Just a note to again thank you for such a lovely time while we were in the hills. The camping could not have been better. Riding right into the forest service with ample water on the trails for the horses was perfect. The scenery from high plains to pines dripping in moss was so pleasant. The wildflowers were just an extra bonus. Thanks again and we can't wait to come back. Sincerely, Ray and Juanita Serafini

Hey Donley,
Just a few lines to thank you for an exceptional vacation this summer. The trails and scenery seemed to go on without end! Your traditional western hospitality made us feel more welcome and at home than any facility we've visited to date. Looking forward to next years trip already. Best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous year to you and your staff.  Randy Stillings, Hammond, WI

We enjoyed our stay at Bitter Sweet Ranch. Though the campground was rustic, hospitality was great. Trails were abundant in every direction and with Donley's guidance on horse back, we were able to view spectacular scenery and abundant wild life. Bitter Sweet Ranch is definitely a work in process. But if you enjoy peaceful and secluded surroundings, this is the place for you. Thanks Donley for the great week. And many thanks to Larry and Shari Harvey for the wagon rides and cowboy supper. Donley your quite the poet! Lori, Gina & Hannah "The Wisconsin Gals"

Donley, Thanks for everything! I had a great time at your place. You have to be the funniest person I've ever met. Don't think I've ever laughed so much in one week in my life. As you know we don't vacation a whole lot but this has to be the best one ever!  I'll cherish the memories we made for a long time, and hope some day to return for many more. The scenery, hospitality and the people were great. I only wish the weather could of been a little nicer. I'm enclosing a few photos for you. Hope you enjoy them. Till we meet again, Tracy

Donley, Thanks for the great time at your camp. Your western hospitality is exceptional. My wife loved the cattle drive. We spent only a few days with you and you seem just like family. You have a very nice place to ride and we loved it. Your buddies, Kirk and Portia Briggs, Holland MI
