Here's what some of our previous guests have written...
about our Toronto Downtown Bed and Breakfast
| F | rom the moment I arrived, the care with which y'all :) treated me, and I'm sure the care with which you treat all your visitors, made me feel truly at home. Thanks for your calm resolve in helping us get the licence -- I'm sure I would have lost it without you being there, Jim. The wedding day was absolutely perfect, right down to the ideal weather (how did you manage that one?!). Alycia has mistakenly given me too much credit for planning such a beautiful day, but that credit really goes to both of you, and for your sensitive attention to detail we'll both be eternally grateful. Rest assured we'll send our friends and family to your door so that they might experience the same warm welcome and generous spirit that emanates from all that you do. If you are ever in West Virginia, or D.C., or Idaho, or New Orleans, call us up and we'd love you to allow us to return the hospitality. - Take care, Susan & Alycia. Washington DC, WV,, Moscow ID, New Orleans LA |
|
| T | hank You! Thank You! Thank You! We enjoyed every second of our stay at your delightful B&B. Our trip to this city couldn't have been better, thanks to you all. The breakfasts were to die for, and your hospitality was ... well, let's just say we are sad (devastated, really) to leave, dying to come back, and this has been (by far!) our favorite B&B of all time! - Thank you again! X) Val & Julia, Denver CO |
|
| W | ell, what can we say? The food and accommodations were great., but those aren't what make a B&B truly special. No, it will be the two of you we will remember when we think of TDBAB. How you arranged a wonderful wedding for us, as though it were every bit as special for you as it was for us. How you took care of all the details and calmed us when we became ridiculously nervous about our plans. And we'll never forget those great afternoon conversations fueled by your magnificent lemon drop martinis. We have had a very special time here an feel like we are leaving as friends. - Love, Kathy and Marge, Richmond RI |
 |
| W | hat a wonderful place to spend our anniversary. All the luxuries, including time to sit and read the paper while wonderful breakfast smells wafted over us!! And, the breakfasts were as wonderful as they smelled! Thank you for making our stay so great.-- Brian and Betty, Vancouver BC |
 |
| I | cannot tell you how much it meant to me to relax in your calm, peaceful, inviting surroundings after a very unpleasant meeting earlier in the day. It helped me to totally relax and clear my mind. The love and care you put into your place and into your interactions with people makes this a place with soul. See you again soon!-- Patti & Bob, Ottawa ON [2nd visit in one year] |
 |
| T | hank you very much for the most wonderful stay in your beautiful home. We really appreciated being pampered by the luxurious bath towels, soft beds, welcoming cocktails, good conversation, friendliness and those breakfasts ... it all certainly had the WOW factor! Longing to return one day, - Paula, Rose and Katrina, Beaulieu UK and Kenya |
|
| W | e've stayed in many B&Bs all over the world, but have never experienced such a successful marriage of warmth and perfection that you two have managed to create. The breakfasts, of course, were in a class by themselves. Our suite was a beautifully calming refuge from busy days. We very much appreciated the flowers, especially the roses in the room and the nasturtiums - okay! pansies! - at breakfast. The cocktail hours and conversation over cheese were very memorable. Hope to see you again! - Tom & Kris, Milwaukee WI |
 |
| T | hanks for making our trip to the north country so memorable. I'm still amazed we became such fast friends after just one pitcher of martinis! When the time comes to flee across the border, this is where we'll be heading. Even if that time doesn't come, I'm sure we'll be back. There must be so many stories we haven't heard, and more amazing new people to meet. You are an inspiration. Thanks for being who you are. Love - Steve & Martha, Evanston IL |
