Comments from our Guests

Here is a sample of what some of our guests have found at Crocker Pond House.

“Ellen & Stuart, Coming from Australia, we travel the world searching for exceptional and unique experiences which we can treasure for the rest of our lives.  You have certainly provided us with a gem!  Congratulations on your accomplishment and hospitality.  We feel wonderfully rewarded as a result of your dedication to your vision.” –C & P

 

“What a nice find!  Great respite after a long drive, delicious breakfast.  Hope to come again with the entire family.”  J.I.

 

“Dear Ellen and Stuart, What a wonderful job you did in building this splendid house, in creating this home.  It’s an inspiration.  We had a good rest in this serene setting and much enjoyed your blueberry pancakes and conversation this morning.”  P and H C

 

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the lovely room amongst the trees and birds.  Your generosity has touched my mother and family.”  CH

 

“We came to reboot our mental hard drives.  The bed was great for napping, breakfast was excellent, with good company.  We felt very much at home.  Our batteries were completely recharged.  Thanks!”  S and B

 

“We all really enjoyed our stay at your beautiful house.  It is a lovely location, close to the ski slopes, and it is very peaceful and tranquil.  We especially enjoyed the lovely breakfasts and the log fire—and cookies when we returned from skiing.  The children loved their loft and the cats.”  K and S from England

 

“I sincerely believe I was meant to be here right now.  You have created something wonderful, and I’m glad that I was able to experience it, although I wish I could have stayed longer.  The peace and placidity I’ve felt here has been a wonderful respite from the noisy streets of Philadelphia.  I know I can return to school with a clear, refreshed mind and renewed spirit.”  VW

 

“For my upcoming 30^th birthday, my husband found this beautiful spot to bring on the next decade of my life.  Our few days here were spent basking in the sun through your enormous windows, playing scrabble while sipping afternoon tea, winter hiking up to Table Rock, feasting on waffles and whipped cream—as well as an amazing French meal in nearby Bethel—we truly had an amazing weekend!”  C and D.

 

“Such a change from the city.  The quiet, the different smells, colors, air—what a delightful change.  Even one night is a treat.  Much cheer and thanks from the Los Angeles wanderers.”  S and B

 

“Thank you for this rejuvenating stay.  It was a real treat for us to have such a relaxing and comfortable time in the White Mts.  The house is beautiful and the occupants (hosts, cats, and guests) were wonderful.”  P and C.

 

From children:

“Hi, thanks for the wonderfull stay.  I really appreciate the breakfeast.  I really liked the cats.  They were very nice.  Rocky likes to play Monopoly with us.”  Patrick

 

“Dear Ellen and Stuart.  Thank you for your breakfast and your friendliness.  We loved the cats and we loved the loft.  We liked it so much we want to come back.”  Ben, Drew, and Jake.

 

“Dear Ellen and Stuart.  Thank you for all your hospitality.  The breakfasts are great.  Your cats are the cutest, softest cats I have ever met.  The loft is great.  My brother and I had lots of fun in it.  Your tea, cookies, and games (and cats) are great after a days skiing.  I hope to come back soon.”  Hannah

 

“Dear Stuart and Ellen, I liked the cats, and I like you both.  I liked the house and enjoyed playing wink-murder.  I liked the breakfasts and the cookies.  The beds were very comfortable, and I slept well.  We hope to come back soon.”  Love, Lian and Ailish (from England)
