Ursula and Glenn,
Thank you for a great three-night
stay! The room was great, and the breakfasts substantial and
delicious. We enjoyed the fireplace and the big tub - and one thing
we never experienced at any other B&B was having our room tidied up
and fresh towels provided while we were out! Thanks, too, for you
TLC and compassion when I was a bit under the weather. You went
"above and beyond" you role as hosts!

Dear Glenn and Ursula,
You have such a beautiful home and
we really enjoyed our stay in the "Cat's Meow". Thank you so much
for your warm hospitality and delicious food. We have stayed in
other B&B's, but yours, by far, is the best! We enjoyed the peaceful
surroundings, meeting new people and all of the good conversations
with you both. You certainly know how to make your guests
comfortable and you are perfect hosts.
With blessings to you both,

We have so enjoyed our relaxing stay
in this charming and cozy cabin! So many thoughtful touches are in
each nook and cranny - from magazines to gameboards, lap blankets
and even bubble bath! Your lush gardens beckoned to us to stroll
through them. Each day we discovered something new. And, your black
kitty's curiosity and stalking of the fish made us chuckle. Your
breakfasts each day were simply delicious and we enjoyed getting to
know you both. Thank you for opening your home to us - we feel
blessed that you shared it with us.
Best regards,

Dear Glenn and Ursula,
Thank you for your beautiful cabin
and all the details you have provided for ...just in case we might
want them. This is the best honeymoon location that I can imagine.
Your home-cooked breakfasts were outstanding, and we love your pool,
landscaping and home. Having grown up in the countryside I
especially loved the rustic cabin details. My husband definitely
knows good taste when he sees it! Our first honeymoon nights here
were a surprise for me and he has been anticipating it for half a
year now. I could not be happier with our accommodations. We plan to
be back for anniversaries and look forward to recommending your
place to others. Thank you so much!!

One special day in both of our lives
has been captured and will always remain at the Old Marshall House.
I can't think of a more special place I could have arranged for
Missie to celebrate her 40th birthday. You both have done an
incredible job making this a retreat for the human soul. I didn't
want to leave a note stating basically the same things others have
left behind so I will just say this.....The Old Marshall House
displayed in array, makes for a special place to spend a day...It
holds, in all its history and love, relaxation and peace from
above...It feels like home and is a place to rest and out of all the
places we've been this is the best !!!...The innkeepers enhance the
personality here, with all the beauty to surround you and bring you
cheer...We will always have June 16th to store in our minds...The
Old Marshall House is the greatest find...God Bless you Ursula and
Glenn! Thanks for everything.

What a wonderful place to rest and

- and so are the views. Breakfast was delectable, and our hosts knew
just how to make us feel pampered. To sum it all up in one word:
Perfect!

Dear Glenn and Ursula,
Thank you for helping us to make
more special B&B memories. The Victorian Room is lovely (loved the
tub) and the breakfasts were so delicious. Most importantly, we
really enjoyed talking with the two of you. It was fun to have you
join us for breakfast. It was really great to have two couples with
the same wedding date here at the same time (5/16 and 26 years) God
bless you.

Meeting you and staying in your
Cat's Meow Cabin was more of a blessing than ever expected . It was
a very special aspect of this trip to attend George Jones'
University. I leave in awe of how well you use your gift of
hospitality! Thank you for all you do to make guests feel at home. I
also leave in awe of your care for this property. Both the inside
and outside are very inspiring and are a testament to you hard
working, dedicated people. I am so impressed with your ability to
update the cabin and retain its historic charm. You are very gifted
and I am thankful that God blessed you and entrusted you to be the
stewards of the old Marshall property. Also, thank you for the
wonderful breakfasts. You were so nice making them early so we could
get to our classes on time. You both were such a blessing to me. May
our Lord continue to bless you.

Glenn and Ursula,
You have created a lovely retreat from the busy, busy world out
there. I come to Nashville on business and was lucky to have found
your B & B listed on the Internet. What a pleasant surprise to see
how secluded- yet within and easy drive to anywhere- and peaceful
the Old Marshall House is. As I often travel alone, where I stay is
important. With your extremely interesting backgrounds and relaxed,
natural way of living, you both have made my stay stress-free. The
breakfast conversations with you and the guests will remain as
beautiful memories. The breakfast food - fabulous - can't pick a
favorite. Loved having Emma's Room with its soothing views of the
countryside. No cars! No noise! And for entertainment - appearing at
all times and in different places - five cats in beautiful
variations of black and white and each with a unique
personality. May you both enjoy many more years of happiness
together and of sharing your home with others. Happy Thanksgiving!

loved your terrific breakfasts. Your attention to detail was greatly
appreciated (TVs in room, wine glasses, ice buckets, fireplace, fan,
great comfortable bed, snacks, water and soft drinks). Our

It's hard to leave these beautiful surroundings and best old house
we've ever stayed in! We've been at B & B's all over the U.S and yours
was everything a B & B should be! Real people, great conversation, a
gracious host family (and extra treat - granddaughters visiting!),
scrumptious food, beautiful gardens, quiet in the country, kitties
greeting us and the most wonderful room in the house! Thank You! We
loved our huge, comfortable bed and bath and the "aura" we felt the
minute we walked in. Thank you for your guidance and directions around
the area and for your warmth and hospitality and genuineness. God
Bless and may you enjoy many more years and success here! We hope to
return!

