2011 Dear Ramona and Ron, We enjoyed our stay so much in your beautiful bed and breakfast. The bed in the Victorian room had a
super comfy mattress and the atmosphere and decorations were so soothing,
peaceful and pretty. Your home is
spotless; it’s so very clean and inviting!
Thanks for the tasty bagels and muffins.
Our favorite thing to do was sit in the sun room with coffee and have our
quiet time each morning gazing out at the mountain and the lake. Here’s a blessing for you from God’s
word: “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be
refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25 Alan & Frances – North Carolina
2011 I’m so happy we picked the lodge
along our tour of the West Coast. It was a very pleasant stay. Most impressive
is the spectacular view of Mt. Rainier and the restfulness of the evening and
night hours. We enjoyed the discussions with you.
You, as innkeepers, do an outstanding job.
All the best for you. Arne
and Torsten – Germany
2011 What a wonderful find. We had no idea such a gorgeous place
existed. To hope that tomorrow will
bring sunshine and the possibility that the beautiful mountain will expose
itself in full glory. From some very
contented Australians – Julie and Graeme, Melbourne

Dear Ramona and Ron, Thanks for maintaining the antiques, especially the sewing machines and those things in the
kitchen. They made me feel at home
(In India) and I didn’t feel that there was an ocean between us! We are all the same loving creatures
of God. Rest everything else was
cozy and comfortable. You’ve managed
the space very well and given all the modern amenities. Thank you!

Our favorite memory of 2011 was
staying at your place in July!! Dawn and Perry - California
2010 Thanks Ramona and Ron, for such a lovely retreat. We commend you for maintaining one of our National treasures. That is a gift to our country. It has been a dream to see both Mt.
Rainier and Mt. St. Helens. Staying
with you was the capstone to a wonderful couple of days. Good luck, keep well and take care. George and Joyce – Maryland

Dear Ron and Ramona I like this place because it
is so pretty and you have such a
pretty mountain view! Thank you for: giving us such a great room and letting me
watch the movie on the TV, giving me the heart candies and such great shampoo,
soap and lotion in the bathroom. Thank you in advance for breakfast tomorrow,
Love, Alexandria

2009 Thank you very much this place is wonderful! Hope to come back
sometime in the future. Michal
and Yosi – Haifa, Israel
2009 Ramona and Ron, thank you so very much for being so
warm and friendly. You made our stay very personal. We want to thank you for helping to
make our son Steve’s wedding very special.
You have a beautiful place and we want to wish the two of you the best. Once again thank you! Bruce and Donna - Issaquah, WA
2008 We arrived about 8 but couldn’t go in because the Mountain was out in the
last of sunset tints! You were right
– a better view from your great veranda
than from the Paradise Inn or even Skyline Trail. We loved walking down to the water
and to Ron’s gazebo with the mountain always in view. Then returning to your inn
with quite a history. Enjoyed
breakfast with a knowledgeable collection of world travelers. What a remarkable experience you have
created for all of us! Thank you

Ramona and Ron Thank you so much for
your hospitality, for us it’s like a dream in this great and fantastic area,
the first trip in the North West of America and in Washington state. The Americana room is very nice and
we had a very good night. We were
very proud to have the Stars Spangled Banner in the room because we have great
respect for your flag. Thank you
again for this unforgettable stay in your beautiful lodge with the fantastic
view of the lake and the mountains.
Best Regards Yves

We came here to see Mount Rainier.
Fortunately – for Heaven’s sake – we ended up at Mineral Lake!

Direct from France for a walk in
the evening, through the forest misty, mysterious, calm place! And in the
morning a radiant sun shines on the lake and Mount Rainier, two deer passing
down the lawn, a real postcard! Jean

My third visit! It gets better each time. What a wonderful respite from my busy
life and now it brings bittersweet memories of my mother who stayed here with me
last time in what was to be her last vacation.
This trip is about healing from her loss just a week ago. More than memories and good times,
the lodge has become a good part of my life that I treasure. I find peace here as well as warmth
of friends and family. Thank you for
all you do to provide this wonderful haven.
Julie – Oregon
2007 With deep regret we only were privileged to stay here for one night. Ron and Ramona we thank you for a
delightful stay! We thank our Lord
for bringing us to your little piece of Heaven.
Our room is so pretty and peaceful , also so clean! This is by far the cleanest inn we
have ever stayed at. The Mt. view,
the lake, the birds, the geese, the beautiful sunrise the lovely antiques. We
love it all! Last night down at the bench by the water, a deer came right across
our path… Splendid! This has been a
great little get away and we feel Blessed. Heidi and Chuck – Auburn, WA
2006 Glad we found your lodge. We had a wonderful time. We had a great time fishing off your
dock…well Ron had a better time than I did since he caught a 9 lb. 2 oz. trout! Thank you so much for your warm
hospitality and beautiful surroundings.
We’ll share this with all our friends. Ron and Brenda – Rochester, WA

We watched Mt. Rainier emerge from the clouds in this wonderful sun room
while sipping on raspberry wine and playing rummy.
How perfect! Rob &
Patty – Ocean Shores, WA

What a wonderful find, a beautiful place, two great people to greet us and
a majestic mountain, overlooking a
beautiful lake. In Wisconsin we call
this “God’s Country.” Thanks for
your hospitality we’d love to come back again.
Therese and Don – Wisconsin

The bed was wonderful. The view enchanting.
The other guests interesting and the
trips to Mount Rainier short, pleasant drives.
The restaurants recommended by Ramona delicious. A very refreshing weekend, thank you.

We felt right at home here! Thank you for making our stay so
wonderful. The view from the dock is
gorgeous. We couldn’t get over how
beautiful Mt. Rainier looked at sunset.
When we look back on our trip we will definitely have fond memories of
our stay here. Melissa and Jennifer –

There are so many ways that this lodge is perfect: Location, Beauty,
Convenience, Quiet, Choices. We savored them all.
Thank you, Ramona and Ron for taking on the project and caring for this
treasure so that we and future seekers of solitude and reflection can fill their
needs. Bob and Deb – Seattle, WA
2005 I got in at 11PM and left to climb Rainier at 6AM. It was the
best 7 hours of sleep I’ve ever had. Denny
2005
Sitting by a crackling fire and
watching the mountain change colors as the sun set – PERFECT! Thank you for making this possible
for us. Dan and Faith - Minnesota

Ramona and Ron (alias R&R) The Lord’s beauty is all over you two. It’s the
sparkle of your eyes, the calmness and joy in your voice and the place you have
infused is this humble abode. Not
only have you made Mineral Lake Lodge into a welcoming place but also a resting
stop for weary travelers of life.
May the Lord richly bless you as you touch lives, speak truths and bring peace.
We so enjoyed our chat with you. The
fishing time on the dock was so relaxing.
Thank you again! Bob & Cindi
Covington, WA
2004 Everything about this lodge is done
right – the place is authentic with all its atmosphere, and all the
amenities are up to date and comfortable.
Ramona and Ron are wonderful hosts.
Thank you Lord, for leading me here, thousands of miles from home. May I someday return here with my
wife. Tom - Raleigh, North Carolina
** I hope you have enjoyed just a
small sampling of comments written by our guests. We opened the lodge the summer
of 2003 and our very first guests were a young married couple from London
England. We were unable to find that particular journal with their comments but
after all these years, I can still see their happy faces!
Ramona