|
| W | hat a wonderful way to kick off our marriage! I was reading some of the other passages in the guest book and it was so fun because everything that was said is exactly true about you guys. This was an amazing experience, and one that will not be forgotten! The best hosts, the best food, the best sleep, the best conversation anyone could ask for. We loved it here, REALLY LOVED IT! and hopefully we will be seeing you in the future! - Nick and Tracey, Guelph ON |
|
| W | hat a wonderful "find"! You have thought of everything ! Your warmth and hospitality, the gourmet breakfasts, the superlative Penthouse Suite, all contributed to a special weekend . Our good luck to you in your future ventures. Hope to see you again! Thank you so much! - Charles & Carolyn, Bloomfield Hills MI |
 |
| Q | ueridos Jim y Roger, Nuestra estancia aqui, tan maravillosa como siempre, vuestra amabilidad, simpatia y hospitale, dad estaran siempre unidas a nuestros recuedros. Hasta hoy es en el unico sitio, hotel, que nos hemos sentidos como en nuestra casa, por eso muchas gracia. Encontraremos a faltar, Jim, tus desayunos y las conversaciones mantenidas con Roger y su "diccionario." Esperamos que cuando bebais un caipirina, os acordeis de nosotros. Muchos besos, de dos espanoles que os aprecian, - Montse y Pedro Besos de una casi canadiense: Sara [Third visit] |
 |
| I | very sincerely thank you for these delightful twelve days. You made the most welcoming and charming place. But you did achieve more ... you turned Sarte to be wrong: "le Paradis c'est les autres." - Xavier, Paris France |
 |
| D | o we really have to leave? That was my first thought this morning - we feel so lucky to have had our wedding in your home. You have made us feel so welcome with your generosity and outstanding hospitality. We loved the lemon drop martinis and the wonderful company. We have already raved to our family and friends about you and we haven't even left! Thank you for making our wedding so perfect and our stay so special! We are definitely returning soon! - Adrienne and Carrie, South Lyon MI [and they did! see below!] |
|
| H | i! Happy Pride! How exciting! We don't know if you both knew we would be returning this soon, but we are so glad that we did. It has been a pleasure to be back in this warm and welcoming home with such a beautiful, loving couple. Thank you for taking time to spend with us. it really shows how see the two of you are. We will leave with many wonderful memories. Until the next time...all our best ." - take Care, Carrie and Adrienne, South Lyon MI [second visit in 2 weeks!] |

|
E |
verything has been fabulous from breakfast to the hospitality. What really made the experience exceptional was how you welcomed us and our family into your home and made our wedding day so special. We could not have planned our wedding day better ourselves. We love you and will definitely be back. Blessing to you, the twins, and Keith. - Love, Sarah and Jody, Cincinnati OH |
 |

|
| W | e would like to thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. Despite the extreme heat outside, we had a great time on our vacation. The effort you both put into being gracious hosts was truly appreciated. Thanks again! - Amber and Jon, Cleveland OH |
|
| I | think the fact that neither of us want to leave says all you need to know about how much we've enjoyed our stay! It has been wonderful from the word Go, with your superb hosting of our Big Day being something we will never forget. This has been a totally relaxing and chilled out time, helped along by this fabulous place and the 'hosts with the most!' -Elaine and Deb, Birmingham UK |
 |
| T | his by far is the best "home from home" we have ever had! Unfortunately as we intend to travel more, your home and hospitality will be a very hard act to follow! You have both certainly set the standard. Thank you for everything. - David and Julia, Hampshire UK |

|
| T | hank you so much for having made this 12-day trip the best.

