| Mar 17, 2011 | Arlen & Sherry. Thank you so much for donating your guest house for the SCCC auction! It was an experience our family will always remember! Your guest home is beautiful and we felt right at home. Definitely a place we would love to visit again! Thank you so much for the hospitality and for allowing our kids to use the paddle boat and fishing gear! Danny, Heather, Laci, Devan, Dylan and Konner R**** |
| Nov 7-11, '10 | Arlen & Sherry. You have a great quest house. We thoroughly enjoyed
our stay and had a great relaxing time while down here. Thank you for
working with us to get our plans rearranged. The beautiful fall
temperatures added to our enjoyment. Thanks again. Jim & Alice F****
Newton, KS PS: The new house construction kept me entertained while setting on the deck - a little noisy but would like to see it when completed. |
| Nov 2-5, '10 | Thanks for all the good fishing and hospitality. We'll be back. Haas Family |
| Oct 23, '10 | Arlen & Sherry: Once again, thanks so much for everything! If I
start listing, I may forget something but here goes---- First, for the
wonderful accommodations. Couldn't be better. Even had golf cart for
wheels if needed. It means so much to have a gathering place for the
mini reunion! Bob would say the highlight is the GREAT crappie FISHING.
Other than yummy eating -- I'd say the best was the shopping. Sherry,
you even went twice in one day!@ And, Sherry even made sure I got to
Coldstone! Thanks! Enjoyed the music Hall too. This has been a true
vacation. Hate to go home and back "to the grind". You all have
fun with your family.
Love to you both. Sharil & Bob, Clay Center, KS |
| Oct 23, '10 | Dear Ones. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful place for all
us kids to once again get together!@ As usual, we truly enjoyed!
Fishing-- you guys really hauled them in! They had a great guide! :) You
have us very spoiled! I enjoy how we do meal times with each taking our
turns on a main meal & of course always enjoy eating out. The best was
the great fish fry (Sharil, your country ribs came in a very close
second :) ). And, Sherry you made a hit with the sugar free cake! (MY
LAST BREAKFAST :) Bill)
Also appreciated your help getting me started with making the baby blanket. We didn't have time to play Bunko - guess we'll just have to comeback! God bless you both for your goodness and sharing! And Thanks again! Eleanor & Bill **** Topeka, KS PS: Dear Arlen: Please forgive me for running back and forth in the back of the boat making constant splashing noise with "fish onb" and distracting my wonderful guide/Bro! :) You have the gift of giving and Sherry as well. This was a wonderful break & fun time needed by all. Love you both. Bill |

right size for a vacation home for our family. Not too big. Not too

| July 19-24 '10 | We send many thanks to Arlen, Sherry, and Alli for a beautiful
vacation spot. This is our first trip to the Lake of the Ozarks and we
love it! Your home really made the trip extra special! It is very clean
and comfortable. Thank you so much for the warm, hospitality! We will be
back, hopefully soon. Tony, Pauley & Abbey **** and Abbey's friend, Lacey. |
| July 10-17 '10 | We had a wonderful trip to the Lake of the Ozarks and this house
added to the experience! Our family came down here for a reunion and to
celebrate our grandparents 60th wedding anniversary!
You can tell God spent a little extra time creating the landscape we are surrounded by. We were thankful to be able to use our boat and the Carlson's paddleboat to explore the water and scenery. Sweet of you to lend it out! We spent a majority of our mornings fishing off the pier where we caught mostly cat & pan fish. After a little fishing we floated in the nice 83 degree water and worked on our sun tans. We are now bronze gods & goddesses! :) We only spent one afternoon exploring the downtown strip and gathered many fun treasures. We were all very thankful to use your place. It was so wonderful to have all we needed like towels, dishes, etc. Thank you so very much for allowing us to use your home. Arlen - it was great to meet you! We appreciated the fishing advice! Sherry - We hope Arlen gets you a cute new dog soon and it stays with YOU!! Ha Thank you again! Hope to make it back! The Krueger & McShea group |
| July 4th weekend '10 | What a great house! My husband and I were lucky enough to come down
with his parents & Brother! It was such a lovely view with great
amenities. We were able to get great use of relaxing on the dock, and
saw a fabulous fireworks display at H Toad (It's definitely worth a
visit!) Thanks for providing all we needed!Alicia, St. Louis. Thanks Arlen & Sherry, for a fabulous weekend at your Lake home. Mike & Priscilla - Illinois

