"We are both back at work today and it's really not that bad because we are still on a 'French Creek Ranch - South Dakota' high! Our pictures turned out great and looking at them makes us feel even better. We would like to thank you again for your hospitality and making our vacation the most enjoyable and relaxing best time we have ever had (that includes three cruises). We're still smiling!"

"We had a great trip and really enjoyed your place and getting to know you both. We will be sure to suggest your place if we hear someone coming your way. We told the kids about the Buffalo Roundup; they thought that sounded pretty cool so maybe that will be our next trip out!"
