As I was opening the mail recently, there were two nicely handwritten envelopes, which stand out among the bills as I’m sure you all can imagine. Upon opening them, I was floored that there were two thank you notes from guests who were here during our last week of the winter season. How many times have you written a thank you note to a vacation destination? I know I have never done that!
Actually, this happens here more often than you would imagine. It’s pretty humbling, and always a highlight of our day to get a note from guests who enjoyed their stay at the ranch. These two notes were from guests who were both here during our final week of the winter season. One was a family with older children who we enjoyed getting to know as much as we enjoyed watching them share special moments together–fleeting as the kids head to college next year. The other note was from a couple who were here on their honeymoon. Both very important events to commemorate with a special vacation, and we were thrilled to be their destination of choice!
So, this is a thank you to all of you who send thank you’s to us! You have no idea how much that means to all of us, and how unexpected it is for us to receive these notes. We work hard to make everyone’s experience at Vista Verde really special, and when we get a note, or someone writes a review on Tripadvisor or other sites to help promote the ranch, it means all our hard work made a difference for our guests.
We are lucky to have wonderful guests spend time with us when they choose VVR for their ranch vacation! We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones this summer.