You are the best in selling Canada as a great place to live! -- Sincerely, Anne-Catherine. PS: Pastry shops awaiting you in Paris! |
|
| Y | our warm hospitality, has helped make our daughter's wedding truly memorable. With your warm welcome, your beautifully appointed home, guidance in selecting restaurants, photographer, Roben the vicar, red roses everywhere, stories of your travels abroad, the sharing of your families and memories, your great sense of humour, we all had the best experience possible. And as much as we all loved your Lemon Drops, I think it was the highly anticipated breakfasts that I enjoyed the most. Thanks for all you have shared with us. We will be back soon. - Holly and Gary, Detroit |
|
| O | utstanding!!! Our whole stay was wonderful. Your hospitality, warmth, and humor made our visit one we will remember for a long, long time. Jim has breakfast down to a science: FANTABULOUS!! Keith, Christian and Ian ware wonderful kids;; you have lots to be proud of! We can't wait to return and see all we missed. Niagara Falls will be a must, and hopefully you will share that experience with us. Thank you so much for a wonderful week. - Love, Carol and Allan, Charleston SC |
|
| T | hank you so much for all you did to make me welcome. This is one of the finest B&Bs I've ever stayed in and it's certainly the friendliest. You've taken such good care of me and the breakfasts are the best ever, anywhere. With warmest regards and best wishes, - Marilyn, Palatine IL PS: I'll be back! |
|
| I | t's a shame we can't stay longer, but I'm glad we had the opportunity to bask in your hospitality for one night. It was exactly the environment we had in mind when we decided to "treat ourselves" (after 3 nights stuck to the sheets in a seedy hostel...). It's such a pleasure to see people doing the job they were clearly born to do, and we both thoroughly enjoyed learning about your B&B and observing your pride and delight in providing such an exemplary space for visitors. Breakfast was deelishus. What a relaxing tie this has been. We really had fun chatting to you! WIth thanks and warmest wishes, . - Julia and Dan, Calgary AB. PS We're going to tell everyone we know about TDBAB (but not in a gloating way, of course) |
|
| F | rom the moment you welcomed us into your home, we have felt like we were at home. The breakfasts experience, evening drink and your attention has made our visit. For our first every B&B, where do we go from here? Benchmark set! Many thanks, - Jan and Peter, Wickford Essex UK |
|
| W | e had the time of our lives at your Bed and Breakfast. This was our first experience staying at such a place, and now it will become the benchmark that we hold any future visits to other places. You delighted us and made us feel like family. You have truly become our new best friends in Canada. We are already contemplating a return visit to your lovely city. The nightlife here is fabulous. We are so delighted with all the variety. We hope to see you soon! - Sincerely, Rob and Tanya, Rochester NY PS: I hope my hair is okay! :) |
|
| T | hank you for your generous upgrade. The martinis were fabulous. Great conversation and sharing of common experiences. Your kindness was appreciated. You h ave give us a new perspectiveof Toronto, our own unique experience. Enjoy your guest! - Carrie and Brent, Kanata ON |
|
| T | hank you again for a wonderful stay. We were so happy to return to the TDBAB for our first anniversary (and site of our wedding!) Your hospitality is unmatched. If there is a perfect place to stay in Toronto, this is it. There is still so much of this great city to see 9and more Lemon Drops to drink) so we will look forward to our return. - Lisa and Sue, Saratoga Springs, NY |

 |
| O | ur dear friends - For someone who talks as much as I do, you'll find it hard to believe that words fail me ... At least words adequate to express our appreciation for an incredible weekend. There are not enough superlatives to tell you what a wonderful time we had in your home and in your company. This was absolutely my best birthday ever; and you are very much responsible for that. Thanks for an unforgettable weekend. We love you both very much! --Debbie & Terry, Dimondale MI [5th visit, in four years] |
|
| A | TDBAB Haiku Good conversation. Thank you Jim & Rog -- John and Charlene, Rochester NY |
 |
| T | hank you so much for the hospitality and friendliness you showed to my wife Mariana yesterday evening after she was stranded in Toronto. After speaking to you I knew she was in safe hands! I called her to make sure she got to the ferry safely and all she could talk about was how wonderful her room, yourselves, the food and the house had been. We shall definitely have to make time to visit Toronto, and of course yourselves, at some point in the near future. Many thanks again for the peace of mind you gave me, and the relaxing atmosphere after Mariana's long long day! -- Best wishes for the future, Nice, Farnham UK |
