David and Brenda showed up from Vancouver, BC on their tandem recumbent bike just in time for dinner! I made Spinach-Stuffed Chicken breasts. We finished off with a lovely cheese platter they brought to the potluck.

Victoria:
"I don't feel my life would be complete if I had not met Sharmagne. She is such a gracious hostess and SO CHARISMATIC!! I love her!! Other guests were there as well and she is talented in respecting all diverse needs of her guests. I was sad that my stay was only one night. The tipi is a great visit and so were the rooms.

Ben Said:

"The brown hackle lodge is a rustic lodge set on a peaceful beautiful river, the lodge is Native American themed and very comfortable, Sharmagne is a wonderful host and is fun to visit with, she makes you feel like family"

"Sharmagne's house became a home away from home for us— an oasis in the middle of a long road trip. She provided a clean, and caring environment, complete with a comfy and cozy bed, fresh mint tea, absolutely delicious breakfast, and patient enthusiasm in tending to our needs and requests. We are so grateful for our stay here and cannot recommend her lodge highly enough." RamDass
