(TRANSLATION; WE ENJOY REMEMBERING THE 2 WONDERFUL DAYS WHICH WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND AT LES LAVANDES. IT WAS BY FAR THE BEST ACCOMMODATION, INCLUDING THE MEALS, THAT WE EXPERIENCED DURING OUR 6 WEEKS TRIP THROUGH AMERICA. ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. CHRISTL AND ROLF

Dear Richard and Myrta,

    We are so pleased that our friends found your "Swiss hideaway". You have created a wonderful haven in the Missouri river countryside. We enjoyed both the scenic beauty and your wonderful hospitality, particularily the conversations. Best wishes to you both and we look forward to spending time with you again in the future.

 Dear Richard and Myrta,
    Thank you so much for sharing your very special world with us. The food, the hospitality, the surroundings, the conversations, the beauty......all were among the most special I have ever experienced. The memories of this beautiful stay will always remain.

 Richard and Myrta,
    Les Lavandes is truly special. Your kindness, warmth, and excellent hospitality made for a fabulous weekend. Sharing stories and memories with the two of you over "Fondue" was so enjoyable ; it felt like dinner with old friends. Thank you for the little touches that made us feel so welcome. Coming home to chocolate truffels and a warm, cozy room was great. I look forward to returning and seeing the new things you've learned about the B&B and of course, the Fondue. Many thanks.

 Richard and Myrta,
    Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality! It was so nice getting to know both of you, and in Myrta, a fellow gardener and baker. The shrine is indescribably exquisite. I believe that there are no coincidences, and that we made a pilgrimage without consciously planning it.
    P.S. The food, the room, the view and the that tub under the stars were all absolutely wonderful!

 Dear Richard and Myrta,

    Thank you for our restful, restorative stay with you. We know  we were led here - our Lord is so good and so wise!  You are well suited for this endeavor. Your welcoming touch is found in all the lovely details. We will be back to see you, as we felt like friends already when we arrived! Thank you for the delicious food, the peaceful location, your  special attention to our anniversary, and your warmth.
    Fondly, and God bles you, Thomas and Amy Annen, Appelton, Wisconsin

    You are the greatest of innkeepers. Your breakfasts are so delicious as are the "High Teas". And the hospitality is the best. We enjoyed our hikes on the country roads and Katy Trail. We came for a weekend - wish we could stay one month. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Richard and Myrta,
    Our second visit and what a wonderful relaxing weekend. Even better than last October. Enjoyed our 2hour hike to the top of the hill. The Shrine and country side bring peace to the soul. We feel humbled and refreshed when we have to eave. But we'll return and bring more friends...or not. We may want to keep this place a secret. Thanks for everything.

This is so beautiful, beautiful - a piece of heaven! We love all the lavender and purple. Of course, we are both artists, of course we love lavender. The view is spectacular. As we awoke at 6:30 this morning we saw the sun rising out of our east window and I ran outside in my pajamas to take a photo. It was awsome. I saw a painting everywhere I turned! Thank you for a wonderful visit and a great breakfast.

 Myrta and Richard,
 After a beautiful wedding we could not have anticipated anything quite so wonderful as your B&B. It went so far beyond our expectation that we intend to tell everyone. I know that they need to drop what they are doing and  come here immediately. Thank you and say hello to my parents.

Dan and I could not have asked for a more wonderful place to honeymoon. The setting is beautiful, the food scrumptuous and the hospitality has been absolutely magical. Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of heaven with us.

 Dear Myrta and Richard,

 We only get away once a year and we knew it would be fun but you completely blew us away with your service. Your loving care of your guests is beautiful and God inspired. You have left me with the desire to serve others better and with more joy. We can't wait until next year. We definitely want to come stay again. Next time we will take you up on the dinner invitation. Looking forward to seeing you again.
     Love, Heather and Nathan Gilbert, Camdenton, Missouri

 

 
Dear Myrta and Richard,
 It took 26 years for us to have a 2nd honeymoon and we couldn't have asked for anything better. The Cottage was lovely. Your teas are unbelievable and breakfasts tremendous. We will surely recommend your B&B  to any and all we encounter. Your friendliness and hospitality are beyond compare and will be cherished. We will remember our weekend with a smile for years. Thank you and God bless!

 Myrta and Richard,
     What a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere we found at your place. In this world of hustle and bustle and constant activity, it is such a pleasure to find a place to get away from it all! The food was out-of-this-world! I just loved the special touches that made our stay terrific. We both felt pampered and special. That was due to the hard work and effort you put into everything. God bless you both!

 Richard and Myrta,

     It takes a special kind of person to open their home and hearts to "strangers", but you do it with style, grace, and old world charm. Thank you so much for all the little touches that made our weekend so wonderful. From the laughs at the table, to the hot tub under the stars, to the wonderful, wonderful meals. THIS HAS EASILY BEEN THE BEST  B&B WE HAVE STAYED AT. We anxiously look forward to our next visit. Take care and God bless.
