What an amazing experience. My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway for my birthday. "The Bacchus Package" is fantastic, incredible, and Brigitte on the wine tour is the most fabulous wine guide. She will change your wine life with this adventure. Since the ownership has changed I would say Bravo! It was nice before, but a "high class" experience now. Please have a meal at Bacchus. The food is so amazing and the chef will be famous in a few years without exception. His talents are remarkable and will leave you wanting a personal chef of his caliber. All our love, L.B. and E.P.

Unforgettable, this was wonderful, what a great break from reality. The cuisine was the best ever. We will return. P.S. The chocolate cookies are the best! P. and L. Barnes

We were happy to spend the last 2 days of our honeymoon here in the Swans Nest. The experience could not have been better! The large and delicious breakfasts were exactly what we'd hoped for. Christine is a marvelous cook. The massages were unparalleled. Everything was great. I have to stop waxing rhapsodic now, we will be back! Laura and Gary R.

Once again, the Storybook Inn stay was fabulous. This is the place we come to when we need R&R. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and Christine took care of our every need. We also took advantage of the spa and it was another piece of heaven. We love this place and hope to be back soon! The DeWitts from Texas

We have enjoyed our visit here so much and we will return many times! Thank you for your warm hospitality! And, as bed and breakfast places we have visited, this has been a pure pleasure and certainly the best! Until we meet again, God bless. L. and G. Hope

The standard "words cannot express" are very well represented in the statement! This was my 50th birthday gift and the week spent is well worth writing a novel (for). Being a writer sure inspired me this week! And...(no, I won't write one now) the spiritual essence I needed this week was surely instilled, especially from the massage I received for my special day!
Christine - will you come to Pennsylvania to our B&B and "live"? You're the most wonderful hostess and flavorful culinary "artist"! You add just the perfect amount of pleasure in every aspect - you truly made us feel at home. Thank you so very much for EVERYTHING! M.M. & C.B.

My husband and I will never forget our stay at Storybook Inn! I did not want to leave. Thank you for an unforgettable stay. C & E

Thank you for such a beautiful, quiet and lovely place to spend some time. After traveling for almost a week, this has become a sanctuary of peace and balance. Thanks again! A. & M.

We feel so pampered, from our massages to the wonderful breakfasts, it was such a romantic place to stay! Thank you so much! We will be back. K. & J. Sorenson

We fell in love with the luscious breakfasts. Christine was delightful, teh parlor was our late-afternoon sanctuary. (The chocolate chip cookies were most comforting of an evening). We couldn't imagine a lovelier place for our time in the valley. We look forward to another visit and more tasty treats- J.S. and M.A. San Diego

Thanks for everything, your rooms are so lovely even though I found out I wasn't a princess. Lisa and Pelle

Exceeded all expectations - sometimes websites are more optomistic than the reality. Thank you for making us welcome and comfortable. M. & D. Las Vegas, NV

We had a super time at the Storybook Inn - could not be a more appropriate name. Everyone was so accommodating. The tour with Brigitte was memorable! We will remember this time we spent here as quite magical. Thanks so much - keep up the good work! Best wishes, B, T, O, & V Morristown NJ

Our stay at the inn has been unforgettable! We have been here for over a week now (in between moving) and have enjoyed every minute of it! The service has been impeccable, the staff and management have gone over and above, and the location is ideal. We will def. recommend the inn to all our friends and corporate relations. Christine, thanks for everything! The Eggers Family

Our stay and experience at this B&B has given me memories and experiences and most importantly stories I'll remember for the rest of my life. Here with my mother, this is a place she loved, particularly Christine's breakfast - she is an excellent chef, you can tell her preperation of the meals was with love and so delicious! A true culinary experience, the inn and Christine made our Christmas very special. K. and M. S.

Wow! Thank you so much for the experience, we felt like we were in another country. Delicious food, perfect service! Thanks.

We so enjoyed our mid-week getaway. The room, Princess and the Pea, was cozy and warm with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was perfect for a morning after a restful night. We were on a 24 hour getaway and can't wait to come here again. Thank you to the staff and God Bless. J. H. and J. I.

We have SO enjoyed our stay at Storybook Inn! The Princess and the Pea room is quite luxurious - don't know how we every managed to sleep without a canopy bed! Everyone has been so kind and friendly. Our dinners (2 nights!) at Bacchus were wonderful and our couples massage was just about the best part of the trip. We will definitely be looking forward to our next visit! M & J Smith

Heartfelt thanks for your warm hospitality and comfort when I really needed them! Johane K.

What a wonderful and charming experience! The whole package was amazing. From the awesome jacuzzi tub in the Little Mermaid to the cuisine at Cafe Angelica and the lovely town of Solvang. We couldn't have had a better time elsewhere. The best part was meeting such wonderful people as Christine and Avian. Delightful, charming, we look forward to returning. Dustin and Amanda R.

March 31st 2007 - A "getaway" after a week of intense emotion. Returned from England on the 28th where I'd attended my fathers' funeral. Despite the fact that my map-less husband thought he could get here via I-5, an error of 100-plus miles, it was worth even that when I saw the lovely Tin Soldier room. (And had a glass of wine). Cathie S., Oceanside CA

April 1, 2007 - A lovely getaway weekend for us to celebrate four years since our first date, an unexpected relationship that's been the happiest part of my life. The room was lovely, romantic, and the food excellent! (So nice when others are doing the cooking!) We've thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! A little spoiled now though... I don't think I'll be able to stay anywhere else when we come to Solvang! Thank you to Christine! You've made our stay comfortable, pampered, and very memorable! C. Kennedy, Temecula

Thank you all for making our stay with you so wonderful!! We truly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be calling if we are ever back up that way. Just a quick side note about Avian your spa specialist. She is a true treasure and very talented at what she does!! I have had several massages over the years and by far she was the best that I have ever had. Her attention to small details and her use of hot towels made for an experience that I will never
forget. I sure hope she will be there the next time I am in Solvang! I only wish that I had more time to stay with you longer! Once again we loved every minute of our stay! Thanks Again!