|
| T | hank you, Jim, Roger and Keith, for a wonderful relaxing getaway! Our children surprised us with this gift and we can't begin to express how enjoyable this has turned out to be. our seats at the production Mamma Mia! were the best in the theatre! We are so pleased that we were able to see this show before it closes this weekend. Your hospitality and attention are gratefully appreciated and we have had a truly enjoyable stay. We wish you continued success in your business venture. Our compliments as well for the outstanding breakfast meal. It was beautifully presented and so delicious! Thank you, , -- Kevan and Mary Ann ,Pickering ON |
|
| I | I world leave in the morning to visit with my daughter, warm mind-blowingly delicious food in my stomach, a glow in my heart, a smile on my face, and then at the end of the day, come home to a warm fire, the two of you, a glass of wine, tea, a lemon drop, more laughter and talk and sharing life stories. Thanks you for opening your home, I am so impressed with your children, and the way the two of you have managed your life. I wish you all the happiness in the world, and hope to see you soon, be in Vancouver or Toronto. With affection - Teg, Vancouver BC |
|
| T | hank you! Thank you! Thank you! Boy did we luck out! Just think, we could have stayed in an ordinary Hilton or Sheraton, but instead ended up in your beautiful Bed and Breakfast. Everything was wonderful ... the bed (the most comfortable we ever slept in), the breakfasts (the most delicious we ever ate), the bathrobes (so soft and comfy we didn't want to take them off), and especially the lemon drop martini (WOW!). But most of all, your warmth and kindness. It's hard to believe we met only two days ago. Last night, sitting in your living room, it felt like we were having cocktails with old friends. You are the best hosts and we are looking forward to our return visits. We are going to tall all our friends about our fantastic Toronto vacation. Your' the best! Thanks so much for everything. - Ellyn and Howie, Long Island NY |
|
| W | e'd like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to both of you for making our visit to the "Big City" such a memorable one. We thoroughly enjoyed the great conversation, the "die for" breakfasts along with all the little things you both do to make your guests feel like family. It was also a great honour to share your home and witness the passion you both have and the pleasure you receive from your B&B business. It is truly amazing how total strangers enter your home and leave as friends. You certainly are Masters of your trade! Take care of each other, -- Doug and Bev , Moose Jaw SK |
 |
| T | hank you for your kind hospitality and attention to detail. We've had the best sleeps away from home, ever! Great breakfasts, too! -- Patricia, Cleveland, Queensland, Australia |
 |
| Y | ou accomplished my goal for Toronto! We are relaxed and rested. Thank you so much for a delightful stay, from the details of the room - too many to list - to the delicious breakfasts, delightful lemon drop conversations, reservations, tickets, and superb guides to Toronto. You two are the ultimate tag-team hosts! We shall always remember our days here! Your sincerity to please, obvious knowledge of how to make people feel welcomed and trusted, special all the time, in every little detail. Thank you again. Now you must visit Nebraska!-- Jacque and Kevin, Lincoln NE |
 |
| T | o the VERY Best Cooker and the VERY Best Chatter, we had the best time under trying circumstances [family funeral]. You are both so kind and thoughtful. Thank you for making our stay so special. Your unfailing good humor and politeness is an example for us all. -- Bill and Sybil, Kamloops BC |

|
| W | hat a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for getting the tickets to Mamma Mia! - it was an unforgettable experience. Your wonderful hospitality made this the most relaxing break we've had in years. Your home is full of sunshine and warmth - an oasis in an otherwise hectic life. The food - well, there just aren't words to adequately express those breakfasts. Your ability to make people you've just met feel like old friends is a unique gift. By the way, martini glasses are going to the top of my shopping list! Thank you for everything, -- Sheila and Denis, Kanata ON |
|
| M | any thanks for a memorable stay. your home exhibits unsurpassable excellence in every detail. from the welcoming friendliness to culinary delights, roses, and humour. Our stay with you was as perfect as it gets. Until next time, -- Sheila and Orley, Ottawa ON PS: What a wonderful place to spend my 59th birthday! |
