat-free, calorie-free dessert! We slept soundly and
enjoyed the Kennicott DVD. Have a great day! Michelle
|
| 7/26/& 27/08 Thus far in our journey we have stayed in 3 cabins and yours is by far the best. It is great to find southern hospitality so far north.

| 8/9&10/06 We’ve spent 12 wonderful days driving through Alaska, and our journey has brought us here to Pippin Lake for 3 great nights, enjoying what you have created! Doing laundry today at the “lodge” down the hill, said they’ve heard great things about your place, and buying ice at the gift store at the top of the hill, I couldn’t stop the wonderful owner from “gushing” about the place and it’s owners! Thank you! The cookies were gone soon, the jelly goes home with us to share with Family & friends. What a beautiful sanctuary, sitting on the swing watching the ducks on the lake. Our journey takes us to one more location for 3 more days, then home. Thank you for being a part of our adventure! Your “extra touches” will continue to bring smiles to all that stay here! Karyn & Park Marks - Seattle, WA

| 6/17&18/06 Thank you to you and your family for a very enjoyable stay. We truly appreciate all your thought and kindness in how you have designed a welcoming, cozy and most comfortable cabin, including the “decent” family films for our viewing.

| 6/19/06 As I read thru the previous comments, they all reflect our sentiments EXACTLY! As I planned our amazing vacation to Alaska I ran across your cabin. After reserving it, I was so excited and thought to myself that it would almost be more fun to spend our 12 days in Alaska at this cabin! We’ve been to Seward, Cooper Landing, Homer, Anchorage, Denali & Fairbanks. But when we pulled in last night, my kids were ecstatic! They exclaimed that this must be heaven and why couldn’t we spend every night here! I was so happy that we were not disappointed, but went beyond our expectations! What a wonderful place you have! I will also definitely be a walking advertisement for you! How relaxing to spend the evening canoeing & paddling on your serene lake and just soaking in those beautiful mountains. Thank you! In Chirst, Dave, Melody, Kaitlynn & Kipp Miller - Alburnett, IA
