Thanks so much for your hospitality. The Miller Sanctuary is a nice place to relax. This was the perfect location to Cole Canoe Base [Campground] to pick our Boy Scouts up. The boys loved playing pool and relaxing in front of the TV after a week of camping.

Hi Joe, Ginger and Family!

Thank you for sharing Miller Sanctuary at Birchview with our family. We had a most relaxing week.

Highlights included:

• A canoe trip down the Tittabawasee River.
• Grilling outside for dinner.
• Seeing 8 wild turkeys on the front lawn.
• Some spirited games of cards (poker, rummy, and spoons).
• Laying in the hammock reading a book underneath a shade tree.
• Watching an afternoon thunderstorm roll in.
• Taking a pontoon ride to fish.
• Playing pool and enjoying a few late night movies with popcorn.
• Catching baby bullfrogs.
• Seeing a beaver dam along the river bank.
• Seeing deer, raccoons and rabbits on our meandering drives into the property.
• Toasting marshmallows at night by the waters edge.


We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to a return visit!


Sincerely,

The DeStephano/Dorsey Family (Granger, IN)

Dear Ginger and Joe,
You have the most beautiful cottage I have ever been in. You have furnished it with lovely and comfortable furniture. My favorite place is the main living room--large and lots of area to move around in. It was perfect for a family gathering. The full wall limestone fireplace was warm and nice to gather around.We enjoyed talking while sitting on the leather sofas. The other room with the pool table and large TV gave our family additional
entertainment.The kitchen is very large and well equiped. The setting is truely a santuary --a peaceful and serene place to relax and view nature on the river.

Dear Ginger and Joe,
Thanks so much for the awesome weekend. My husband and I were
looking for a nice, quiet place to spend our 30th Anniversary and your
lovely Santuary fit the bill and then some. We really enjoyed the king
size canopy. That was a special one for me as I have always wanted one
and have yet to get one. We also really enjoyed canoeing the river.
It is very picturesque. We actually live in the country, but you just
can't appreciate nature until you get into a setting like yours. We
made campfires each night and thoroughly enjoyed the sunset into star
filled skies. Ate smores too!
The house is more than comfortable and everything we needed we
certainly had. We would definitely comeback and we would like to bring
the family along. Thanks again for everything! We brought away great
memories for our anniversary.

God Bless,
Maggie and Randy
