6/6/06 to 6/10/06 - These tree houses are magical! Phil and Jodie you have created something that is "very special" here among and in the trees. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable and at home - in your home. The breakfasts were outstanding, the flowers and plants are beautiful on these well kept grounds. We are looking forward to returning to the relaxing and peaceful tree houses. Thanks again for your hospitality- Richard and Mitzi Maxwell -West Palm Beach, FL Like a steak in a fine restaurant: Rare, and well done! Phil, touch your trees! Richard.. -

June 9th, / Phil and Jodie, The Shiitake has been the experience of a lifetime for me, especially. Since I was a young girl reading Swiss Family Robinson, I have dreamed of living in a real tree house. I am 55 years old now and the closest I've come to an experience like this week has been my many visits to the 'Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse' in Walt Disney world. I've always loved it and have pretended that I lived there, even if only for 30 minutes. Really, Phil and Jodie, I'm in love with this tree house and the whole experience on your beautiful and expansive acreage. As if the tree house wasn't enough, your friendliness and wonderful hospitality have been beyond description. Breakfast has been delicious and exciting every day and the daily walks to Takilma Road very enjoyable. I can't wait to come back and will be dreaming of my tree house until then. Thank you! Love Marcy and Jerry Mandello, WPB, FL.

6/18/06 - Phil and Jodie, Breakfast was phenomenal! Our view was beautiful… Loved the seclusion (and the bathroom) Loft beds are comfortable and it was fun having a tree trunk right though the middle of everything- Thanks for building such an unusual "bed and breakfast" We had a great time! Good luck with "Rucifer" Sadie and the new hound. Must be fun to have so many animals. Steve, Tracy, Jared and Mike Fore Livermore, CA.

July 6th, 7th 2006 / Wow this place is amazing. It is so cool how you got a house up here and everything is so well done. Breakfast was very yummy, I was getting tired of cereal everyday for the past months, it was great. I can't believe you built it yourself! Everything was awesome. Thank You Alex Brennan Vancouver, B.C. Canada

7/12/06 - Phil and Jody Incredible!! This trip has been in the works for almost a year and the constant was, the tree house stop. I'm now the best Grandma in the world. My Grandson said this was the best place ever. You have thought of everything to make our stay so memorable. This is defiantly a repeat. Thank you, Thank you Rena Jones

7/13/06 - Phil and Jodie, People like you, with the vision and endurance to do something like this, make life more fun and exciting for people like me. What a great place! You have something very special here and I'll never forget my night in the treehouse. On a more practical note, So clean and your attention to detail, welcome note, flowers, decoration, personality, all adds so much to the experience. I'll be recommending you to lots of people. Bev Gonnant St. Lewis

7/9/06 - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all your hospitality!! We felt right at home here and have never slept better or ate better! You two have the best hideaway in the U.S. Keep up the excellent work and hope to get back soon! Thanks again for everything!! The Hanson Family - Madelyn, Wes Ian, Derek, Kim

July 4th, 5th, and 6th, 2006 / Dear Jodie and Phil…. It was a blessing being 'bumped' here to your tree house. It has been such an amazing adventure for our family. It really forced us to slow down and enjoy all of the wonderful surroundings: nature, the deer, etc. The kids loved the rope swing and being able to just run and play. They also loved having they're own space in the loft! We have been pleasantly surprised be all that came with staying here with you… The fireworks were amazing! The food was fabulous! And your hospitality wonderful! It was a great end to sit around the fire last night and visit about our adventures here in the trees… Thank you so much! The girls can't wait to come back next year! We will love to share your little paradise with all of our family & friends! Sincerely, Kaye, Megan, Myah, and Nate. -Albany, OR

July 2006 / Phil, Jodie and Austin, Thank you so much for this one-of-a-kind stay! It was exactly what our family needed after a very busy school year. We loved the Cottage Tree house, your gourmet breakfasts, the horses, dogs, cats, Rucifer, disk golf, the surrounding activities… and especially your warmth and hospitality. Thank you. You have truly created an oasis for those of us fortunate enough to have found you. Take care and maybe we'll see you again. -We'd love to come back! Randy, Fay, Karly, Brittany and Jenna Goss -Edmonton Alberta, Canada

9/1/06 - The tree house was much more than we thought it would be. We really enjoyed Phil's Gourmet breakfast. It was also a thrill to have deer right outside our door. Thanks for the memories. The McPherson Family - Jim, Shannon, Zach, Gentry, Sean and Luke

August 2nd '06 / Phil and Jody, I really enjoyed fishing, the breakfasts were great, -Lana We, loved living in a treehouse for a few days! Jamie read about 'Heidi in the Alps' as she lay by the window in the loft, listening to the wind in the trees. The details in the tree house are superb. I love the number of windows and the fancy ones. The deer with her two fauns were a nice added touch too! You have a wonderful place and we're glad you are willing to share it. Thanks, Maya, Todd, Lana and Jamie Ferris Vancouver, WA

Thanksgiving 2006 / Our little family had a wonderful time in your tree house. Cozy and warm, beautiful weather -we couldn't have asked for more. Maybe next time we will have better luck with no ear infections -although finding an urgent care did add to our adventure and didn't slow us down much. The redwoods, Ashland street lighting, wild cats, -so much to do! Thank you for everything- Isak, Lilli, Bill and Elizabeth Skorohodov -