I could go on about the comfortable bed and the 8 1/2 hours of
great sleep, or the sweet chocolates and fun tub. But the best thing

slept with so much quiet. You have a very special haven and I thank

To Ursula and Glenn,
I tried to think of what to write to let the both of you know, as
I'm sure that you already do, how special this little cabin is to
visit. We left a very hustle and bustle sort of life in St. Louis and
arrived here to things that were much more simple here. We enjoyed
almost every minute of our stay...the only
moments of our stay that we didn't enjoy were our last few as we were
about to leave and go back to our busy lives! Breakfast
was great and the company even better! Thank you both for
everything!

it was my husband's birthday, and we
have a 5-month old baby girl. I thought this would be a well needed
birthday present for him. I soon found out
it was a well needed getaway for myself as well. This is the most
relaxed we've felt since we had our daughter.
Everything we needed was all here! The tub is perfect!. We also
enjoyed very much our breakfast and talk about the old house and how
you did everything in the yard. The stream beside the cabin is so
perfect I can't even tell you how relaxing it is to hear.
Thank you so much for everything. We felt like staying with
family!!! (without the stress of family, hee, hee!).

Ursula and Glenn,
Words cannot describe the pleasure we
have experienced in staying with you at your lovely home. The cabin is
perfect - peaceful and private. We fell in love with it the moment we
saw it. It was lovely to sit on the back porch and play our guitars and
sing. We look forward to a "campfire concert" when we come again soon!!
Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.

Dear Ursula and Glenn,
Thank you so very much for sharing your
home and the Cat's Meow with us. We truly enjoyed the peacefulness and
tranquility we both needed at this time in our lives. We are grateful

wonderful - thank you for sharing your recipes. May God Bless and Keep
You Both!

Dear Ursula and Glenn,
We so enjoyed our time in your charming
cabin! You have obviously put much time and effort in your lovely home
and grounds, and we have been fortunate to experience the peace and
tranquility that abound here. And breakfast was delicious, and the
conversation enjoyable. What a treasure this place is! Thanks again -

Ursula and Glenn, I don't know how Chuck
found this B&B, but I am glad he did. It was such a wonderful surprise
to get to spend a few days relaxing with my husband away from the jobs,
kids and dog. What a great way to celebrate our 7th anniversary.

Dear Glenn and Ursula,
What a wonderful home. The two of you
have worked very hard and made this into a wonderful place for many
people to relax and enjoy all of its surroundings. It is always fun to
hang out with the two of you. Your friends are great. This is the kind
of place that poets, artists and singers dream to write and paint about.
Thanks again.
With our love,

A life time of loving each other has
taken us many places: soaring high above the Grand Canyon, climbing deep
in the rocks of Zion, relaxing in the fields of the mid-west. Our best
discovery yet is what we learned of ourselves here at your little piece
of heaven. Of all the places we've been,
this place is extra special. I wanted the weekend to be extra special,
and no doubt this will be a treasured memory. Thanks for sharing your
home. Everything was wonderful!

Ursula and Glenn,
Wow! What a great 43rd anniversary.
Loved the Victorian Room, the comfortable bed, the tub and what a great
breakfast. We could never forget the great hospitality, the interesting
talks, the feeling of your love. What a peaceful place with all the
beauty. Loved the cats. What a beauty from all your hard work. We cannot
say enough thanks for making us feel so welcome. May God Bless You Both!
Love,

We think the name of the cabin is
perfect - because it truly is "The Cat's Meow"! Thank you for sharing
your wonderful cabin with us and for helping make our 30th anniversary
so special. The breakfasts were delicious, and we so enjoyed the
wonderful conversations at the breakfast table. Thanks for making us
feel so at home. May God continue to bless you both.

Dear Glenn and Ursula,
We both had to drop you a note to thank
you for the wonderful experience at the Old Marshall House in February
of this year. We really felt right at home there. Your gracious
hospitality made us feel as though we were visiting friends. Whenever
Paula and I travel we stay at B & B's, and yours will always be
remembered as the best. You will be highly recommended, and we will be
back for sure. Until then - thanks again.

Dear Ursula and Glenn,
Thank you both for your warm, hospitable
welcome. Your home is beautiful. The breakfasts were unbelievably
delicious, the Victorian Room very romantic, the tub great fun. This
time we have had has allowed us some alone time in our busy lives and
long distance love affair. The cats helped make it all cozy. We both
would love to come back.

Dear Glenn and Ursula,
thank you for being such wonderful
custodians of what will always -in my heart - be "Papa's House". I could
not have found in all the world two people who love this place like
family - and you will always be FAMILY to all the Marshall descendants.
Thank you for caring so much and for giving me the best gift for my 80th
birthday - of making it possible to once again stay in my grandfather's
house.

