    "Just four days ago my wife and I came back from a two-week mission trip in Botosani, Romania. We thought that we had seen the most beautiful place in the world. We stand corrected! This enchanted treasure is a place where nature and beauty collided.

We enjoyed every moment of our stay, watching the toads and frogs hop across the pathways, looking up at the stars through cypress treetops, drinking coffee on the bank of the cypress creek. The room is wonderful, very well appointed, it was like spending a night in old Mexico. The basket of breakfast goodies delivered to the door was also very nice. We will be back." K & JB, Austin, TX

It’s like India meets Texas! I’ve never bathed in a more comfortable bath or slept in a more comfortable bed!" C & N, Houston, TX

    "The opportunity to relax and unwind is a welcome chance for anyone. For my wife, self and 5 month old in the belly, it was a Godsend in the form of cozy room, delicious meal, good fellowship and the presence of nature found here. There’s something real and earnestly alive about this place. Experiencing that helps to revive the same quality in each of us, a quality that city life tends to glaze over and harden. Bill and Pat, thanks for your hospitality." D & CH, San Antonio, TX
