What our visitors say
"We booked a place in Bristol for a week long getaway. Took two 13 year old boys tubing with Mendota. They were excellent! We lost GPS on the way so we were about 20 min late for our reservation. The owner was gracious with us, which I appreciated. Highly recommend! We had a great time!"
