Guestbook for The Raven Penthouse, Big White

Dear Rachel and Rob,
Our stay at your Penthouse at the Raven was every bit as good as we hoped it would be. In fact, I can honestly say that it was one of the two best vacations I've ever had. I can't imagine topping this one. There is talk of doing it again. Thank you so much for making it possible.
We all loved the way the Penthouse is arranged. Everything about it is very comfortable. It must have the best view available at Big White. We really enjoyed watching the skating from the window and the fireworks were right there in front of us - couldn't possibly have a more amazing view of that.
Thanks again for making one of the highlights of our lives so very special.
Sincerely yours,
NM

Hi Rachel
I just wanted to let you know that we had a great time at Big White. My family loved it and I have never seen my girls so happy!! The eldest actually cried when we told her it was time to go home!!
Your penthouse is beautiful and very tasteful!! I'm still sore from playing my first ever game of Wii.
We hope to book it again next January......but this time I want at least 5 nights up there.
take care
Dean

Rachael,
We had a great holiday at Big White most especially because the penthouse was so nicely appointed with everything we needed. We had about a foot of snow while we were there and only 2 days of "The Big White - out" so the skiing was great. We hope to pay another visit next year so don't be surprised if you hear from us again. S&J

Hi Rachel & Rob
We did have a great time. Space in the house was great, even though only 2 of us.….and we never played pool either! We had a courtesy call from your guest support which was nice.
The snow was great, as all the blurb says - even though the locals said they were about a couple of feet short of their usual base. Fantastic to ski through the glades.
So we will definitely be going back!
A&J

Hi Rachael
We had a fantastic time at the Raven.
The penthouse was brilliant for our group of 9 adults and we all really enjoyed the luxury of the private pool table and hot tub. It was really nice to have separate towels for the hot tub and the bathrooms.
The kitchen is really well equipped, we cooked every night for 9 and always found that we had enough crockery and cutlery. We really had a great time and we loved Big White, we had fresh powder every day. I'm sure we will be back again - hopefully next New Year.
Kind regards
Sarah