|
| Y | ou've seen to it that we have absolutely no credibility as reviewers. We've been wined, dined, and eaten breakfasts fit for royalty. We've napped all day in our room and your bathrobes and trolled the city from dawn till dark. The brewery tours were the new treat this trip, thanks to your thoughtful arrangements. Nancy still wants to move in. She claims it doesn't bother her that we'd have to clean the rooms and carry the luggage upstairs. Then there's the matter of having to live in the crawlspace. However, I am quite content with merely visiting. And I do mean content. Thanks again for arranging the brewery tours, and of course for your kind and generous hospitality. --- Much love, Nancy and Michael, Middleton WI [4th visit in three years] |
|
| W | e looked forward to our return stay at TDBAB and upon arrival we were instantly reminded why: your hospitality is unsurpassed. Then we were joined by the Fat Bastards, the Goats Who Roam and the Cats for "spirited" conversation with new friends (also return guests). We leave this time with the same thoughts as before -- looking forward to ur next visit! --- Jamie and Gary, Chicago IL [2nd visit] PS: Keep those Lemon Drops coming! |
 |
| C | anada was a vacation retreat for our family for years and Toronto a favorite city. However, our favorite city stay has been surpassed by the hospitality of both of you. Your attention to details of comfort is amazing and your obvious joy in what you do and how you do it, well, that's great! Sipping wine and chatting, sharing travel stories, it all went too fast, and those breakfasts! We'll be back!-- Jo and Carle, Tallmadge OH PS: We'd stay here without a theatre show, just for the joy of the visit! |
|
| T | hank you for the spoiling! Your company was extremely enjoyable, the breakfasts were amazing, and your accommodations were soo-o-o comfortable! -- Jim & Connie, Waterloo ON |
|
| I | can't begin to tell you how wonderful this past week has been for me. I will always remember this week as one filled with kindness, laugher, friendship, great food and new beginnings. Thanks you!. -- Love, Stephen, Detroit MI |
|
| F | rom a fellow "Hospitality professional" with a critical eye: Your establishment is exceptions! Beautifully appointed rooms, warm friendly service, breathtaking breakfasts! Thank you for your kindness, generosity and welcoming friendship. I've never felt more at home on my travels. -- David, "The Lemon Drop Kid", Rovos Rail, Pretoria, South Africa |
 |
| T | hank you so much for your kindness and hospitality. You made our first experience at a B&B one to remember! You made us so comfortable we wish we never had to leave. Jim, you made wonderful breakfasts (now Josh will need to learn to cook that that at home!) and we ate so much we never had need for lunch. The martinis, wine and wonderful conversations will always be remembered. Oh, and please thank Keith for making us comfortable as well! -- Ang & Josh, Buffalo NY |
|
| R | eturning here has become like coming home! Your supreme qualities and warmth as hosts are only exceeded by the warmth of your friendship. We look forward to April, and May, and to Future "wine tastings"!-- With much love, Becky and Jeff, Pittsburgh PA . PS: Congrats on being named #1 of 10 Top B&Bs in Toronto! We already knew this to be the truth! |
|
| O | ff now to Ottawa for our brother's birthday celebrations. Which means that our first visit to Toronto Downtown B&B has been far too short. Thank you for superb food, wine and hospitality. We have valued your friendly care for us. Next time, we will not be "one nighters"!! !-- Kay and Norman, London UK |
|
| B | reakfasts will never be the same again! Thanks for your warm hospitality. We will be back!-- Audrey (Detroit) & Karen (Vancouver) |
|
| T | he stay has been a time of absolute relaxation for me We've felt welcome from the moment of our arrival to our departure and we'll certainly recommend your hospitality to anyone who will care to listen. The food was exquisite and your company thought-provoking and pleasant. -- Thanks! Arlene and Steen, St. Thomas ON |
|
| T | his has been such a beautiful, welcoming experience from the minute we walked in the door. I came in quite drained after a a day of meetings, and it was only a matter of minutes before I started to relax and feel supported by the warm atmosphere of the house. The decor, the food, the sparkling condition of everything are all indicative of the care you put into the house. It is the way your hearts are in everything you do that makes all the difference. Thanks! -- Patti and Bob, Kanata ON |
|
