Devon - Thanks so much for such a positive review! I also really appreciate what you wrote in the Guest Book. I'm glad you both enjoyed your stay.

Thank you for taking the time to write up such a nice review and for your entry into the Guest Book. I appreciate it! I also took your advice and discarded those hard chew toys for dogs. I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your stay despite some rain and wetness. The property is so much nicer when it's sunny and dry. I have your jacket. If you'd like to message me your address through this site, I will send it back to you. There is tech that blocks personal information, so you may have to text me the info. I can't even type in my phone number but you'll find it in the PDF Guest Guide. Thanks! Jeff

Heather - Thanks so much for submitting such a fantastic review of my home! I truly appreciate it and glad everyone enjoyed their stay. Unfortunately, the day after you checked out I made a number of great changes and improvements that I think guests will like and also completely rearranged the deck furnishings to be more functional. Your comment about "scheming to buy" was hilarious seeing I was soooo close to selling last year before finally deciding to keep it and rent it out. I just couldn't bring myself to part with it. Anyway, thanks again. You are welcomed back to stay ANYTIME! Jeff

Christine - Thank you very much for taking the time to submit a review. I appreciate it! I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. I totally understand wanting a larger hot tub. I'll be considering an upgrade in the future.

It means a lot to Tracie and me to read about some of the details of your stay and what you loved most about it. I’m glad you and your family enjoyed your time there. And thank you for leaving the property in such fantastic condition! Jeff and Tracie

Jane - Thanks so much for taking the time to submit a positive review for my home. It definitely means a lot to me. And a big thank you for leaving the property in such immaculate condition.

And finally, if you didn’t intend to leave that nice candle behind, I’d be happy to send it to you.

Sheryl - Thanks so much for taking the time to write up and submit such a fantastic review. That was kind of you and very much appreciated. I especially loved your entry in the Guest journal. Wow! It pleases me to know that you both (and pup!) made the most of your time at my home on the river and enjoyed the simple things that it has to offer. Thanks again for your booking. Furthermore, you left the home in fantastic condition. You are welcomed back anytime! Jeff

Vicky, Thank you very much for taking the time to submit such a fantastic review of my home and for your note in the Guestbook. I really appreciate that. I’m glad you really enjoyed your time there. Also, thank you for leaving the home in incredible condition. Best regards, Jeff

Kris, Wow! I’m at a loss for words on how incredibly kind you’ve been with the abundance of positive feedback you’ve provided me and for other guests who read this. I’m equally appreciative of our offline communications and how you left my home in absolute immaculate condition. You definitely went above and beyond and exceeded what anyone might expect. If you hadn’t documented in such detail your account of your stay, one might wonder if you were even there!? And thank you for continuing to feed the ‘hangry’ squirrels. They can certainly have bad attitudes once their food supply runs out. Again, I’m pleased that you enjoyed your stay with your family members and pups -- you are welcomed back anytime. Thank you very much for your booking. Jeff

Vincent, Thanks a lot for taking the time to submit such a positive review and also for your handwritten entry in the Guest Book! It makes me happy that your grandson enjoyed his time there. Also, I was so surprised that you left my home so extraordinarily clean and tidy! Most guests have done a great job, but what you did was exceptional! Thanks again for your booking on what turned out to be a decent (weather-wise) Memorial Day weekend. Jeff

Jennifer - Thanks so much for taking the time to submit such a glowing review! Much appreciated! I'm glad you all enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately, I have yet to find your ring. I will continue to keep an eye out and will let you know if we find it. Thanks again for your booking. Jeff

Rachel - Thank you for taking the time to write up such a great review. I really appreciate it! Also, thanks to you and your friends for your "group" entry in the Guest journal. I'm glad you were lucky to have the best weather of the year (thus far!). A little sunshine really enhances the experience there. Jeff

Frank, thanks so much for taking the time to submit such a fantastic review! I just listed my home with VRBO in February, so I really appreciate the great feedback to share with future guests. Thanks again for choosing my home to stay during your trip to North Bend, WA. Jeff

Victoria - Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a positive review. Much appreciated. I’m glad that you and the rest of your ‘Quartet’ enjoyed your stay. Jeff

Bill – Thank you very much for your positive review. I’m happy that you and your family enjoyed your stay, despite what seemed like constant rain. Please thank your wife as well, for her handwritten entry into the guest journal documenting how you were all making the best of your stay at the River House. Unfortunately, within the hour of you checking out, the sun came out and the property and surroundings completely dried up making for an incredible day. Thanks for your booking. Jeff

Thank you very much for your booking and for taking the time to review our North Bend home on the river. It is very much appreciated! Also, thank you for writing a nice note in our guest book. I have to add that you left our home in such immaculate condition, it was very difficult to determine if you were actually there! We are happy you enjoyed your stay and had a good time at the Twin Peaks fandom event! Regards, Jeff

Thank you very much for your booking and for taking the time to review our North Bend home on the river - and also for being the first to write a nice note in the guest book. It is very much appreciated! I'm sorry about your luck at the casino! :) I completely understand your request for a larger hot tub. Yes, the single-person spa is more suited for one-on-one time with nature. With that said, we'll definitely consider a larger one in the future. Anyway, we are happy you enjoyed your stay. Regards, Jeff

Thank you for your review and for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed your stay. In response to your concerns, I’ve made the following enhancements that will help improve the experience for future guests: 1) In addition to the full-size vacuum with wand accessory; the Roomba-like vacuum; and the Dyson hand-held vacuum that was provided during your stay, I’ve now added a broom and dust pan. 2) One of the brackets on the gate came loose, but it was a quick fix for me. 3) I’ve updated the listing description to inform potential guests about having to navigate around various potholes when traveling down our ½ mile private gravel road during the winter months. This will give them the opportunity to choose another place to stay, if that happens to be a deal-breaker. We had a huge snowstorm this year and a lot of rain, and road maintenance typically occurs during Spring/Summer. 4) I now have garbage cans on-site for excess garbage. I would like to add that I mistakenly submitted a negative rating for you and have instructed VRBO to delete that review so I can resubmit a 100% positive review instead. Again, my apologies for that. Thanks again. Jeff
