BOX 85 Orcas, Washington 98280 Your Hosts: Richard and Nanae Fralick "We are grateful that our guests are so eloquent."	"Thank you so much for a magical stay. Peaceful, beautiful and so very private. We awoke in the morning to the sight of deer in the front yard. We fell asleep to the ferries coming and going. Such an excellent view from anywhere in the house. We could stare out the windows forever at the water. You have put a lot of love and care into this house "the Mariner's Dream." Thank you so much for a wonderful stay; we look forward to another stay very soon."			"We had a wonderful time in both your cottages. I must say that both have been indeed a dream. What a fantastic place Mariner's Dream is. Awesome view of the waters and the nearby islands. The incoming and outgoing ferries across the Sound, the whirring of the light aircraft and the boats that were moving in and out complemented the serenity of the place. Saw a seal swimming about in the evening and a flock of seagulls flying toward the ferry landing as the sun was setting. The sight of ferry lights at night as we were having dinner was just breathtaking. We ended the evening with a soak in the hot tub and then having a cup of tea in front of the fireplace listening to the crackling of the wood as it burned. We woke up to the sound of birds gently chirping and the sunray's reflection twinkling on the surface of the water. The resident seal was back again as we were savoring our breakfast on the bench below. What a beautiful day!!! We have truly enjoyed celebrating our 5th anniversary in Mariner's Dream and Isle Dream. There are simply no words to describe both other than "Pure Bliss".
	"We'll take great memories of the pleasure of waking to such a serene sight in the mornings" with a sketsh of view thru toes.		"WOWIE! First look and this place is clearly spectacular. The embodiment of "dream" house!"
	"So what of Mariner's Dream? It was such a wonderful place. We have enjoyed staying here immensely. The peace/quiet has been such a pleasure, just the ferry in the background to keep us aware that life goes on around us. We were thrilled to wake up in the lovely bedroom with the sun trying to break through the rain clouds, but then to find an Osprey swooning down and landing in the tree at the end of the deck. . .we were amazed. "
	"Even in the rain your home here is a cozy paradise. We hope we are lucky enough to return someday. This was a perfect place to celebrate our 25th anniversary--so romantic and the view is uncomparable. We loved watching the sky, the bald eagle, the ferries, the fishing boats from the hot tub. Thank you for this 'dream' getaway."		"Mariner's Dream is the perfect place to get cozy. . ."
		"We had the most romantic weekend ever! . . .Thank you for having eveything so beautiful for us. It was so special we teared up. . ."		Thank you ! A beautiful time of the year to be here. The quiet is blissful. The cottage is beautiful down to every last detail. There wasn't a thing that wasn't provided!"
	"Two nights we have enjoyed lazing in the tub with bright unknown stars twinkling above and the ferry light twinkling below. "	"Dark it was when we arrived--so I was like a child awaiting Christmas morning to awake and see our adventure awaiting us! From every special touch in your "Mariner's Dream" to the views of God's truly spectacular playground which we are blessed to play in--to "Matt" the cat at the corner store--this place is truly a Dream. . . Even in the rain! We look forward to returning soon and hope to meet you two and share our stories. What a special place to share our anniversary--truly a reflective, and rejuvenating atmosphere you've created. We are so blessed--our gratitude to you"		". . . Returning to this oasis of beauty for a relaxing soak in the tub, watching the ferries pass or resting beneath the deck in a hidden hammock--undescribably relaxing! We hope to be back at our earliest possible opportunity--
	"Better than the photos! The view is incredible. Its like you’re sitting on the water. This morning I woke at 7:20 and the water was still and smooth and the sky had cleared. Beautiful! Because this is not our first trip to the island, we spent 90% of our time hanging out here at Mariner’s Dream. We enjoyed the hot tub immensely and can’t wait to return in June when we can hopefully enjoy the deck. We did venture out to have dinner Friday at the Orcas Hotel. Very good + the service by Samantha was perfect. We are excited about returning* and are leaving very relaxed." *Return reservation confirmed.			"I'm a college student. . . [we] saved for a year and were able to afford time in Seattle and this cottage. . .truly an amazing reward for months of saving. This stay was not only a vacation, but a lesson. Saving does something amazing--it makes you wealthy. Every expectation we had for this cottage was blown away--your attention to detail is present every place the eye can rest. . ."
		"Thank you for, yet again, a fabulous stay in one of your 'dream' cottages. Once again, we were very impressed. Your cottages are all wonderful for different reasons. We really enjoy staying with you and hope to do it again next year."		"What a rejuvenating place to reflect and welcome in a new year. We hope to be back for farmer’s markets and biking and lake dipping in the summer but we are thankful to have had our first taste of this peaceful island in the winter!"