| Y | ou have helped make my sister's wedding a total success in making their dream to spend their weekend with their family. Total luxury, worry-free, pampering ... well done! Thank you! Love, -- Dee, Scottsdale AZ |
 |
| Y | ou always know you've been to a great place when you decide to return before you've even left! Thank you, Jim & Roger, for a marvellous introduction to Toronto. We couldn't have made a better choice for our first trip to Canada. Wishing you all the very best, love from -- Nicola and Grahame, Wigan, UK |
|
| J | ennifer and I cannot begin to tell you how much we LOVE Toronto! This has been a wonderful experience. Both of you have each a strong talent for making your guests feel warm and welcome. We loved the beautiful breakfasts and the Lemon Drops. It was all perfect. The wedding was just as we had dreamed about - simple and special. We have much left to see and do in Toronto so you may expect our return. thank you again for making this trip memorable! With love, -- The 'Bama Girls, Sally & Jennifer, Birmingham AL |
 |
| Y | our hospitality shall be the standard by which we judge all future bed and breakfast experiences!! -- Paul and Sue, Williamsville NY |
|
| I | have avoided writing in this book. I've looked at it, walked past it ... but dared not pick it up until just now. I felt that simply by touching this book I would have to acknowledge that our trip, our brief stay in Toronto, has come to an end. We've had such a wonderful time here. Your kindness, generosity and hospitality will not soon be forgotten. You truly made our Wedding day special. We can't wait to see the Web page! Thank you for the wine ... our conversations ... warm hugs ... oh, my goodness, the food ... for welcoming us like old friends into your B&B. - Love, LaRissa and Tara, Philadelphia PA |
|
| Y | our place is a gem, your taste superb and your hospitality legendary. -- Abe, Toronto ON |
|
| T | o Papa Jim, Papa Roger and Keith: Our stay with you was perfect in every way. Thank you for being such fun, charming and generous hosts, and for taking such good care of us. We love you dearly, and cannot wait for our next visit! Love and hugs, -- Carla and Tony, Milwaukee WI |

We also want to thank you for creating such a warm and loving environment for our family. --All our love, Melissa & Lori, Canton MI. PS: I loved the "LOVE" Butter!! |
|
| M | any thanks for your kind hospitality and generous warmth, welcome, etc. You made us feel at ease and relaxed while providing an equivalent service to the best hotels we have stayed in. Probably the most enjoyable parts of our stay were the chats with you and your other guests over breakfasts (or later over a glass of wine). We look forward to returning some time in the future, and we will recommend TDBAB to all back in England. -- Roger and Caroline, Bewdley Worcs |
|
| S | ince we left Toronto some 2 years ago, we had little desire to come back to the big city. That has all changed since our visit with you. We now have a place we can call home. It is not only because of your beautiful B&B and the delicious breakfasts, but of the warmth of your spirits and the kindness of your hearts. To many years of prosperity and friendship, thank you for your efforts and just for being you!! -- Peter & Mary-Lyn, Lake of Bays ON |
|
| I | t was so good to be back and to have my family and friends here too, to enjoy the TDBAB. Your gave me a "?0th" Birthday full of memories to treasure, and we all had a stonking time! And how great to be party trend setters with the robes! Love you lots - we will be back soon! - Heather & Peter, Belfast |

 |
| W | hat a wonderful stay we had in your warm and loving home. To say you are marvellous hosts would not adequately allow for the finite detail in each and every nuance you have provided Anything we could have asked for was already here. Our wedding day was just perfect, thanks to both of you. We can't thank you enough for your kindness, your friendship and your wicked wit. I am sure we will see each other again, in this space and others. Love and best wishes, -- Paula and Deb, Manaroneck NY |
|
| T | hank you for your hospitality. I'm so glad we finally got to come here. it took a while but we finally made it! The food was terrific! I felt I didn't have to eat for hours (or days!) afterwards. -- Dennis & Donna, Woodville OH |
|
| I | loved everything, from the welcoming glass(es!) of wine to the beautiful roses and delicious breakfasts. I'll see you whenever I return to Toronto! Warmly, -- Argye, Towson MD |
 |
| I | am so glad that I found you. breakfast was unbelievable everyday! My room was lovely, comfortable, relaxing - everything I needed after my days in class. I will be back and I'm going to direct my partners to stay here as well! A business trip could not be any more relaxing and not be called vacation! I hope to return with my husband soon. Thank you so much. Best regards, -- Kristi, Shoreline WA |
