| "My two week vacation is almost up – too soon the time has gone. Staying at the Ajijic Guest House has been a great treat – and a great intro to Ajijic. I’ve felt at ease and welcomed here ever since arriving. Gary the owner of the house greeted me at the door with the keys and has since proven to be a gracious host – giving lots of helpful info. The location is perfect – just a block from Lake Chapala and around the block from galleries and shops. Having access to my computer was a nice surprise. I’ve enjoyed lounging in the “solarium”, library and taking sun naps on the patio. The lovely interiors of Mexican tile and rich colors and plants make for a relaxing ambiance. To sum it all up – this is a great place to stay - lovely surroundings, convenient location at a reasonable price. Gary’s rental guest house is tops. " | |

| "Dear Gary, It doesn’t seem possible my two week vacation is over tomorrow. You have been such a great host and the time has flown. Sharing your time while I had coffee was the best! You kept me entertained and laughing which is the best way to start the day. The house was so enjoyable and you certainly provided everything a vacationing person could desire - information, suggestions, and thoughtfulness, as well as considerations, which left nothing to be desired. I hope you find the peace you are searching for. Thank you Gary. You can come to my house in sparks anytime - the door will always be open. To you and yours, Mother Tucker." | |

| "Hi Gary, It was good to hear from you - we just want to say too how much we enjoyed staying at your beautiful Guest House. You were the best of hosts and made us feel very much at home. We had such a good time in Ajijic and each day brought us new experiences. It was great. We are thinking of you in the warm sunshine while we are surround by a new snowfall and the temperatures dipped to -33 degrees Celsius last night. Thanks again for all you did for us. We wish you success in all your endeavours. Please get in touch if you are ever up our way." | |

| "Gary I thank you so much for all your help and for making our trip so enjoyable. Your smiling face when we arrived the first time, truly put us at ease. Thank you for turning us on to Luis the guide. We fell in love with him. We just felt so at home in your guest house and that 5 star hotel in San Miguel does not compare to the warmth and peace of your guest house. We wish you luck in everything you do." | |

| "My partner Tanya and I were lucky and glad to book our stay at the Ajijic Guest House last month. Ajijic is a great small town on Lake Chapala, and Gary's rental house is within walking distant of all the wonderful restaurants and stores in downtown Ajijic, yet you couldn't ask for a nicer, quiet, relaxing inn to enjoy. Gary was a fountain of info, being there for years. Tanya and I are looking foward to spending more time In Ajijic next month.Thanks, Gary for all your help and Tanya and I really miss your hospitality." | |

| "This past December we stayed at Gary's guest house for ten wonderful days the facilities were wonderful. The Guest House is located in the centre which is great for your initial exploring. We came to Ajijic to get the feel of the town and surrounding areas with the idea of retiring there one day. The town it self is beautiful it's like an artist community. And the streets are very safe to travel night or day. Many times we asked Gary's advice on restaurants and we found his advice was correct and we always found the food great. It was wonderful talking to him as he had a great dry sense of humor, Good luck Gary on any other adventures you may go on. " | |

| "For the past eight years, we've spent several months a year traveling around Mexico from our home base in Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo. Never have we stayed anywhere that was more enjoyable than Gary's comfy, charming, well-appointed guest house. You can pay a whole lot more elsewhere if you like...but you won't get service that tops what's offered here. Checking e-mails at the crack of dawn, biking to Chapala, and getting tips on hiking trails were all extras. We LOVED it!! " | |

| "Gary Thank you for your hospitality and attention to details. We will also be mentioning your place in our Tripadvisors submitted comments on Ajijic. An intimate charming place in Ajijic to stay is the Ajijic Guesthouse. Gary the owner was attentive to our needs helping make our stay even more enjoyable . The guest house has everything we would want for a 'home away from home' with complimentary highspeed internet and located within close walking distance of good selection of restaurants, the town square, massages and even a 24-hour pharmacy baked their own pastries round the clock. Definitely a place we will return to when visiting Ajijic in the future. " | |

|
| "Gary, I do want to thank you so very much for all you did for us. Sending taxi's to pick us up, advising on places to eat, helping us with our local and cross country bus rides, and arranging our B&B at Barra de Navidad was above and beyond anything you had to do and we really, really appreciated it. Your lodgings were exceptional and your hospitality was unbeatable. I cannot say enough to express our thanks for all you did for us. We are already planning next year's vacation, a week at Ajijic (hopefully at your guest house) and then we want to spend 3 weeks at Melaque or Barra de Navidad.. Keep in touch" | |

| "Gary Thanks for the enjoyable stays. I forgot to write the first time. I believe this is the best guest house in Mexico. The house itself is just beautiful. You did a wonderful job on the remodel. I love the top floor patio and the library. The location is perfect, one block from the lake and 2 1/2 from the main plaza. You are a great host. Best of luck to you." | |

| "I have stayed in many houses in Ajijic (5). Gary?s is far and away the best- If rating I would say the home was ready when we checked in. The rooms were commodious and the mattress was very comfortable. There was a light for bed side reading and a control to turn off the overhead light when I was settled in bed. The remote controlled fan was a surprising touch. I was unable to use the Jacuzzi (handicapped) but there was plenty of hot water for showers and many towels. Rooms and house were very clean. The best for last GARY was a friendly, organized host. I'm coming back." | |
--Nyda Brown, Atlanta, Georgia |
|
| "Joann and I are down from Alaska, so anything in addition to having temps above freezing is a plus, but when the ?hospitality with depth and sincerity? which Gary shows is added, it makes fro a wonderful stay. As I've said, from 1ft thick raw blubber of whales to fried perch skins, the contrasts we absorb are profound! Ajijic Guest House has been a wonderful stay for us!" | |
--Joe & Jo, Knik, Alaska |
|
| "Gary, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful guest house. The atmosphere was so homey and we felt right at home. I know that we will certainly be back and we wouldn't stay anywhere else. Again the accommodations were wonderful." | |

It has been a real pleasure to get to know you and Bruce has enjoyed his many conversations with you and will always remember-I?m sure- his hike with you to the chapel on the mountain. Thank You. Sincerely," | |

--Joan & Bob Schwab, Washington, DC |
|
| "Ed and I loved staying here. The village is quaint and the guest house is located near the lake and right in the midst of the best art and jewelry shops in the area. All in all I can't think of a nicer place to stay. We hope to come back soon." | |
--Mary Carden and Ed Stevens, Gainesville, Georgia |
|
| "Gary, After spending only a few days at Ajijic Guest House, I knew I had made the best possible choice insofar as I began to suspect any subsequent alternative would be experienced as a distinct let-down. Ajijic Guest House's numerous colorful tiles, arches, statuary and artistic touches, redolent of authentic age-old Mexican traditions, serve to combine with the utmost in contemporary comforts to insure a salutary experience. I have already begun to recommend Ajijic Guest House to all friends and relatives who plan on visiting. Thanks for your hospitality Gary, and for helping enable me to begin to experience Ajijic in the best possible light." | |
