Hi Beth!
I just wanted to let you know we had the most amazing time in Costa Rica!! Chad is so nice and really made this a unique experience for us! His place is beautiful and all of the tours were fantastic! We really felt we got to experience the area and culture more than we would have if we stayed at a resort. We had the most amazing roll, the dynamite roll, at your daughter's sushi place. The Disco was really fun, they had some good Dj's a couple of nights. The people were very friendly and the country is soooooo beautiful. We are jealous that you are out there for a couple of months! We definitely plan on going back at some point and will recommend this trip to everyone!! Thanks for everything and really for making this trip so memorable.

Alana and Beth,
Thank you for giving us the perfect wedding. We heard several people say that it was the best reception they had ever been to and we would have to agree. That was largely due to your attention to detail and professionalism.

This was our 1st trip to White Pines. We will be back again! Our 2 kids, ages 2 and 4 loved it more than anything else we've done. My 4 year old asked if we could move to the cabin for "100 years".
Walking the trails each day was wonderful. We were so happy to be able to see so much beautiful nature. My son enjoyed chasing frogs on the trails. S'mores on the fire pit were another big hit. Both kids are begging to go back.
Thanks!

Dear Beth & Alana-
Thank you so much for everything you both did along with all of the staff to make our wedding day flawless. After the horrible rain June 19, 2009, we realized that we were no longer getting married outside. :) The transition into the lodge was perfect and it was as if it was meant to be done there in the first place. I felt that I didn't have to worry about a thing all night long and you both made me feel that everything was going to be great, as it was. I will never forget the day and because of what you have done for our wedding day, I will have great memories for years to come. All of our guests have called us to tell us how great of a job you all did and we wanted to let you know that it was appreciated to the fullest extent possible. Thank you again and I would recommend you and White Pines in general to any upcoming bride. |

Beth and Alana,
Thanks so much for the great job you did on the bridal shower I hosted on July 3. Planning everything from 1,000 miles away by phone and email can be a little disconcerting, but it was all perfect. Thanks again. |

Beth and White Pines Staff-
Approaching our 1 year anniversary, we have been reflecting on everything about our July 5th, 2008 wedding and there is still not even one thing we would change about our wedding at the White Pines Canyon and Inn. You all helped with even our smallest of requests and provided us with the most beautiful of wedding venues. You made it easy to stay worry free on the big day knowing all the setup was in your hands. We just wanted to take this time to thank you all for everything you did to make our wedding the absolute dream wedding. We are recommending you to everyone we know!
P.S. We must also mention the quality of your vendors, both Larry at L.D. Nicklaus Photography and your cake baker did a absolutely fabulous job with everything! Thanks! |

Dear Beth and Staff-
Thanks for a great experience during our group meeting event in September. The meeting room and cabins were just right, the food was fabulous (especially the raspberry pie!) and the attention was first-rate. Special thanks to Joni and Rose for their terrific service. We also appreciated how you managed the weather, turning a rainy day into a pleasant night that was just perfect for a camp fire!
Many Many Thanks! |

I had the pleasure of attending the Theater Hike of "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms" Saturday Aug 16th. the experience was fun, relaxing (yep! in between the hikes!) and very entertaining. My granddaughter and two great-nieces have a lasting memory of a pleasant afternoon together and a new understanding of quality reading of some of the stories read by Grandma and Aunt robin many years ago.
Thank yo for offering this opportunity to us and we look forward to more of these in the future. |

I have not been to White Pines in about 10 years and I MISS IT! I remember staying in the wonderful cabins, hiking the fabulous trails and watching the fish swim upstream in the spring. It is so serene and great environment to "recharge" one's batteries. I hope to visit again soon! |

Dear Beth, Rebecca and staff,
We just wanted to thank you for everything you did for our wedding on June 7th 2008. It was so great to work with you throughout the entire wedding process. White Pines has always been a special place to me, so having our wedding there was perfect. The canyon was gorgeous. Even though the rain made things a little tough, you really helped us make the best decisions about our site and the set up. The ceremony was beautiful. The reception was equally as amazing. I was blown away by the staff - they were working so hard and always asking me if I needed anything. I have never had anything but great service at White Pines, but this was outstanding! I only wish our reception could have been longer. We had so much fun and the whole day and all the planning was great because of everything you did! Thank you so much for making our wedding day so wonderful! White Pines will forever hold even more meaning to me now. We have already booked our 1-year anniversary at White Pines and we are so excited to come back! Thank you!

My Husband and I stayed at the pines in april 2007, it was perfect. So romantic and the weather was beautiful. What also made this weekend so incredible, my husband proposed. We had a lovely dinner that night, where the waitstaff was wonderful, then he took me to a concert and had the band ask will you marry me on their back drop. When we returned to our cabin he had champagne and flowers waiting for me. The next day I showed off my amazing engagement ring at the restaurant and the staff was genuinely happy for us. We will be returning this October and every year after that. Thank you!! |

My husband Kerry and I spent last night at the Inn (May 24th), what a fabulous place. Cabin was great, food was delightful and the quiet was much needed. We will be back and will recommend this place to many. |

I just got back from a heavenly four day, three night stay in the White Pines Cabins. As always, it was perfect. From the friendliness of the staff to the fun of playing with Max to the wonder of having the park pretty much to myself to the coziness of my wonderful cabin, everything was just excellent. I got married at the Pines and go back at least once a year. It never disappoints and I can see my family and I spending visiting there until the only trail I can go on is the wheelchair accessible one! It is truly a magical place where time stands still. |

Dear Beth,
It would be serioulsly remiss if we did not follow up on our reunion outing at the Pines last month. There are insufficient words to express our tremendous satisfaction with the quality of service and food provided by you and your staff.
Commencing with our attendace at the "Wonder Women" production and luncheon and concluding with our picnic in the park on Friday, September 22, we found everything to our liking and satisfaction. You and your wonderful staff performed way above what is normally expected and for this, we can only say thank you so very much.
Please pass along to your staff our sincere expression of apreciation for all they did to make our 55th reunion a success. I think I speak for the rest of the class in stating that the Pines will be among the top choices for our 60th reunion in 2011. |

Dear Beth and Rachel,
I want to thank you for making my daughter's wedding day so very special and unforgettable. Everything was absolutely perfect. The ceremony in the canyon was wonderful. Many of our guest gave compliments and praise to Reverend Bob. The horse carriage was like a fairytale. I can't say enough about the wonderful reception at the lodge. You all did a wonderful job and I heard many people say that this was one of the most beautiful weddings they have been to. Many thanks again to you and your staff for making my daughter's fairytale wedding come true. |

We got so many compliments on how perfect everything was. Everyone loved the canyon and the scenery, and thoughy the reception went flawlessly.

My daughter was married in the Canyon and the reception was at the Inn. The day was very hot - upper 90\'s but Beth and her crew made every thing perfect. The site, flowers, cake and photographer where arranged through Beth and we couldn\'t have asked for a more professional crew. The flowers and cake were beautiful - looked just like may daughter had described to Beth. Steve Eykamp was phenominal. He ran all day in the canyon and then stayed until after midnight for the reception. He was constantly shooting film and if they are half as good as he was professional that day we will have a lifetime of photo memories. Beth, you are wonderful and you were so helpful throughout this whole process. Because of you, my daughters day went perfect. We thank you and hope to come and stay in the cabins again. The cabins were just another little detail that made the day perfect. We could stay there and relax (a little) and not have to drive 1-2 hours to get to the Wedding.
Everything was wonderful and perfect and I would recommend this to anyone planning a wedding.
Thankyou.
The Frykmans :grin |
