Q: We plan to come to the area
for our honeymoon. Why would I stay at
Abide With Me?

and the cabin has also been host to at least one

our guest comments for
some feedback from those who have spent their
honeymoon at Abide With Me.
-

-
Q: We stayed at Abide With Me (it is a
wonderful place) and wanted to leave some comments
in the guestbook, but we didn't see one. How
come?
A: You can leave your comments using our
Contact Us form. Our
management company discourages a guestbook since
they cannot control the language and/or the
comments. We tend to agree with them since we
want Abide With Me to be family friendly in
all respects.
