Louise Machinski

Since starting my Bed and Breakfast I've enjoyed meeting so many people from all over North America plus a few from Europe.

Louise Machinski
BridgeView Bed & Breakfast

Thank you so very much Louise for taking me in at the last moment. It has been a great experience for me as I have never stayed in a Bed and Breakfast before. The breakfast was really grand and the “company” was “really good”. Thanks again, Louise. Take care.

Sincerely Barb Harpley

This was one of the best hunting lodges that I have had the pleasure of visiting. I know you are a B&B and not a lodge, but nontheless, the food and fun was great. Based on your chili, I am appointing you and official citizen of Texas! You have a great place and your humor makes it all the better. Good luck to you always.

Robert B Carvell
Hockley Texas - Oct 2009

Thanks for making our stay a real pleasure. Your Chili was above average even by Texas Standards.

How could I possibly say thank you?? Besides being a wonderful host, you showed me the town and helped me immensely when my seaplane broke down. As far as I am concerned, we have formed a new friendship! You are always welcome at our place either at Lead Rapids cabin or in our waterfront home in Orlando. Thanks for selling me the TV. Please plan to go to Leaf Rapids with your snow machine sometime soon! You are always welcome there at our cabin or at our FL home!
