(Why People Choose to Return to Wakanda)
Your thoughtfulness and caring showed up in so many ways -- amazingly it seemed that you had thought of everything -- and then some!
The Owl Cabin is wonderful -- we hope to return! Thanks so much,
C&B - Chalfont, PA
Muchas gracias for natural magical inspired moments.

We just arrived back home and wanted to drop you both a line and let you know what a wonderful weekend we had at Loon Cabin and Rainbow Lake. We can't say enough about your hospitality and property! You made us feel so at home! Loon Cabin is such a wonderful place to stay...it's so secluded...you feel as though you're the only ones on the peninsula. It's beautiful on the inside and out! And, what a great collection of books and magazines for a rainy evening.
Yesterday we saw the otters, today we saw some loons. It was so hard leaving Wakanda today!
Again, thank you for introducing us to your beautiful paradise! We are looking forward to returning [next year].
T&P - Holley, NY
What a surprise and delight! We loved the quiet. We loved the simplicity. No phone, no cell phone or TV. Just fun and fellowship...
Thanks for the use of the boats and sending the loons to sing. It was all great!

We have had the most incredible 11 days here at Wakanda -- I hate to go back to life on the outside!
This cabin (Owl Cabin) is perfect and I urge you to sleep on the porch. It is so cozy bundled under the covers with the sounds of nature and the lake and woods around you.
We had the greatest thing happen on Saturday night September 7th -- we saw the Northern Lights! We sat out on the dock for over an hour and had a spectacular show of pink and blue shafts of light coming out of the sky.
...So many memories to take home with me. I can hardly wait until next year for more!
Thinking fondly of the Adirondacks, one of my favorite places on this earth,
P.H. - Gaithersburg, MD
This cabin is reminiscent of the one my grandfather built in Attica, NY. It feels like home, I love it.
So much care has gone into making it comfortable, right down to the coffee filters. It is great.
When I found Wakanda online, nothing else compared to it.
I was looking for something rustic and really started to feel like these places just didn't exist.
Owl Cabin. That is all I am saying. Owl Cabin... I wanted quiet. I got it. We have to come back here next year for our vacation when it's warmer -- I want to experience sleeping on the porch, too!
Noel and Susan's attention and care for detail is unreal... It's the little things that make me smile.
How intentional the placement of everything is, in the cabin and outside. How right it all feels.
I have not been this inspired to take pictures in a long time.
We just came back from kayaking - my first time! No one was on the water but us. It was awesome!
Another beautiful morning to sit out on the dock by myself and listen to songbirds and chipmunks...
I know that this book is probably for a list of names of people who stayed here, but I was too compelled to write more in depth about this wonderful place.
K.O. & J.H. - Buffalo, NY
Though I'm sure you've heard this many times before,
your hospitality and generosity during our stay here at Loon was unparalleled.
We had a great time in the cabin and out on Rainbow Lake.
Thanks for everything -- We know we'll be back.
E.P. & C.S. - Shaker Heights, OH
We love the Birch Cabin. We felt at home and very comfortable here. We're already planning for a trip back next year!
The M's & H's - Baltimore, MD
Enjoyed the beautiful drive to the cabins. We were all impressed by the apparent isolation of them.
Upon driving up to Owl we all immediately fell for the squat little cabin to be our home for the next 3 nights.
After walking in the love affair was complete -- the interior is beautiful.
Better than the pictures showed.
We spent our first night making s'mores over a bonfire overlooking the lake. It was amazing.
I enjoyed being able to let my kids wander, not only the property on their own, but in the case of the older kids, they explored the lake by kayak and had the best time.
Believe it or not we are most impressed how little our younger kids (4 &7) didn't fight or miss TV. This has truly been the most relaxing, beautiful and eye-opening vacation we have enjoyed.
My kids hope we will come back again next year.
Thanks for being gracious hosts and giving us the opportunity to experience the tranquility of your home and property.
The H's - Morristown, NJ
We can't thank you enough for the incredible week we had. Your hospitality and kindness far outreaches the call of duty. You have a lovely home and property on a beautiful lake and we will miss it dearly, especially around sunset.
Our experiences here at Rainbow Lake with you all and our fellow renters will be treasured forever.
We hope to see you all and come back real soon. Thank you again & God bless.
L, G, D, & D - Manchester, NJ
We've all had a great time here... The setting us just what we've looked for and I'm sure we'll make this an annual event... I'm not sure how it will feel to refill my head with all the day in & day out things that weigh us down...
Since our arrival the circuit boards have shut down and it has felt great!
We'll miss Wakanda but look forward to years of memories yet to unfold.
So, to those days I will look forward and not be sad.
Thank you all again,
The B's - Cazenovia, NY
Usually by the two or three days before the end of a vacation one is becoming restless to resume one's normal routine and return home. This, however, in not the case this time. I want to thank you for providing the opportunity for spending time in this magnificent setting and, of course, for your many kindnesses...I hope to see you soon.
Dan - North Bergen, NJ
Almost time to leave -- I will miss the peace and quiet here -- and all the wildlife and wild flowers. I will reflect back on these days and return again to gather myself and regroup. A much needed respite...Every day is a renewal of spirit.

