We both agree, after staying at other places at Trinity, this is the best so far. Our fishing luck changed drastically with some of your advice. Besides catching a 3.5 lb. bass (19"), Trish caught a 3.5 lb. trout (18"). She also caught two trout in the river. However, this can't compare to limiting out each day on trout! David has always dreamed of limiting out like this.

Bob and Linda made it feel like home. Your hospitality made us feel like part of the family. The next time we come (and we definitely will) we hope to invite you over for dinner. Trish makes an adequate chicken marsala. Wether it was unsticking a stuck trailer, offering fishing advice (for free!), or providing horses to feed goodies to Bob and Linda made it feel like home.

Thanks for a wonderful week. We felt like we were living in a home, not a vacation house. It was so comfortable. We appreciate all the tips on where to hike, fish, gold pan, etc. We hope to return someday

Thank you for a wonderful visit! We really enjoyed the peace and quiet. The kids loved visiting your stretch of the Trinity River where Nick caught his first fish. He named it Jeffrey and commented on how tasty Jeffrey was couple of days after our trout dinner. Kimi loved feeding the horses and taking walks. Craig and I will miss the view and, of course, the peace and quiet?

What a wonderful spot along the Trinity River and vista into the mountains. Your guest house is charming, and we imagined Gussie here many times. Thank you for your warm hospitality in a lovely setting. We can hardly wait to come back.

A perfect antidote to Southern California! A magical place where squirrels sit on you lap and jays land on your shoulder or head and eat from your hands. Zipper (tame jay) has such personality. Enjoyed the magnificent hike to Stoddard Lake as well as the lazy afternoon naps, reading, and excursions to find the best burger--try Lewiston, the Yellow Jacket, Mini-Kat and the Forest Cafe. We've had a wonderful week of vacation! Thank you, Bob and Linda for everything.

Thank you for creating this charming get-a-way, its comforts and pleasures!! Thank you also for saving the wonderful history and stories of this ranch...and its critters. We had a grand time and look forward to a return visit.

After many hours of research, we chose your ranch as our summer vacation. It was everything we wanted and expected. The peaceful, laid-back atmosphere coupled with proximity to recreational activities makes your ranch unbeatable. You are both so kind and we feel honored to have met you. We would like to visit again soon. We will keep you close in prayer and until next time...God Bless!

We were amazed at how nice this home is. I grew up at Trinity Alps Resort and that was "rustic", this is gracious. "Zipper" (tame blue jay) made us feel at home. We got much needed rest, out of all phone range. The north lake was always my favorite part of Trinity County. We hope to return (if these "cabins" are ever available, once word get out they won't be!)

Bob and Linda,

We really enjoyed spending our week in your ranch area. It was very beautiful. You have a wonderful staff. Their attention to detail and their eagerness to please made this trip more than memorable. Even though Eliazbeth came here injured, she still had plenty to do. We did everything as a family and we became closer for it.

My uncle and I had lots of fun fishing in the river, looking for gold and all around had fun just riding our bikes on the ranch. The pasture across the river was as peaceful as you said and the horses were very friendly.

Thank you for everything,

Bob and Linda,

We enjoyed hail and rain this weekend. We were very cozy here in our little house. We all loved your ranch, the "walk", the views of the mountains, meadows The quiet was great.

Thank you, Bob and Linda, for your hospitality!
