We really enjoyed our stay at Crystal Key Inn. It's a beautiful place to stay with a homey touch. The breakfasts were delicious with attention to detail and careful consideration of our personal preferences, and there were 10 of us! I'm looking forward to our next stay with you in Newman Grove! Thank you! Beth

Wonderful Weekend

What a wonderful weekend for a quilting retreat! Diane and Earl made us feel right at home. This is a very peaceful and quiet setting to enjoy the small town atmosphere. The accomadations were very comfortable and the meals were delicious!!! It was great to get away from the hussle and bussle of home and enjoy our favorite hobby! The claw foot tub was a great way to relax and soothe away the tension for the weekend. We will be back again.
