Jeffrey,
Sebastian and I had a wonderful, relaxing time at your beautiful home.
Thank you for letting us stay and enjoy your wonderful retreat. It’s just what we needed to unwind.
Your attention to detail is incredible. From the soft towels, fresh flowers and home baked cookies. We could easily live here, 24/7.
We also want to thank you for joining us for dinner. It was great hearing about all your adventures!
We will be back- that’s for sure! Our love to you, Fred & Ethel.
Love,
Renee & Sebastian
P.S. We didn’t want to go home so we stayed 2 extra nights. Jeffrey- would you like to adopt us?
A very peaceful vacation-
The most restful we've had in years. Jeffrey was so attentive yet discreet. We enjoyed all of the pluses- The pool, the game room, and especially the garden.
We also enjoyed toothing around all of the roads and byways of the city, Lake Country is so interestnig and the history of the resorts , early pioneers, etc... We found fascinating.
What beautiful scenery, comfortable accommodations, rural yet close to anything you need - the best of all possible worlds.
Jane and Steve
Here are a few excerpts from the Guest Book!
Well, Jeffrey, it was incredible.
You have truely exceeded anything we were told to expect. From the horsback riding and massages you arranged to the special carrot cake and Christmas tree you lovingly prepared, everything was magical. This was the perfcet lakeview retreat to celbrade a relaxing birthday.
Sunday night, after watching a romantic movie in the hot tub, we sipped champagne while gasing upon the monlit lake. I knew it was the right time and place for me to ask Sara to marry me. She said, "Yes!"
Thank you so much for everything you did that made this most spcial moment truely unforgetable. We are looking forward to celebrating our first anniversary in this lovers hideout.
Love, the newly engaged,
Ben and Sara
Jeffrey,
If "the devil is in the details" then Jeffrey, you must be quite the little devil!
The appointment of the home ("home" because this is not simply a house!) has been duly noted and admired. From the fresh flowers in the bedroom to the much appreciaciated bounty in the kitchen - all wonderful.
How we envy your sense of style!
Much more than aesthetics we leave with an experience of being showered with your many kindesses. We know you "didn't have to" but we want you to know we noticed, absorbed it, and thank you from our hearts.
Love and Aloha,
Dal, Carol and Michael
Jeffrey,
Thank you so much for everything. You made the entire weekend incredibly east and left no detail uncared for. You are a fantastic host. If one flips through all of these pages, there would be nothing new they could find in my compliments. This truly was amazing! We wish you continued success and happiness...
Can't wait to come back,
Matt and Candace
Dear Jeffrey,
There's hardly anything to add to what's already been said in this book...
We came a long way and I took my time to find a perfect place for a little holiday within our big tour; and we're both so happy we found that perfect place!
It was great meeting you and the dogs and we hope we'll meet again. Would love to visit this place late September, early October when the weather's still comfy here and when it starts raining in Amsterdam...
It's been a joy!!!

Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
We notice all the details amongst the grand beauty: a vase with three pretty yellow roses on the window sill, the beautifully arranged fruit basket on the table, the running table top fountains, pruned plantings, cookies from the Mertz's welcoming Isabella & Gina, the bowl of candy (Reese's... one of our favs!) and flowers in the living room, bedroom and bathroom, the luxurious and pressed sheets (too much effort in my home but always admired in fine establishments)
The general surrounding are awesome- the lovely color of your garden and welcoming sitting areas, immaculate pool, reflect your generosity in creating a sanctuary for all your guests.
And, of course, you!
Tasteful, wonderful, warm. From the big to small amenities, your thoughtfulness is apparent.
Thank you from,
Kelly, Marty, Isabella and Gina
PS. The hummingbirds are unreal!
3:00 pm- Good morning, Jeffrey! :)
You are a sweetheart! We have been here for four days, but it seems we just walked through the door. I never thought that my dream could come true. You truly made us feel like we are in paradise. This (Your) house is not only filled with love, but it is also a second home to us. We had the best experience any couple could ever wish for! Your attention to details made our anniversary magical. It will be unbelievably hard for us to come back to reality from this enchanting fairytale. Thank you for letting us stay here twice as long as we planned, and we can't wait until we come back. Your cookies are delicious, can I have your recipe? We are dedicating our lives to finding genetic connections to you, so we can visit you more often. We will miss you dearly and your adorable dogs (Fred & Ethel Mertz). Take care of yourself and we will see you soon!
Do cbugatuve (Good-bye in Russian)

Jeffrey & Future Guests,
This place is AMAZING! Upon arrival, you greeted me and gave me the tour, and left us to our own things, with your readily available. This lace has everything- not just a comfy bed, hot tub, game room, and Showtime. No, on top of that there was a ton of snacks, breakfast foods, drinks, every kitchen item one could ask for, a stocked medicine cabinet, records, books, so many great things.
I proposed to my girlfriend here over a romantic home-cooked dinner and she said yes! Then we decorated the x-mas tree, and to top it all off, sat in the hot tub while it actually SNOWED!
Much love to you Jeffrey, you are a great man! Thank you for your kindness and great hospitality. We will be back for sure! Loved the COOKIES!
Jeremiah & Emily
PS: Your dogs rock! And the bed is like a cloud :)
Ya know Jeffrey,
In these economic disasterous times when folks ask "how are you" I answer by saying "It is the best of times and the worst of times"
Being here at your loveley home is truly the best of times. Thanks for being a great guy, superhost and for setting up the most lovely home away from home.
We shall see much of you in the future.
Have a fine summer and take good care of Ethel & Fred- Wonderful pals.
So until we meet you again, konw there is love in our hearts for you all.
Our Best,
Jon, Gary & April Mae of San Francsico
Jeffrey,
You've truely created an oasis here- thank you for sharing paradise with us! We couldn't imagine a more perfect place to get away from it all. Your eye for details is inspiring - as we relaxed in the hot tub I took mental notes of all the things I want to copy if we own a home someday.
We want a home as welcoming and special as yours! You haven't missed a single detail...amazing! As inspiring as your home is, it wouldn't have been nearly as cool if it wasn't for your hospitality. You're such a generous and warm host. (The fresh baked cookies were a bonus!)
We can't watit to return! In the meantime, we'll tell all our friends who are seeing R&R to visit you and the doggies!
Thank you!
Gary and Kristin
