"My husband and I have stayed in many B&B's around the country and North Lodge can compete with the best of them!

To whom it may concern,
As with all Innkeepers, there comes a time where we must get away. We all face the same concerns. Some of ours were;
--what would happen to our business,
--will our guests be taken care of professionally
--will our staff attempt to take advantage of our absence
--can anyone prepare the same quality meals as us but the biggest worry we had was,
will our puppy be taken care of properly.

We received a reference on a company named “Leave It To Us Innsitters” that sounded very positive so we decided to give them a call. This proved to be a very wise decision. John and Rosie Siedelmann are not only excellent people, wonderful innkeeper's, they have become good friends. They put forth their best effort taking care of our Inn and satisfying all of our guests. Not only did our guests call back later to express their pleasure, our puppy wanted to adopt them.

We have entrusted our Inn to John and Rosie on multiple occasions and each time we returned to numerous positive comments. I highly recommend “Leave It To Us Innsitters” to any innkeeper that has found themselves trapped, and need to find a trusty person to care for their Inn . Please feel free to call us for a more personal reference, if more information is needed.

Sincerely,
