Dear Lloyd and Alice,  Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.  When we were 'stranded' in West Yellowstone on snowmobiles, you were so flexible to let us stay here Friday night instead of Thurs!  The O.J. in the hot tub was a great touch.  If we are back in the area, I'm sure we'll be staying here.  It was a wonderful experience!  Ted & Cherie

February 16, 1998

January 2, 1998

Lloyd and Alice:  Thanks so much for all your warm hospitality.  What a great place to come and stay.  We slept so good in that great room and I (Janet) enjoyed being able to sleep late.  It was great coming to a place where we could totally relax and go back home and feel like we could face all the business of life again.  And super tour guides.  It was great getting off the main roads and seeing things we would have missed.  And who could forget traveling in the snow on Sunday.  Will always remember the meal at the 'Livery Stable'.  Sometime when you are in the area, take a picture of that place for us.  Fun eating with the cowboys.  Good luck with the puzzle.  Wish I could have finished it with you.  Now it will be fun to talk to you on the phone and picture you in your home.  In summing this all up, thanks for everything.  You are truly great friends and thanks for all the memories.  Alice, hope your health will improve as time goes on.  John and Janet (Nebraska)

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!  Our family came to Bozeman for a very special event in our lives, our oldest daughter's wedding!  She was married to a wonderful man on December 20th in the First Presbyterian Church in Bozeman and the reception was held at the Gallatin Gateway Inn.  That's the main reason we chose this B&B because of the convenience of it.  I have been here since December 9th and my husband and other daughter since December 17.  Alice and Lloyd have been so gracious that we have felt like we were in our own home.  We have been here so long we feel like we have made 2 great new friends.  We are sad to leave and hope we get back soon.  Dan, Trish and Sammi  (Tennessee)

November 23, 1997

We feel very pleased to have had the opportunity to be in your home this weekend.  It was a pleasant mixture of having been cared for thoughtfully while being allowed our privacy.  I look forward to another stay the next time I am in Bozeman.  Richard & Jan  (Oregon & Montana)
