Thank you for the wonderful weekend at your vacation rental! We are female descendants of Betty, age 14 and up, who gather the weekend after Mother's Day every year for a ladies' retreat. We call it WOW, for Women Only Weekend. This year 11 ladies (and 2 more who visited for dinner Saturday night), representing 4 generations, drove in from all over Texas, Alabama, and Virginia, and spent the weekend catching up, eating, and enjoying your beautiful lake view! We enjoyed the wildlife right in the back yard, we all ate together at the huge table on your screen-porch, and we appreciate the kind hospitality you and your husband shared with us, from feeding the catfish, to supplying us with unlimited ice and plenty of firewood for the fire pit. This is the most well stocked place we have stayed in the 17 years we have gathered. We didn't even unload our cookware and dishes from the car, because your house had plenty of everything. We used your roasting sticks to cook hotdogs and toast marshmallows over the fire. Everyone slept well, no matter which bed they were using. We have often had to provide our own linens and towels, and it's great that it's included here so we didn't have to carry the extra laundry home afterward. And with cooking, dishwashing, and 11 people showering, we never even ran low on hot water!! Everything was clean and welcoming. We will definitely be calling you again for accommodations in a future year! Thanks so much! ~ Betty; daughters Patti, Janda, Nancy, & Diana; granddaughters Angela, Sheila, Holly, Kara, & Bailey, great-granddaughters Melody, Jamie, & Ashlee (who just married into the family in December)!
