What do Guests Have to Say About Us?

Below please find some of the comments made by our guests:

We received an email from Jill and J.C.:
"We just wanted to drop you a quick line and tell you thank you so much for having us at your beautiful lodge. We couldn't have asked for better hospitality, better location, nor a better room. You both were so friendly and welcoming to us as we arrived and every morning as we set out to our next adventure. You're tucked in far enough that you don't hear all the busyness of the town, yet close enough to walk to anything we may have wanted to do/see. Our room was wonderful. It was comfy, beautifully decorated and felt like a guest room at a home compared to other hotel rooms. Thank you so very much. We've told all of our friends and family of your beautiful place and hope to see you next year. Thanks again"

Kelly and Drew from Ohio sent us this email:

"I wanted to write to you to thank you for our wonderful experience. We were able to upgrade to a spa room the first two nights and it was wonderful. The fireplace heating also added a nice romantic feeling. Both of the rooms that we stayed in were very comfortable and clean! on the day that we changed rooms our baggage was moved during the day while we were skiing to the new room, That was a big help, You both do a wonderful job of accommodating your guests. The location was also wonderful, We were able to walk everywhere we went. Thank you again for all of your help, including directions to the restaurants........Yummy! We look forward to staying with you on our next trip..."

Kim, the Bay Area, CA wrote that:

"A couple of weeks ago my teenage daughters, Jennifer and Sarah, came to your hotel with their friends (3 boys) and stayed in room 24. They came home and told us how nice your hotel was and how kind you both were to them. They also were so happy to find a nice and clean establishment at such a reasonable rate... They were thrilled with your hotel and services and expecially how well you took care of them. As a parent, of course I worry about them all weekend when they are gone, and truly appreciate the extra care you gave them!.... I'm sure you will be seeing more of them this winter.."

Matt, Utah emailed us after his wedding:

"Veronica and I would like to thank you for everything you did for us and our group. You helped make our wedding a truly unforgettable experience. Having our entire party stay at your hotel was wonderful. It made for a three day reception. Everybody in our group had nothing but wonderful comments for the two of you. I know that anytime any of us return to Lake Tahoe we will be staying with you. Thanks again and we look forward to our next trip."

Dave, San Francisco wrote:
"..Just wanted to drop you both a note saying thank you for an enjoyable stay at your "new" lodge. Also want to wish you much luck in your venture and I already know that you're going to be very successful. I was impressed that even though the both of you are in the first 30 days of ownership and with all that you are doing, you took the time out to talk for a few minutes. It's those little things that are most important..."

Shannon, CA emailed this:

"...I cannot express my gratitude enough for the hospitatlity you and Hans have expressed even in this impersonal way. You have made me feel like this is the easiest thing in the world and everythign is falling into place. It just makes it feel meant to be, and I think that you and your husband have an integral part in that. Thank you. I've heard such nightmare stories from friends and family about how planning a wedding is so stressful and horrible and you never want to do it again. You have helped me keep my excitement and I'm so happy to be partnering with you for this..."

Bobby, Santa Rosa emailed us with:
"..My family and I were guests at the Avalon Lodge on Saturday January 24th. I wish to express once again my thanks for your great service and wish you the best in your new ownership of the lodge. ..We are looking forward to seeing the changes that are in store for the lodge and as we are not far off from our next visit to your neck of the woods, we are looking forward to seeing you and Mrs. Hansen soon!.."
