Thankful Visitor

Dear Editor,

Karen and I are wrapping up our third year in business as Waitsburg Cottages, and have heard many wonder- ful compliments from our guests, who occasionally take the time to post their re- views online. This comment was so genuinely joyful that we felt it should be shared with the entire community.

"We knew we were enter- ing a special place when we arrived in Waitsburg--a town with no stop lights, and endless sidewalks; a town where you can walk as long as you want, alone, day or night, with no worry or fear, and where you are greeted with a warm hello when you pass someone; a town where you enter a restaurant, and find fine dining and the friendliest people imaginable. We loved every minute of our visit: from fly fishing (husbands), to our walks/runs (wives); to our wine tasting in Walla Walla (the owners left plenty of materials to help deter- mine which wineries -- 140 total -- to focus our efforts!), and cannot WAIT to return! (We're already planning next year's trip!) Thank you so much!"

Without the welcoming atmosphere of this "special place" - a welcome that is extended freely and often to complete strangers - we would not have the success we have had. So this big "Thank you!" goes out to the entire community, from our guests, and especially, from both of us.

Paul & Karen Gregutt,

Waitsburg
