Fall 2007 Honeymooners Finally Send Photos!

Last spring, Allison was a top fund raiser for the Montgomery County (MD) Humane Society's Paws in the Park event, and for that, her & Matt's honeymoon was paid for! They stayed at Paws & Reflect as the stay was donated as a top fundraising prize. Allison wrote:

"I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to write you!! Thank you for everything!! We really enjoyed our stay at your cabin!! And Abby LOVED every second of it!! We loved the drive up from the main road! Very different from home. It really felt like we were all alone!! I've attached a few pictures of Abby during our stay. I must admit, we ended up getting her a "sofa" bed like the one at the cabin for Christmas!! She loved it there, and she loves her's at home!! It was her first time with a doggie door... after she figured out the idea.... she loved it!! She also loved seeing the deer in the woods during the evening!!!"

They snapped a few nice photos of sweet Abby, here. She's a beaut, don't you think?



From the guestbook at Paws & Reflect:
Thank you, Nancy, for such a wonderful getaway! It was perfect for our honeymoon! Abby immediately made herself at home! We were very proud that she learned to use the doggie door! She’s not great with the ramp – but she’s learning.

We made a couple trips to the caverns – but mostly spent some well needed relaxation time!

We look forward to returning – if Abby remembers her stay, she will not let us forget she wants another vacation!!

Thanks!
Allison & Matt

Video Tour of the Cabin - 5

This is the last of five posts, each containing 3 short videos that provide a tour of the cabin. Please excuse the low quality; one day I will get a decent video tour of the cabin!

This video goes from the front hall to the futon room:

Video Tour of the Cabin - 1

I just remembered that my husband captured the cabin on video using his phone when construction was just about complete, in 2005. I guess I hesitate a little to publish these videos because the quality is so low. But until I can get a professionally produced tour video, I'll bet that potential guests would probably prefer to see this quality of video over none at all . . . right? Each one is just a few seconds long! It's narrated by my husband, and the dog in some of the videos is our miniature poodle, Tester.

This one is just the driveway over to the front deck:

This one just spans the front deck:

This one is a few steps accross the front yard:
