"We've enjoyed your hospitality during our stay in Victoria and are planning to return for our one year wedding anniversary next year. You were so very nice people and your place is very beautiful and inviting. By the way, you’re a great cook! The blueberry pancakes were wonderful! Also, we wouldn’t have had a better directions and ideas of where to go and what to do it wasn’t for you. Thanks so very much for a great stay."
Mike & Janell Mathewson, Kelso, Washington
"You have a gift! For making people feel welcomed and for giving people a special place to hide away! We’ve had such a wonderful time. Thank you so much! Your web site pictures are nothing compared to the real experience and your added special touches, the anniversary card with the wind coolers, and goblets chocolates, etc. And let’s not forget the food! May the Lord bless you Dick & Valerie, in your years to come and again, Thank you!"
Travis & Mary Ellen Holman, Rochester, Washington
"Thank you kindly for your warm reception, hospitality and thoughtfulness you showed us while spending our honeymoon week here. This place is like heaven….so clean and peaceful. The room was beautiful, the sweet card was special and the daily house cleaning was great. We will treasure this time together forever in our memories. The overall experience - the food, the service, and most important your professional approach is A+++"
Dr. Laura & Darin, Arroyo Grande, California
"This is the perfect place to spend a honeymoon! If you're looking for privacy, intimacy and real beauty, Florence Lake is the place to stay. This has been hospitality par excellence! And it’s so close to everything. Valerie, you were such a wonderful host. My husband and I decided we’re going to adopt you as our mother-in-law proxy. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us."
Shauna & Mike Plaeger, Puyallup, Washington
"Dear Valerie, What a delightful time we've had - only because of such a marvelous hostess! I’m so glad we found this place of rest and quiet and hope to be back some day. We sure do appreciate all you’ve done for us and won’t forget the delicious breakfasts. You were born to do B & B - you do it so very graciously - made us feel at home. I’ve enjoyed our room so very much and would say it was far more "5*****" than what "Sooke Harbour House" was. Thank you for everything."
Art & Irene Casteel, Grecham, Oregon
"We wish to thank you for making a very important weekend memorable for the rest of our lives. The effort on your part to help set up "The Question" when I asked Louise for her hand in marriage, to the final breakfast was superb! Both of you have found your calling. The place is absolutely fantastic and we re already making plans to return. Our descriptions to friends and family will communicate the "Awe" in which we spent our time. Thank you both!! P.S. I’m so glad she said - Yes!!" (soon to be Mr. & Mrs.)
Michael Magarrell & Louise Curtis, Portland, Oregon
"We have come here on our honeymoon and have had the most wonderful time. This is a great place to stay. Wonderful rooms, a great view, and the food has been outstanding. Our trip to Victoria would not have been nearly as much fun if we hadn’t stayed here. Your hospitality and friendliness have bee without equal. We will definitely come back!"
John & Amanda Wilkinson, Nashville, Tennessee
"Sometimes It's hard to find the right words to express appreciation for all your kindness. We have had a wonderful time here at Florence Lake and it will always hold special memories for us as it was the start of our married lives together. We couldn't have picked a lovelier place to be married at Florence Lake. It was so quiet and serene. We hope to come back again for a special occasion, our anniversary. Thanks for everything, you are a wonderful couple. You home is cozy and relaxing. I love the trees and the bird feeders."
Wayne & Sharon Miyageshinma, Calgary, Alberta
"You were just what we needed - "Victoria's Best Kept Secret"! Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality, your sightseeing suggestions were fabulous - our favorite was the murals and town of Chemainus. We will remember this trip for another 30+ years --- we'd love to come back before then though (before we're all too old to travel or have a B&B, right?!) We appreciate all you have done for us - Thank you!"
Ken & Laura Albrecht, Vancouver, Washington
"Our decision to spend our first week of marital bliss with you was the best thing. We traveled half way across the continent to get away from it all only to find "home". Your friendliness and hospitality more than exceeded our expectations. You truly made our honeymoon perfect! Thanks for all the sightseeing advice and making us feel welcome!"
