FROM OUR CLIENTS
Nice words that
have been said about us
White Glove Family Vacation
Patty and team helped us with another amazing vacation. This time we went to
Breckenridge Colorado, and had a wonderful time due mainly to the organization and
preparation provided by Patty and her team. Our family experienced white glove
service with the ski in ski out property that Patty reserved for us. She also arranged for
ski and snowboard equipment rentals and lessons that were the hit of the vacation. I
am so happy to work with Patty who serves our family like she was a family member. I
strongly recommend Patty and her team for anyone wishing to have a top shelf
vacation experience.
