BC Guest Ranch Comments for 1997, 1996 & 1995

Some Comments from our guests in 1997

• What a wonderful, magical, healing home and ranch. This has been a great soul feeder! A diamond in the ruff – God has truly blest this hidden beauty. We will always remember all the staff – Five Stars to all of them. Thank you so much!
  Karen, Iva, Michelle & Samantha Rubeinstein, New York, USA

• It was our first time in B.C. and it was the most wonderful end of our three weeks holidays. We felt so good, loved all these so kind people and animals. And our stay helped us to find a very important decision for our future life. When ever possible we will come back to be here again for a longer time. Thank you all for these beautiful days!
  Marion & Peter Junke, Germany

• We are from Japan, it is first trip to here. We had wonderful time of life. Beautiful air, nice view, friendly person. We really would like to come back here again. Thank you for your hospitality and staff of Echo Valley.
  Toshie & Yariko Ogawa, Japan

• We haven't had so much fun on holiday since we were kids!  Thank you everyone for making our stay so outstandingly good - we'll miss you all. All I can say to anyone who is thinking about staying at Echo Valley is - do it, you will enjoy every moment and create wonderful memories. Just like we have. Thank you so much.
  Frankie & Roy Sheppard, London, England     (yes, "the" Roy Sheppard - and by the way, Frankie is a descendant of "the" Mark Twain)

• A wonderful setting and a great atmosphere. All the staff are professional and friendly. I would gladly stay here for a year if I could. Definitely the highlight of my trip. Cheers
  Brett Chapmann, Australia

• A spot that will never be forgotten. Had a most memorable visit.
  Michael & Margaret McNair

• If this isn’t heaven then I don’t know where to find it.
  Jayne Mifis, USA

• For the past two years it has been nagging me that there is far more to life than 9 – 5, concrete & steel. The past three days have confirmed my suspicions. What you all do here is really truly living. Here you can see the "Kingdom, and the power and the glory forever and ever," Amen! Thank you for everything, the accommodations were great and the staff (my friends) are outstanding.
  Ralph & Wendy Hines, USA

Some Comments from our guests in 1996

• To Norm, Nan & great Staff- A 10 carat gem in the rough! Thank-you all for the great hospitality. We came as guests & now leave as friends. The breath-taking scenery, superb cuisine, terrific trail rides (even with aches), Fraser canyon (Wow), anytime with Sam and Jack, & the marvelous company made this trip an experience to cherish! We are honored to be your first N.Y.C. guest. We’ll be back!!! – we wish you all the best!
  Cheryl Lapow & Michael Segall, New York City, USA

• Our warmest appreciation for a few royal days at the top of the world! The hospitality was even beyond this world.
  Maiya & Hennrik Toikka, Finland

• Small heaven on earth! We’ll be back!!
  Dirk Henkels & Barbara Schach, Switzerland

• This week made a dream come true! Travelling frequently to much countries and places, I can confirm that Echo Valley hospitality and style of this house is unique not only for B.C. Echo Valley is the perfect mixture of guest ranch, Dr. Doolittle’s farm and top family hotel in a beautiful environment, not having lost the pure and honest ranch character. A perfect crew has guided us from the air, to hills, to mountains and woods down to the cellar. The charm of Nan and the friendly gentlemenship of Norm has made us feel as family members! So the "Bittner- gang" is forced to come again as soon as possible.
  Edith & Eva Bittner, Austria
