Well we were not quite prepared for the spectacular setting
and the graciousness of all you have offered us--we are
still on stimuli overload!! Thank you for the tour and this
wonderful retreat far beyond our our expectations==our
friend who couldn't join us missed the trip of a life time.

My family had a wonderful time this past weekend. There was
so much to do, and so much that we had planned to do, that
we couldn't take you up on your generous offer to come down
for wine.
A little (or a lot of) hiking, a little hot tubbing, a
little wandering in the orchard and picking oranges, a lot
of cooking, and the time just flew.
I could have spent the whole time gazing out at the hills in
their spring greenery and sitting under the lilac.
We saw the resident quail and wild turkeys and heard the
coyotes (and the frogs, who could miss the frogs). We loved
the house - room for everyone to be together and to get
away.
Thank you again for extending your time to us during our
visit, and for creating such a wonderful place to gather!

Thank you for a magical week at Cottontail Creek Ranch. Our
visit
was more than we had ever hoped, and each member of our
extended
family and friends found wonderful amusements, relaxation
and memories.
For Chris, Dax and me, it was fantastic. Perhaps the most
fantastic
for Dax! He has been telling everyone in Maine about Chop,
Pumpkin,
Muffin, the bulldozer, the fire truck and the backhoe. The
birth of
the lambs has also gotten a lot of press. He gets so
excited that
his stories fall over each other, and yesterday, he insisted
on
wearing his Cottontail Creek hat when we went out to shovel
the snow (finally).
The ranch is wonderful. The hikes and rides (of all types)
were
very special and brought my level of relaxation
to a whole new state.
When we rented the house, we never expected all of the
extras and the
incredible warmth you provided; and we truly appreciate it.
We all want to know if Pumpkin had her baby!
I hope this was the first of more visits and a long
friendship with you, and wish for you and yours a happy and healthy 2007.
Fondly,
Renee, Chris and Dax
