Subject: Recovery at the Driftwood To: Fred@driftwoodinn.com What A WONDERFUL vacation we had at the Driftwood Inn!! Our reservations had been made several months in advance when my husband suffered a heart attack and underwent triple bypass heart surgery. After weeks of recovery we realized we had reservations and hoped to be able to still use them. Luckily the Dr. gave his approval after 7 1/2 weeks from surgery for my husband to travel to Fla. What a surprise when we arrived. The Driftwood Inn was like a dream come true for us. It was such a relaxing and peaceful place we really didn't want to leave. We enjoyed the beach and all the surroundings. We also loved the cats. We even named one Seaweed for the week and my husband bought cat food and fed it. That vacation was the most enjoyable and peaceful week we had spent in several months. Being flower lovers we strolled the grounds every chance for the exercise and enjoyment. The best medicine for recovery any dr. could ever prescribe. We enjoyed it so much we look forward to another trip for spring break and again in the summer. Thanks for the warm atmosphere and beautiful place to come to. I think a new tradition has been started. Annette and Michael Mitchell Powder Springs, Ga. Subject: Confirm reservation To: peggy@driftwoodinn.com I just wanted to confirm our reservations for May 14th - 17th and let you know how much we are looking forward to staying with you again. We had such a lovely time the last time we stayed at the Driftwood that it was no problem deciding where we wanted to go for our vacation. Our last visit proved to be very rich indeed. I took several pictures from the back decks. I used one, which I have attached, for a project for a Graphic Design class. The project was later nominated for an award from the Alabama Design Association in the student division. When I had my photos developed, the company that developed them gave me several enlargements in exchange for letting them display the photographs in their store. As you can see, we brought home some great memories and are looking forward to creating more. Sincerely, Butch and Leslie Craddock Fayetteville TN. Subject: MY STAY AT YOUR INN! To: fred@driftwoodinn.com. Dear Fred: WOW! YOU HAVE A WEB SITE! I just wanted to write and tell you what a wonderful time I had at your Inn last June! The location was perfect, the beach unbelievably beautiful and your Inn was exceptionally clean! I was so excited when your owner told me I could bring my dogs with me! When I walked into the room, and seen how nice and clean it was, I prayed my little ones would behave! (which they did of course) My three Maltese, Paul and I all had a wonderful time! I really want to return this year even if only for a night or two. I hope you and the bird (sorry I forgot his name) are doing well and that I will get to see you soon. Until then, behave yourself and keep greeting those customers because you are wonderful at it. What a warm feeling to walk into a hotel and have Fred greet you! By the way, I have told everyone about your Inn and would recommend it to anyone! Take care! Sincerely, Wendy Carrigan Moultrie, Georgia. To: dufus@driftwoodinn.com Subject: just what we needed!!! WOW!!!! what can I say, my wife and I were looking for a place to relax, and we definitely found one with you. The place is just beautiful. We knew we wanted to go to the beach, but didn't want to put up with a lot of loud teenagers. As soon as we arrived, we went straight to the white sand and became beach bums. The breakfast in the mornings were fantastic, the room was perfect and everyone was so nice, including Dufus, I loved the way he cornered me by the swings to keep rubbing him. We WILL absolutely be coming back, hopefully in May, I guess I need to make my reservations now!! Thanks again for everything, Jimmy Gresham LaGrange, Ga. To: stay@driftwoodinn.com Subject: Thanks for the Memories It's tough to come home from the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. All was perfect from the roomy room and comfortable beds, to the Dufus greetings each day and wonderful conversation in the swings in the evening. Thanks to you all and especially to Peggy, We will definitely be back. Susan Howell Bella Vista, AR. To: dufus@driftwoodinn.com Subject: Our Visit. Greeting Dufus! We were guests of your this past weekend (April 7th-10th) and from the moment you greeted us at the counter until the day of our sad departure, we had a doggone Great time. The older I get the harder it is for our accomodations to meet, let alone exceed, my expectations. Driftwood Inn was that rare exception! Your website is great and portrays your Inn as it is... a beautiful, Gulf Coast retreat. No false advertising there. On this visit we stayed in one of your cottages and could't believe how close it was to the water... getting any closer would require being on a cruise... and who would want to go on a cruise without Dufus?!? Thanks for a great place and the first of many visits to the Driftwood Inn! Steve Cheryl Jones Loganville, GA. To: dufus@driftwoodinn.com Subject: Wonderful Inn to Relax Dear 2nd. Family, In June 1997, my friend and I found the Driftwood Inn by mistake but it was the best mistake we ever made. For eight years now, the Driftwood Inn has been our home away from home. Words alone can not express the relaxing environment and atmosphere that we experience every time we visit. This past November, I took my mother to the Driftwood Inn for her 82nd.birthday. I've never seen my mother so relaxed and smile so much. The owners and staff at the Driftwood made her feel like part of their family as well as they do to everyone who visits their beach inn. You'll never meet a stranger at the Driftwood; everyone sits around the beautiful gardens watching the ocean while talking about everything from the weather to the grandkids. My mother would wake every morning and take her daily walk along the beach to the pier and return so relaxed. She was so impress with the Driftwood Inn that she has made reservations for two months next year to celebrate her 83rd. birthday. I just wanted to thank the Driftwood Inn's owners and staff for the best vacation my mother has ever experienced and allowing her to really enjoy her life. Tell Dufus I'll see him in 7 months, 15 days, 8 hours and 32 minutes; not that I'm counting or anything! Thanks again, Mary StClair-Warner Chattanooga, TN. To: dusuf@driftwoodinn.com Subject: Hello Dufas! Our stay with you this past weekend was short but so sweet! Though a bit stressed when we arrived, 36 hours later we were as laid back as you appeared every time we stepped over your sprawled form on the rug in front of the check-in counter! The beautiful gardens and trickling fountains throughout the property created the feel of an isolated tropical oasis, absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. Our room was as perfect as everything else about the weekend just what we needed with no unpleasant surprises. After enjoying a lovely continental breakfast in your beautiful dining room and a precious Sunday morning devotion time underneath the grape arbor next to the chapel, we left Driftwood Inn with body, mind and sprit renewed and refreshed. We both agreed your place reminds us of the quaint and wonderful bed...
