Guest Book:
Cheryl and Barry,
Rick and I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful stay at Whistling Duck cottage. It is a beautiful location, and you have done a great job making the cottage warm, comfortable, and welcoming. Nancy's help in picking us up, getting the groceries we needed, and helping us with the rental car was definitely a bonus, and made everything very easy for us.
You truly have a wonderful place, and if we come to Long Island again before our own construction is complete, Whistling Duck will be the first place we come for accommodations.
Thanks again!
Kendra & Rick
