We totally enjoyed our stay with Marc and Mirja in November. The rooms are warm, beautiful and tastefully furnished. There is a comfortable yet elegant feel around the whole house. Marc's breakfast is absolutely wonderful and we had the added pleasure of attending one of Mirja's Art Show. Thanks and we will definitely recommend the B&B to our friends.

We stayed with Marc and Mirja from October 24th to 25th. Our stay was the highlight of our trip! The surroundings were amazing and the rooms very comfortable and well decorated. They have the most amazing hydrotherapy showers. Breakfast was fantastic and Marc and Mirja were very kind and helpful. We would recommend the Windborne to anyone looking for a stay they will always remember!

Thanks again for a wonderful stay at your B&B this past weekend. The room was wonderful, the breakfasts delicious and the hot tub our savior after long days. You have done an amazing job in building and opening a first-class B&B and we wish you all the best.

My time at Windborne B & B was more than memorable!! This was quite an experience for me, from the warm and friendly welcome, to the good bye at the end of my stay.

We enjoyed the friendly, family atmosphere - so much more personal than a hotel. This was our first B&B experience and it was wonderful.

Peter and Suzy Carpanzano

I was most inspired by the fact that Marc and Mirja acted upon a dream they had which involved planning, designing and participating in the actual building processes of this B & B from the ground up, including the beautiful landscaping that surrounds this majestic and peaceful establishment. It is quite easy to see that the work they have done is totally geared to satisfy each and every client, as they have something for everyone!

It was fascinating and uplifting conversation, as I learned about their hobbies and interests. Seldom have I come upon such interesting people and I admire their talents and abilities to live their dreams!!

I not only had a pampered stay at the Windborne B & B, I also made 2 sensational new friends!!

Thank you so much Marc and Mirja for your hospitality while I stayed at at your fabulous retreat!!

We enjoyed the company, the house, the incredible bed and the shower.

You're in the big league now!

We felt like we were in a high-end hotel yet a casual atmosphere.

It was our first time at a B&B and we felt like we were visiting family.