We've had a wonderful time at Wakanda. Thanks for making us so comfortable and so welcome.
It's been a pleasure getting to know you a little.
We're going to really miss the crisp mountain air and the delicious smell of woodsmoke.

Just a quick note to thank you for your wonderful hospitality at this great place of peace called Wakanda!
We will look forward to seeing you again!
H&G - West Oneonta, NY
Loon Cabin is perfection; and Wakanda certainly is a healing retreat. [We] had a wonderful week... The sights, sounds and smells are such a thrill. The simplicity here is a rare gift. I have been so deeply moved by my time here.
I have been inspired by the beauty and simplicity and your gift of stewardship of this wonderful place.
Loon Cabin and the tip of Wakanda peninsula will live in my heart forever.
Sincere gratitude for this experience,
Cheryl
We had such a sweet time this year with you. The lake water was so great and so sweetly nourishing, cleansing, beautifying, the sleeping porch, the blueberries were so luscious, and the company was the same!
G. saw so many eagles, even that last morning.
K&G - Woodstock, NY
Hey, I wanted to thank you for your hospitality and guidance during our first time vacation in the Adirondacks.
... we had a blast!!!!!!
And we got to check off tons of stuff on our list of things to do- hike, paddle and bike.....
[Loon] cabin and cabin location were great (personally, it's the best location on the property)....
Your description of Rainbow Lake is very appropriate- it's an intimate lake... perfect.....
Next year, taller climbs (and this time I'll have plenty of film!)
J.N. - Hatboro, PA
We all very much enjoyed our stay in camp on Rainbow Lake - the trampoline was what my nephews enjoyed the most...
...or was it the fishing, the kayaking, the hiking or maybe the campfire with toasted marshmallows... now I'm not sure, they seemed to love it all!
B.B. - Scituate, MA
Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. It was really peaceful and relaxing.
Joy & Co. - NYC, France, etc.
Thank you for letting us jump on the trampoline, use your boats and use the stuff in the cabin.
We don't want to go because of the pleasure you have given us.
I hope the year goes fast so we can see you again soon!
J&P - Silver Springs, MD
Our first day out in the canoe we saw a pair of loons with 2 young ones in tow -- what a thrill! We'd only heard them last year. This year they put on several lovely concerts for us. We were also treated with an actively fishing osprey, several blue herons, and back up in the flow sun dews in bloom! I'm sure we saw an otter, too, on our way to Clear Pond.
Our hike up St. Regis Mt. tuckered us out, so our last day here we spent relaxing in the sun and by the campfire.
Wish we had more than a week here!
We had a wonderful stay in this very special spot.
L.P. - Delmar, NY
Thank you once again for your exquisite hospitality. Thank you for the divine weather, the useful directions, the off-beat humor, the dry clothes, the weather reports, the bonfires, use of the trampolines and boats. We enjoyed the new docks.
We take many fond memories with us. See you next year!