William & Rebecca Salmor, Dalton, Minnesota
"Dear Valerie, dear Dick. Thank you for your warm hospitality. We think that it was a good decision to leave the world of stress and to share friendship with our guests - that are far from home."
Daniel & Raphael, Zurich, Switzerland
"Thank you both for a wonderful weekend. We have never stayed at a B&B before, but now we're hooked!! We both needed a break from our fast paced world and staying here gave us the needed quiet and relaxation we wanted. You were a wealth of information and were so helpful in planning our stay. We have stayed at a lot of 5***** Star Hotels. This was the best!! We will definitely be back and will tell our family and friends. Thank you for a great experience!."
Brian & Julie Gross, Everett, Washington
"A beautiful setting, superb hosts and food. The warmest welcome anyone could wish for. Great! Thanks to you both for a lovely stay."
Heather & Geoff, Rotherfeld, Sussex, England
"Thank you for your part in making our honeymoon a dream come true. The setting is breath-taking, the room perfect, the food great! We appreciate your kindness and all you have done to accommodate us. Thank you for all the little extra touches, they made everything that much nicer. This is the nicest place I think we have ever seen. Thank you for your friendliness and making us feel welcome. Good luck in all your future endeavors. We hope to be able to come back soon.--P.S. Thank you for the card!"
Chris & Kerry, Provo, Utah, USA
"We would like to thank you for your warm hospitality. This is a new experience for both of us, but we really have enjoyed every moment of it. The scene of the lake is gorgeous, the atmosphere is the most relaxing and warmest we can expect. once again, thank you for your generous treat. Both of us sincerely wish you all the best. We are certain that Florence Lake Bed & Breakfast will become one of the most famous getaways in the near future."
Rosanna & Stanley, Vancouver, BC, Canada
"We would like to thank you for superb hospitality. We were happy to have picked this beautiful place. Unfortunately we could stay only for one night. We would really like to come again sometime. We wish you all the best for the future."
Dieter & Elizabeth, Ochenthal, Germany
"We enjoyed and appreciated the wonderful hospitality and the seemingly endless small touches that made our stay so pleasurable. also, we'll never forget our delightful boating experience in the evening-including bailing out the boat. We've stayed in many B&B's, but never have we experienced such a wonderful breakfast. We hope to return again one day. Thank you for everything."
Emine & Dale, Ankara, Turkey
"Don and I visited this - the most fabulous B&B as a special Father's day treat. (9 children between us!) Never dreaming that such a special corner of the world existed! We have loved every minute here - enjoying to the fullest - such a welcome, the most beautiful home - and our room, complete with water bed, Jacuzzi tub, shower, porch overlooking the lake - and Valerie's culinary talents for breakfast - surpassing any other feast in all our lives! What else can I say?! We look forward to returning, many, many more times. We feel as though we we've been to Valhalla (heaven) for a month! How lucky we are!--P.S. And a special thanks Valerie, for the lovely Father's Day card - it was so thoughtful of you."
Don & Anne, Victoria, BC, Canada
"From the first phone call, I knew we would feel at home here at Florence Lake B&B. The easy going, laid back welcome as we changed plans daily was much appreciate. All that was before we ever arrived at the beautiful setting at the lake! You have done such a beautiful job creating a home away from home to either relax, or see as much as possible in a short period of time like we did. Thank you, thank you for researching ferries to the mainland, your ground work saved us time so we could play. We love Canadian people, so friendly, helpful and enthusiastic! We have been from sky to sea and think this country is beautiful. With appreciation and looking forward to a return. -- P.S. Your fresh flowers are a special touch. Getting up extra early with us, serving coffee, fresh fruit and muffins was above the call of the duty."
Penny & daughter Emily, Littleton, Colorado, USA