 |
| T | hank you so much 4 such a warm welcome and fun time at the B&B. The breakfasts were AMAZIN'! The beds were sooo comfy (and I loved the teddy bears and robes). The little chocolate bars were perfect for munching on while watching videos of Forest Gump and Little Voice. I hope to see you again when you visit Collingham. Thanx 4 being great hosts! Lv -- Kitty, Collingham, Notts, UK. |
|
| T | hank you for making our stay at your B&B a blast. I hope we can come see you sometime next year. You guys Rock! -- Love, Jacqui, South Lyon MI |
|
| T | hank you for making this wonderful wedding weekend even more special! You all were wonderful from the great home to the fantastic breakfasts to the AMAZING drinks! This B&B is "John Approved." I can't wait to come back. -- Love, John, South Lyon MI |
|
| T | hank you for making our stay in Toronto so pleasurable. The beds were the best we have ever slept in. The breakfasts were simply yummy! (A perfect start to the day) Your hospitality is second to none. The best B 'n B experience we have ever had! All the best, -- Kerry & Chris, Cleveland, Queensland, Australia |
|
| I | t truly makes sense to me that such a gorgeous B&B be owned and operated by two beautiful people like yourselves. The decor is breathtaking, attention to details exquisite, the lemon drop pitcher free-flowing, the morning meal an artistic orgasm of the palate. But what is most impressive is our obvious love for one another and your families - and the way you seem to treasure each set of guests. You are wonderfully creative, enthusiastic men. I have now been a part of Adrienne and Carrie's wedding in your lovely abode an da part of Terri & Rebecca's. My hope is that many more couples will have the treasured experience of such an intimate, memorable wedding at your B&*B. Best and cheers, Katherine, Ypsilanti MI |
|
| I | 'm feeling sad tonight as I crawl into my fresh white sheets after a relaxing soak in the tub for the last night in Toronto. I feel like I'm leaving a part of me behind but also taking a part of you home in my heart. Thank you for all your gourmet breakfast, Jim, although my husband has a lot to live up to now. I am so thankful for the opportunity to travel to Toronto for the first time in my 50 years and I also thank God for such beautiful people as you. -- Janet, "your first favourite!", Lethbridge AB |

| T | hanks for making our stay so relaxing. We have regained about a year of sleep! We are only regretful we missed the breakfasts ... the Yorkville Room is just so comfy! Hope there is a next time in the near future. -- Lisa and Rick, Los Angeles CA |
 |
| T | hank you so much for every detail, for making this such a special time for our best friends [' wedding], Deb & Mary, but most of all, thank you for being such amazing, interesting and fun people. We have had the most wonderful time so far and we've been here less than 24 hours! -- Lisa and Rick, Raleigh NC |
|
| W | hat can we say? Mary and I feel like old friends of yours. You both are wonderful people and we are looking forward to seeing you in a month for our Big Day. Many thanks for the wonderful food, wine, drinks (and lemon drop martinis!). -- Deb & Mary, Semora NC |

| T | his is our favorite B&B ever, and we're not just saying that because you're our favourite hosts. We've found an excuse to visit annually since we discovered you 3 years ago, and haven't enjoyed breakfasts in our bathrobes (well, technically, your bathrobes) so much anywhere else, since. The luxuries are super, the feather bed nd linens and location and style. But your warmth and kindness is most special. You make all of your guests feel comfortable and pampered. Breakfast always sees us through until dinner. We love you guys! PS. Since Jim puts this up on the Web site where people can see it, I 'd like to point out that the bathrobes are very large. Gigantic. Potential guests need not be scared. PPS. Frankly, this place is a bit too comfortable. We had difficulty leaving the room most days. -- Nancy and Mike, Madison WI |

| W | e had an amazing weekend! I'm having trouble coming up with adequate adjectives to describe the superlative experience that staying with you always is! You are such truly delightful friends. Thanks for sharing your home and yourselves with us. We love you both! - Terry and Deb, Lansing MI |
|
| 2 | good to be true! Not to have stayed with Roger and Jim would have been the largest sin! We came to visit and found a home. Thank you for spoiling us the way you did. - Kathryn & Ted, Zurich, Switzerland |
