QUOTES FROM OUR GUESTBOOK:

SHORT AND SWEET
"Lovely, lovely, lovely! A delightful respite and a verdant oasis. Thanks." San Francisco, California.

FAMILY WEDDING
"Our family's multi-generation reunion was relaxed and homey! The main purpose for our visit to Vancouver was our niece's wedding, but the two days prior to the wedding and restful day after made your B&B a great place to gather. Each member of our 4 generation group found something to keep them amused and relaxed. Our 20-month-old loved the lily pond's bubbles and the birds. Adults enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and outdoor lounging areas. Your hospitality was superb and we hope to return in two years for our nephew's wedding!" Ottawa, Ontario.

A REUNION OF OLD FRIENDS
"Thanks for giving us such a nice setting for our reunion of women friends. Liked your Vancouver decorating theme throughout. Most attractive place. Food was great. We followed the directive chiseled into one of your decorative garden stones: BLOOM. We did!" Los Angeles, Coquitlam and Sidney B.C., Illinois.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CONVERTED
"This was our first bed and breakfast experience, and you've succeeded in completely converting us! Thank you for the information about the Vancouver area and your fabulous hospitality. The Breakfast Bar provisions were great! P.S. We know this sounds strange, but WE LOVED THE WEATHER.. It was a refreshing change for us. (Don't worry, it will warm up soon)." Signed: Escaping a heat wave in Texas.

BED AND BREAKFAST EXCHANGE
"Our first B&B exchange with IBBEx. What fun! Though we have stayed in many B&B's over the years, none has ever been like this. Was truly a sanctuary! Thank you for graciously having us in your cottage. Loved the animals (cat, squirrels, etc.) as well as the wonderful birds. We'll see you again when we return to Vancouver. Hope you can come up north one day. We'd love to have you stay at our B&B." Crescent Harbor Hideaway B&B, Alaska.

STROLLING AND NATURE WALKING
"We all enjoyed our stay with you. The boys had a good rest from their long trip and we loved your gardens and enjoyed our strolls around the neighborhood and the nature walks along Capilano River. We'll certainly stop by again on our next journey back from Bangkok!"

WEEKEND GETAWAY
"So glad we discovered you on the internet. We'll look you up next time too! Nice set-up you've got. Very relaxing. The perfect spot for a weekend getaway...Thanks!' Seattle, Washington.

RESTORATIVE
"How fortunate I am to be able to enjoy your superb B&B, a true restorative after a wearing flight from Toronto. What a splendid start to a vacation in B.C. I'll recommend it to friends. Hope to return someday." Burlington, Ontario.

SECOND COMING
"Well, we are back again two years later, and it is still just as good here as it was the first time (except for the weather!). Coming back here felt "like home" We have had a brilliant time. Let's hope our family can come back in another two years! Thanks again." Edinburgh, Scotland.

LEPRECHAUNS
"Not only was this one of the nicest bed and breakfasts we ever stayed in, but the hosts were unobtrusive to the max! We called you folks "The Leprechauns". We made full use of the gardens, tables, pool, hot tub, and kitchen facilities. The Danish pastries you left in our suite while we were out was delicious. Also, the in-suite information/directions book was extremely helpful. Thanks for fitting us in." Brandford, CT.

TO OHIO, FROM OHIO
(Hosts' Note: Lois is originally from the Cleveland, Ohio area. When the following guests visited our B&B, we were in Ohio visiting Lois's family). "So sorry we missed seeing you, but heard lots of wonderful things about you from your assistant. You have a lovely place and have thought of everything to make your guests comfortable and insure their privacy. Thanks for the wonderful pastries, your book of directions and suggestions, more than ample food supply, etc. Your assistant was a most gracious hostess as well." Cincinnati, Ohio.

IT'S RAINING? SO WHAT?
"Your hospitality was evident in many ways - the lush towels, plentiful fresh fruit and tasty surprises awaiting us each afternoon after our adventures. We have loved Vancouver and West Vancouver. The rain didn't deter us in the least! People are friendly and helpful, public transportation is super (loved the Seabus!) and the neighborhoods are interesting and varied. Your restaurant suggestions were great...Lastly, we appreciated all the information about the area which you have available for guests. Your information book is very complete and fun to read. Thanks for everything!" Friday Harbor, Washington.

LOVED THAT SWIMMING POOL
"This was a great place to stay. Plenty of room, nice beds, great food supplies -- AND A SWIMMING POOL!!!!!! Too bad you were booked for tomorrow night!" Arhus, Denmark.

SQUIRREL VISIT
"We have enjoyed our stay so much. The pool was refreshing this morning, and the hot tub has been so good for spastic muscles. During breakfast we had a visit from a squirrel and from the cat. The birds are singing outside and we are carrying the melody indoors. We thank the Lord that we found this place!" Comox Valley, Vancouver Island.
