Mike, Michele, Willow Camille, We had an absolutely wonderful vacation at Sandy Point. It was the perfect spot for our family to unite. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place. We would love to come back! The Misko Family Heartland, WI. Hi Mike, Just wanted to start out by saying how great of a time we had this year at Sandy Point. We always have great vacations up there, but really enjoyed spending more time on the lake, and always enjoy getting in a round of
golf with you. Willow and Camille were wonderful with the kids. We can never say enough about how great your kids are. Al and Lauren loved it as well as the kids, who told us that they liked it up there better than Disneyland! Thanks again, and say Hi to Michele and the girls for us! Dave Aniballi Darien, IL. Michele, This is Jonathan Iwanski (one of The Brothers that kept stopping by last weekend. I just wanted to tell you and Mike that Chris (the fellow with the Ace on hole #1), Dave (the one ordering the Dylan disc), and I had an absolutely fabulous time at Sandy Point. Everyone was incredibly friendly (both staff and visitors), your kids were a blast, and the course was incredible. One of your stickers is proudly displayed on my car in the Fox Valley Technical College
parking lot in Appleton right now, and I can't wait to come back to play your course another time. Thanks again for a fabulous time! We'll see you again soon. Jonathan Iwanski Appleton, WI. Michele, Mike, Willow and Camille, I can't tell you how lucky we were to be frantically searching online for a resort when your cancellation popped up on the
screen! We have all had a wonderful, fun and relaxing time at Sandy Point. Everything is so clean and well kept and the entire area is just beautiful. Last night Rich and I finally got in a whole
game of disc
golf. (I got pretty familiar with all the woods while searching for my discs!) Mandi and Kristen were out in the paddle boat till dark taking advantage of their last evening here. We certainly hope to come back and see you all again. Thanks so much and take care! Shelly, Rich and Mandi Rehfeldt Dubuque, IA. Michele and Mike, I just wanted to again thank you for a wonderful week at your resort. Our children will have memories for a lifetime! We already are talking about next year. Have a great summer. Katie Griffin Cedarburg, WI. Dear Mike and Michele Thank you again for giving our youth group the wonderful opportunity of going to Sandy Point for a whole week. There is not one person (adult or youth grouper) who did not have a the time of their life this past week. The kids are now pumped for future big
trips and we cannot thank you both enough for paving that path. Have a fun summer. Jessica and Sam Swift St. Alban's Youth Group Ministers Tucson, AZ. M M We all had an absolutely fabulous time last week. You were such gracious hosts and still had smiles on your faces as we departed even though you had a very hectic work day in front of you. All the chaperones made it to church the next morning sporting our disc
golf t-shirts or Dream Life Designs jewelry and bragging about the week. Thanks for all you did: from providing the place to the spectacular fireworks display and everything in between. Bob and Lisa Swift Tucson, AZ. Hi Michele, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and Thank You for another fantastic weekend spent at your beautiful resort, Sandy Point!! Everyone had a wonderful time, as usual. Attached is a pic of the motley crew!!! I'd also like to take the time to let you know that we'd like to come back another year (Its already become part of our family tradition) and we would do it the same as 2005 if possible. Heads up for the Lakeview and Aerie for the weekend after Labor Day weekend. Thanks Again, Wally Trost and the rest of the Trost Group. Manitowoc, WI Toss Disc's, Not Bombs. Michele, We had a gas at the cabin. We played
golf just about every day. We even bought discs so we can play at home. We look forward to coming back next year too. I'll keep in touch in the winter and see what's available. Thanks again for the great week! Angela Spencer St. Paul, MN. Hi Michele... First of all, we had a wonderful time at your resort. It is absolutely beautiful, we loved it. Secondly, do you have any weeks in July of 2006 available for the Lakeview Lodge? We want to come up next summer but were hoping we could make it a little earlier. Hope you are enjoying this Back to School time of year. Sincerely: Kasey Williamson Plover, WI. Hi Michele I wanted to let you know that we had a great time and we really enjoyed the beautiful cabin and the resort. We played our first disc
golf ever and we all had a great time. Lauren, our one-year-old, even liked holding a disc and throwing it out of her stroller. And, apparently my husband has a knack for the
game. Our older girls had a great time swimming and
jet-
skiing, even though we only had two days warm enough. Even though the weather was not ideal, we had a great time. There was plenty to do. Your resort was fantastic. Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing from you about a possible booking for next year. Jill Wienkes Appleton, WI. Dear Mike, Michele, Willow and Camille, too: Thank you for another great week! See you next year. God's Blessings! The Czyzewski Family Hartland, WI. Aloha Michele and Mike, We had a wonderful time. Thank you and see you next year. David and Sheri Nolte Kailua, Hawaii. Dear Mike and Michele, I would like to thank you, your staff and, of course, your delightful daughters, Willow and Camille for your time and hospitality during our July Chamber After Five event. The food was delicious and the Disc
Golf demonstration by Waldo was fascinating. I certainly look forward to future
trips to your beautiful corner of the world to try my ability at disc
golf. Thanks again for sharing your home and talents with us. Cambria Mares, Executive Director M-A-V-W Chamber of Commerce Minocqua, WI. Mike and Michele, Hobey and I wanted to thank you for introducing us to disc
golf. We also enjoyed seeing your lovely resort. Now that I have read Michele's book I can really appreciate all that we saw. I loved the book. It touched on many aspects of our life too, (Tucson, love of the Northwoods and owning a
business.) We were so excited to tell our disc
golf daughter that we played and loved it and what a wonderful place. It turns out she has played at your resort several times. Thank you for a new, great adventure. Loved the Coke in a bottle, too! Carol Hobey Vance Minocqua, WI. Mike, Thanks for a great time. My family had a great time. Wayne Cindy Layer Lemont, IL. Mike, Michele, Willow and Camille, Thank you again. We LOVE it here! See you next year, David, Rachel, Max Georgia Hoyer Appleton, WI. Michele, For five days, I have been trying to compose a letter to your family, and cannot get the words down that are good enough to send to a journalist! So, I will just try to get my thoughts down in as good a way as I can. I know I speak for all of my family in thanking you for an absolutely perfect week--even including the 12 hour power failure. I have been vacationing all of my 68 years in the Lac du Flambeau area, and NEVER have generators been available for the many storms we went through--my children used to like the candlelight! The Big House is a dream--it was like living in someone's home for a week! It is so tastefully decorated--most vacation homes aren't even decorated!! I told my family that we're like the Jeffersons--We're moving on up!. I finished reading your first book by last week-end--it was SOOOOOO interesting. I want ever...
