Dear Anne and Horst,

A long overdue thanks for such warm hospitality last summer. Your home was the perfect end of the journey after a very long drive. My daughter felt so welcomed and at home and marvelled at your back yard wildlife and fresh blackberries. Bowen Island will always be a fond memory - not just because of my nephew's wedding, but because of your smiles and home. Patricia Cawley Reid

To Horst and Anne:
Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and your compelling stories. We have really enjoyed ourselves and hope to visit again soon. Keep in good health. We will check out Horst's blogs and Flickr and look forward to reading his book! All the best, Christine & Don.

Hi Anne & Horst,
Thanks again for making our stay so lovely. Cindy, Matt, Sienna and Imogen.

Hi Anne,
Sehr gemütlich, vielen Dank. We felt really relaxed and "at home". Good sleep, good food, thank you. - I guess that's a Peacock next door somewhere? Now that's different. Thanks again, Steve and Heidi.

 Many thanks for your wonderful and special hospitality this past week, shown to us both. Thank you for your delicious cakes and fresh fruit, and good conversation. Blessings, and sincerely, Thomas and Margaret.

From German speaking guests:

Vielen Dank, dass Du die Kinder auf so eine liebe Art begleitet hast; durch Dich haben sie sich in Stück mehr zu Hause gefühlt. Wir werden Dich und auch die Schule immer in guter Erinnerung haben und hoffen, dass sich unsere Wege vielleicht irgendwann mal wieder kreuzen. Dir und Deinem Mann alles Liebe und viele liebe Grüsse von Georg und Judi.

... The food was excellent and we really enjoyed our walk that you took us on. Thank you both for a wonderful stay at your B&B. It was great!

We had an excellent breakfast this morning. Thanks for your hospitality. We enjoyed our stay at your house. It is lovely and we hope to come back and visit you soon. 

Thank you so much for your wonderful European-style hospitality!

We really enjoyed your breakfasts and especially your conversation (and cakes!).

We are greateful for you making our little holiday 'celebration' very special - more so than we imagined.

We hope you have a wonderful remainder to your summer. Perhaps you'll see us again when we need a break from the 'big' city.

All the best - thanks!! Lisa & Shanto

Dear Anne & Horst,

Just a quick note from the Rockies to say thank you for your hospitality and also, a BIG thanks for delivering our bags!! The memories of Bowen Island will take us a long way this year.

August 2001:

Dear Anne and Horst,

Thank you for welcoming me into your home and allowing me to "practice relaxing". I really enjoyed my time here and hope to return one day soon. Please assure Felix (Ed: our cat) that although I'm returning home to my boyfriend, not a day will pass that I won't think of him. He is my one true love!  I hope you enjoy the chocolate. Remember: everything in moderation.

Take care, Nicole.

Dear Anne & Horst,
I talked to Ken today and told him what a great gift he had given his parents on their anniversary. Walt and I really enjoyed our evening with you, and Anne, your cake and dessert was so delicious. What a nice thing to do. Walt and I had a long walk around Killarney Lake this morning, about 2-1/2 hours. Very beautiful.
Have a wonderful holiday in Europe this summer.

Sincerely,
Walt and Liz Bilicki 

Guest Message from 1993: 

Dear Anne & Horst,
I couldn't let "our" happening pass without writing to thank you so much for your kindness and assistance - for a pair of lost Americans. You certainly went out of your way to help us and made our visit to your island very pleasant. (your very BEAUTIFUL island).
Our lodgings were very clean and comfortable and our breakfast was wonderful. We wish you good fortune with your Bed & Breakfast and if we are ever up that way again (and we could be, because of Caren Walters) we will most certainly call for accommodation.
Thanks again and God Bless you.
Sincerely, Betty & Matt Medicus

Darling Downs Mushrooms:

In recreating guest messages from written records, I found the business card of Greg and Carol Holden of Queensland, Australia. They were side-tracked to Bowen Island on their way to Whistler after attending a "Mushroom Growers' Convention" in Vancouver. We quite enjoyed their visit, talking about their country and about Canada.
