“Hi Dawn, I wanted to personally thank you for making our weekend such a memorable occasion; the food, hospitality and comfortable surroundings were par excel lance and greatly appreciated. I marvel at the passion you have for pleasing your guests, even after all these years, to take the time to explain every detail of your culinary presentations shows the love you have and continue to put into your trademark, the Cameo Rose. You are a reflection of what should be in the B&B industry; don’t ever lose that. We hope to see you for a warm and cozy getaway this winter, when the snow flies. Take care, Bob & Donna G, Waukesha.”

Hi Dawn and Gary, We arrived back in St. Paul late last night and cannot seem to stop talking about the lovely 2 day visit at your B and B.