How blessed we are to have a week in the

fire inside. This is one of those special places that we will always
hold dear...
Great hosts, great food and time to
relax.

Glenn and Ursula, it was great fun to be able to drive past the Comfort Inn
to surprise Kyle with this wonderful mini getaway. We felt so comfortable the
moment we stepped in the cabin. Next time, we hope to stay for a few days to
truly settle in and relax. We'll rave about the hospitality and delicious
breakfast to one and all. Thank you!

September 5, 2004 Dear Ursula and Glenn, thank you for sharing your haven
with us so that we could celebrate 15 years of marriage. (I think we plan to
make this a tradition). Your hospitality and attention to the details have
served to make this a getaway even though we're 20 minutes from home. Your
peaceful contentment is contagious and I pray that we can leave here and "pay it
forward". Thanks! Thad and Tina Caldwell/Nashville,TN

Dear Ursula and Glenn, we are so lucky to have found you! Your home is so
warm and we loved the conversations. The Victorian Room is so comfy and I can't
wait to come back and try the Marshall Room. We would love to come back and
spend 3-4 days here- relaxing, reading and enjoying the beauty you have helped
create! Breakfast - oh my gosh! I know I won't eat for days. Thank you for

Glenn and Ursula - Dear friends, we have certainly enjoyed our time with you!
It's the ideal - a country feeling, but near enough to activities, food,
Nashville (if one desires). We would prefer to sit in the swing , etc. and chat
with the two of you and the other pleasant guests. I know you both work hard to
make it seem easy! It's appreciated. But anyway, we have had a wonderful visit
and will return. Paul says this has become his favorite place! Best wishes until
we see you again.

hospitality were second to none. I could sit and eat and talk all day. You
always come up with something innovative and incredibly delicious for breakfast.
You are great hosts and good friends and we love coming here. I am sure we will
be back for future anniversaries. Love and thanks,

appreciated. Ursula, your hospitality was awesome. We felt so welcome. Thanks

great memories we are making here. This was a perfect way to celebrate our 5th
wedding anniversary, because this is where our marriage first began. You both
have done a terrific job with the landscaping. It is so peaceful out here! This
is a great place to escape the busy routine for a weekend and still have easy
access to the city. Thank you for being so kind to us. We will always recommend
others to your place, and of course, we'll be back again. Your fans,

ever had and we have stayed at B+B's all over the US including New York and
California. The breakfast was outstanding! And we loved the cabin - just perfect
for our overnight getaway. We want to come back and
stay longer. One of the best things about our experience was the people we met
at breakfast - so delightful and interesting...a real plus! You have done a
great job with your home - well kept, charming and inviting. Thanks again for a
memorable time. God bless you!

not stay in the Victorian Room, we have definitely found another favorite "room"
in the Cat's Meow Cabin! It is awesome! Everything was so great, even down to
the smallest detail. Thank you for the exceptional breakfast. We look forward to
visiting again soon, hopefully before our move to Kansas City. Thanks again!

Dear Ursula and Glenn, Thank you for helping Jim make our 25th wedding
anniversary celebration a most enchanting event! The cabin is and was a splendid
getaway - most romantic novel material. The breakfast was oh, so delicious! And
meeting the two of you has enriched our lives! You are special people. You are
so very gifted and talented. I see your special abilities in the house and
garden and cabin, too. Again, thanks for the cat's paws (footprints) you have
left in our hearts. The name "Cat's Meow" for the cabin was so very significant
for us personally and I thought Jimmy had named it himself until I saw the
brochure. I hope we see you again very soon. Sincerely,
Jim and Anita Hutchison
Tony, Alabama USA - November 18, 2002
We just got back from four days of Tennessee heaven at the Old Marshall
House. If you are viewing this guestbook, and looking for the
PERFECT B & B, you have found it! We stayed in the Cat's Meow, and found it
relaxing, comforting, and utterly charming. The scenery is breathtaking, and the
home and cabin are beautiful, cozy, and inviting. Glenn and Ursula will become
your friends, and spoil you with their care and hospitality. We celebrated our
one year anniversary here, and it couldn't have been more enjoyable! We will be
back every year! Thank You Glenn and Ursula! Also, thank you Pinucha ( she's a
little furry, kitty - friend we made, that greeted us with affection at every
turn! ). Stay at the Old Marshall House. You'll never forget it!

Our purpose was to "get away" and what a fantastic place to do so! We enjoyed
our visit to Nashville - truly a hospitable town - but the best part was staying
here. We just needed a place to relax and unwind - get away from the kids and
all that. We loved celebrating our 10th Anniversary here - so beautiful! Thanks
for the long 'history lesson' and all the chats. Breakfast was delicioso!
The room was wonderful and if we could figure out how to put the tub in the back
of our compact car, we'd do it. Well, off to the snowy North again. Thanks for
the memories.

Reading the comments of previous guests, we must say that we concur totally
that the house and your interest in your guests certainly combine to create a

ways.
