What Our Guests Say About Us .....

 

These are some passages taken from the Honey Ridge Guest Book....

We were excited to find your description of your cottage on the internet to be more than accurate!  Sitting on the deck overlooking the woods was priceless.  The cottage is gorgeous!  We are so excited to have been the first pet owners to rent.  Our German Shepherd, Alex, loved it as much as we did.  We are glad you made your cottage pet friendly, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to enjoy this beauty!  We will be back.  [and they were!]

My husband's "last minute" decision for us to get away for a few days was the best thing he did for us in 23 years' of anniversary gifts!  What a wonderful piece of heaven Honey Ridge is! Please know the hard work and love that you both put into your cottage puts many smiles on the hearts that pass through it.  Thank you.

We fell in love with your cabin, so clean & warm feeling!  We love to travel with our dogs so that is much appreciated (that we can keep them here).  Peaceful setting but close to the state park - a real gem!  Thank you for being so accessible and helpful.

We loved your cabin tucked away in the hills!  We are expecting our first child, and this was our last get-a-way just the two of us.  We are already planning to come back next year with our son.

Dear Diary, what a wonderful day it's been!  How quiet is quiet? 7 deer and 2 turkeys walking in front of the deck at 5:00 a.m. and you hear them before you see them.  6:15 p.m. 4 more deer moving downhill... you hear nothing but the wind and birds and our new friends, the goats and chickens  - the absolute quiet is amazing.  Beth is an absolute treasure as far as the area is concerned.  This place cannot be beaten no matter where you go if you want peace and quite.

As always, we had a wonderful time here at Honey Ridge.  When Jake and I had to think of a place to take our short honeymoon, we knew just where to go.  Our fourth time here (and our first as husband and wife) was just as wonderful as it was three years ago!  Thank you so much for the hospitality and we will see you next year!  [they did]

I called around to a couple of cabins, but when I spoke with Chuck on the phone, I was so comfortable, we booked the weekend without seeing the cabin on the website.  The cabin was perfect!  Just what we had envisioned... a peaceful setting in the woods...  we loved the fireplace and the jacuzzi.  It is really thoughtful of you to have the extra things in the kitchen like spices and such.  We'll definitely be back!

We are really glad we chose your cabin for a vacation.  It is fantastic, very beautiful inside and the deck is very peaceful with a wonderful view.  Your folder of activities and dining was put together very well and was helpful, to.  We plan to come back as soon as we can fit it into our schedules.

Another heartfelt "thank you" for your kindness and hospitality [they've been here several times].  My "first timers" loved it here.  Emily (9) says "ooh, this is so sweet!"  That was day one - now she asks "can't we stay here a whole week?"  Ken, our dear son, appreciated your handiwork, Chuck.  He was surprised by the craftsmanship and all of the amenities, as well as the location.    We hope to keep this as a frequent destination for many season and years to come.

A very pleasant vacation.  The cabin is bright, private, clean, beautiful, and spacious.  Our 2 yr. old loved the deck and walkway.  He also enjoyed the spacious floors to play on.  My husband & I are impressed with your construction.  You did a good job!

Beth & Chuck,

Thank you for opening your homes to us.  Kiley thanks you for letting her milk the dairy goat.  The cabin is beautiful, warm and more than we had expected.  Our stay was complete.  We hope to share this privilege again.

...  My oldest son, my wife and I are so glad that we took the winding road to this lovely cabin.  It was hard to decide if to stay in this warm, peaceful place or explore the caves & footpaths.   Fortunately we were able to do both.  With tired legs and happy hearts we thank you for your most generous hospitality and can't wait to get back.

[Owen kept a diary; here are excerpts] In the midst of having a marvelous time.  Arrived early yesterday... We were simply stunned by how wonderful the cottage is.  Everything is excellent, & I'm already feeling rejuvenated from life in the city...  went for a hike at Old Man's Cave... took in Rock House (also awesome); also went into Nelsonville for Parade of the Hills; Coffee Cup is good place to eat...  Best decision I've made in a long time?  To find out from Beth and Chuck if we're able to stay an extra night.  Best sounds in the world?  The voices of your wife and child, a gentle breeze in the tree tops... So pleased to be staying an extra night.  This place is so good for the soul.  Natalie enjoys the dogs and turning on the porch lights; Tricia's getting a lot of knitting done; I like reading on the deck .  We all like the peace and quiet..... The stars at night are a must-see!  It's been years since I've seen the Milky Way.... Thanks for a great time!  We feel as if we've discovered a great secret, and the time I've spent with Tricia and Natalie here is invaluable.  We hope to make this our regular family getaway.  Beth and Chuck - you guys are awesome!  May God bless you and the ministry of Honey Ridge.

Return trip Nov. '08: "Natalie's had an exceptional time.  She's ready to move here.  She couldn't stop giggling when we arrived.  Quote from Friday night: I'm having so much fun I can't even stop!"

Dear Beth and Chuck,

We had such a nice time at your cabin.  Everything was so well kept and your hospitality was truly exceptional.  We really appreciate all the little things you did to help our mini-vacation run so smoothly. .........  We look forward to more retreats at your cabin.  It was obvious you both put quite a bit of TLC into it and we thoroughly enjoyed being your guests.

(and from the children...)

Dear Beth & Chuck,

We liked your cabin.  We liked your goats.  Hannah liked your comfortable bed.  Hannah was a little scared of the fire pit at first.  Catie was not.  I love you.  Thank you. 

Hannah & Catie

 

Beth -

Your hospitality is unbeatable.  We were looking for a peaceful retreat and surely found one here.  What a man (or woman) sows that will he reap.  We have had peace sown into us ~ I pray you reap peace.

Beth & Chuck,

We will be back!  A perfect respite for a mother & daughter.  Loved the cabin, woods, hot chocolate, gas stove, jacuzzi, quiet, chickens, goats and FRESH EGGS!!

 

We will spread the word about Honey Ridge.

Beth & Chuck ~

Wow!  Beyond all of our expectations.  What a wonderful place you have ~ comfortable and so peaceful.  We had everything we needed to feel at home.  Thank you for sharing your cabin and your time...  Your recommendations regarding things to do and places to see were right on the mark!  Thank you for everything!

Dear Beth & Chuck,

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your cottage.  The cottage is so beautiful and so clean.  The location is great.  We had a wonderful time hiking to the falls and Old Man's Cave.   After 7 miles of hiking it was very nice to come back to this cottage and relax in a warm and cozy place.  This was the perfect getaway weekend.  We can't wait to come back.  Thanks again!!
