An Attention To Detail
Certainly, one of the many favorable comments we hear most frequently about the Tree Frog Night Inn is an appreciation for the attention to detail. People express their sense that all the little niceties have been thought of and taken care of in an attempt to make our guests’ stays as comfortable and pleasurable as possible. This has been a team effort from the start and we were greatly aided by many thoughtful comments and suggestions from early guests. However, this attention to detail is something we value in all aspects of life and an invaluable aid in how we care for our land and our structures and in how we relate to and care for our guests, community, employees, suppliers, and each other. Little details matter in all things.
