The deer also put in a long appearance."

Mary Kay & Mike M., Orlando, FL 6.5.15
"There aren't sufficient words to describe the experience that is WildSpring. The magic of the place reached deep into my soul from the moment I pulled into the driveway. While mourning the loss of a ten-years relationship, I did not think of him...as my soul and spirit were too busy being touched by magic, by peace and love and hope and epiphanies about my future. I shed tears here over the last couple days, all of which were of sheet awe and delight at how special this place is, and the most powerful tears bring the realization that I am on my right path and have found for certain what my future holds. The 8-step process to achieving your dreams, which can be found in the Guest Hall, were the final words I needed to go after my dream NOW, not later, not in 20 years like I was thinking. Thank you Michelle & Dean from the bottom of my heart, for sharing your dream. It means everything. Blessed be."

Daniel, Ashland, OR 9.2.09
"Thank you for creating, so lovingly, a habitat dedicated to serenity! For me, the labyrinth, the hammocks, and the comfy bed were the perfect ingredients for some R&R, and a most inviting way to end an 11-hour drive. I was delighted by the whimsical surprises that greeted me everywhere I looked, and even when I wasn't looking. I needed a place to just be, and here I get to do that for a whole day! (2 nights highly recommended). A magical place!"
Cheryl, David, Melanie C., Berkley CA 8.19.09
"The beauty of the trees as the sun seeps through, the quiet, the comfortable cabins, the view, laying on the hammock with my husband brings peace to the soul. Strolling & seeing a doe & fawn in the quiet (though we see them in our own yard) leaves you awestruck. Our prayer is for those who stay in this cabin to find that peace - whatever is going on in your world. Look up to the sky & know this didn't just happen There is a one true God who made ALL of this beauty. It isn't the cute statue, the stones, the labyrinth, the empty shell of Mary? that will bring you peace, though it may quiet your heart. Walk around & contemplate the God of the Universe, His con, His Spirit & KNOW HE CARES FOR YOU. He wants you to chill, enjoy, laugh, and live in this world knowing He is the true answer. May God bless your stay. No - I'm not some weirdo. I just look around & see the God we know & love not recognized in any way - whether in a book in the guest house nor a small plaque. But guess what folks he is bigger than all that & He is here with you today. So as you take in the amazing view we pray you will find peace & hope in your todays & tomorrows. May God bring a smile upon your face today."
Jay & Kathleen, Huntsville, AL 8.11.09

I have never found such a seamless melding of the two. Luxurious, without tacky. Cozy without clutter, woodsy and decorated with taste! Our only regret is not enough time here. I could have spent an entire day on the hammocks along! We will definitely return. This is truly a magical place. It relaxes the soul. Thank you."

Michelle and Dean have created an environment that allows you the freedom to create your own vacation paradise! This cabin was the perfect spot for us to renew our love, after a very long absence. No distraction, no hype, no neon, just top notch amenities that gave us the “at home’ feeling. We measured the days, not by our watches, but when the sun rose and set. You too will discover the magic and quickly realize you were meant to be here. Explore the grounds with a careful eye! So much to discover in the landscape (find the rose). Our one wish for all who visit.... Enjoy the escape, soak each other up, be grateful for the time together, say ‘thank you,’ and be well as you re-enter your world that awaits you!"
