Sally & Jan
I can’t thank you enough for helping to make my first time up to Minden & Algonquin memorable. I found you online and was so excited to get here to see Sunny Rock. It surpassed my expectations. The wonderful breakfasts, great tips on where to visit, the poker game and the conversation made me feel so welcome. Since this is my first time out on my own, I hope you haven’t spoiled my future trips. They have a lot to live up to. Thank you again and can’t wait to come back again!!

Marvelous Retreat – so scenic and restful!

Dear Sally & Jan
What a marvelous retreat – so scenic and restful. The hospitality was warm and the breakfasts wonderful. What a party too!! Hopefully you can take time to sit back, relax & enjoy a glass of wine. We will certainly try to get back to Sunny Rock before too long.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ken & Jean

P.S. It was a pleasure to “pedal the Player”.

So Much Richer For The Experience!

Dear Sally & Jan
Amazing how fourty-eight hours ago, we knew nothing about Sunny Rock, had never met either of you, and now, as we head home, we are both so much richer for the experience. We have enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The attention, the food, the history lesson, the insight, the conversations and the beauty of the scenery, no matter where we looked (including the roll top!) – we will never forget any of it. Sally, the photograph was icing on the cake!
Thank you both. The wisdom of your words will stay with us.

Sincerely, Lou – Rue

What a pleasure it has been to be a part of your dream! The beauty of the surroundings, the gracious hospitality and your warm welcome created a memorable two days! Although it was a busy weekend preparing for Murray’s fund raiser, I am leaving feeling relaxed and rejuvenated!
Thanks to all of you!

Sally –
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! What an incredible place to be and share experiences and laugh and feel like we have known you forever.
Of course, the view is spectacular and the sound of the water falling over the rocks is soothing and peaceful.
I can’t wait to come back. Hopefully next time Jan will be here too.
All the best to you both. It was our delight to stay with you for the past 2 nights.

2 hours of one fish after another

My husband & I went fishing yesterday. We went on the rocks to the left of the Scotts Dam. Not anticipating catching anything we took our “green” worms. (No kidding they are plastic lime green). Line in the water and “BAM” caught a fish. “Bass”. My husband caught a fish. Then it was 2 hours of one fish after another. My husband caught 3-4 lb. bass, mine was about 2 ½ lbs. ( I figure mine was larger, but I let him think otherwise.)

Today we were on the deck having coffee, listening to the rapids, watching the rain. The Harriot the Heron was basking in the rain. Approx. 24 starling birds were swarming & swooping over the head of the Heron. He was oblivious to them. They seemed to be waiting for him to catch breakfast. It continued to rain. I love the rain. We are getting ready to go fishing again. This place is AMAZING. I am coming back to Sunny Rock again to see our “friends”.

Thank you
Al & JoAnne W**