| June '10 | Sherry & Arlen, Thank you for letting us stay in your guest house.
The accomodations were great for six people. The labeling made
everything so convenient. Can't find a think to complain about!! :) Bob
& Joan - St. Louis. Sherry & Arlen, Evertything was wonderfull!! We are leaving refreshed & the time spent with you was soul refreshing! Ed & Gisela - Herington, Ks, Kathrarina & Ernst, Kaiserslautern, Germany |
| June '10 | Thank you so much for your hospitality! We enjoyed every
minute of our vacation at your guest house. We are sad to be going but
look forward to our next visit. Arlen, thank you for the fishing company and great advice, it was a pleasure making a new friend in Missouri! We will see you next summer! Liz & Kyle - Louisiana |
| June '10 | Enjoyed celebrating our 35th wedding anniversay in this lovely home. Thanks! Ken and Linda - Salem, MO |
| May '10 | Your wonderful home hosted six 20-something this memorial weekend.
We're celebrating an approaching wedding and we looked so forward to
rest and relaxation before the festivities in July.... I mean June. Some
bridesmaid I am! Wrong month. We spent both days glued to the dock. Arlen was awesome and even set up lounge chairs for us - so sweet! We took a few trips in the paddleboat. Just a note - three girls in the front equals the need for a bailout. Don't worry, the white bucket saved us. At night, we grilled and home cooked meals. We barely even left the house we were so happy and content. A few things we loved the most.
In closing. Thank you SO much for your accommodations and ease in reaching and clean-up. We all feel very rested, had great conversations, worked on our forms and felt completely comfortable & at home. We would love to return and enjoy your accommodations. Thank you!! Bridget, Rachele, Kyla, Robyn, Liz, Shawnda |
| October '09 | Thank you so much for letting us stay and a special thank you for
letting Buddy come too. We had a great time just relaxing and getting away from it all. Really enjoyed HaHa Tonka park. Thanks for suggesting it to us Arlen. Hope to see you again. Kip and Joyce & Buddy |

Whoops - I meant to say catcher & cleaner! :) Again from us - thanks loads. Hate to get back to the real world! Thanks Loads. Bob |
| September '09 | Dear Arlen & Sherry~~ It's had to say good-bye! This has been an awesome week & time went by so quickly. The fun, food and fellowship was all great. So was the shopping (thanks so much for delivery to our favorite stores); fishing (Arlen you are a great guide! & many fish were caught); and the moonlight ride on a beautiful boat loved it! You both have created some wonderful memories for us siblings!! I pray Doug & Penny can join us at some point in time. May God bless you 100 fold for all you have done for us! Love, Sis & Bill PS: Thanks for knitting lessons & new wash cloth :) |
| September '09 | Arlen & Sherry-- Many many thanks again for hosting our sibling
get-together for 2009! Of course, we're all sad that brother, Doug,
wasn't able to come. Your guest house is perfect with superb facilities.
Hostess Sherry was so patient to chauffeur me shopping & Arlen was the
perfect fishing guide. Close to 150 crappie caught - WOW! Too bad Arlen
had to eat all the left over fish that he was to deliver to the boat!!
Thanks again and we'll look forward to next year - if we're invited! Love Sharil & Bob |
| August '09 | Arlen & Sherry ~~ The P****** family really enjoyed our time at the lake. We had many memorable moments together. Swimming, Kayaking, fishing, eating & laughing. We also had our own bat experience at 5:30 am one morning. Poor Bat He was more scared that we were - almost. Thank you for a lovely place to share our family time. Linda, Lisa, Amy, and Andy & families. PS: we call this place "96 steps". |
| August '09 | Arlen & Sherry Thank you Both so much for a great place to stay and all the wonderful hospitality! You have made this a very memorable week and we hope to come back and stay here again very soon! Mark, Kathy, Ryan, and Shawn M****, Justin S*****, and Tommy H****. PS: The weather was perfect also! including the bat chase!! Very exciting! |
| June '09 | Arlen & Sherry, As expected, we all enjoyed the stay. The girls wished we could stay longer! We will do that next year for sure! This place is awesome! Loved the Paddle Boat! :) The R*******'s, Stacey, Greg, Callie (13) & Hannah (9) |
| July '09 | Arlen & Sherry, We enjoyed your letting us use your house for the following 3 days. The accommodations that you had for us was great. On the other hand, we did get a lot of use out of the paddle boat. We did get a lot of exercise out of your stairs that we had to go up and down to get to the dock. It was a big workout, but we did enjoy your house. Thank you for letting us stay here. Al, Melanie, Kayla, M******, Omaha, NE |
| June '09 | Arlen & Sherry. Your accommodations are great! You've thought of everything! Despite our boat situation, we had a good time. We definitely got our exercise on your paddleboat. :) Arlen- thanks for giving us a little tour of the lake on your new boat. Breakfast was great. We appreciate your hospitality & kindness. We now consider you our new friends! Thanks for everything! Dan, Karla, Kara, Kyler & Keenan P***** Bourbonnais, IL |
