you for the Anniversary Package, it was very romantic. The Garden

our first experience in a bed and breakfast. May God bless you both
in your future endeavors. The Copper Rose was a special touch. I will
always treasure it!!" Kevin & Josephine, Webster, TX

had a great "first" time in Galveston, due in no small part
to y'all and the warmth of the Coppersmith-great place-Thanx for making
us feel at home---wonderful breakfast." Walt & Jeanette,
Hobbs, NM
"We will always remember our visit to the Coppersmith Inn and
Galveston. Our 5th anniversary has been a truly memorable experience
thanks to the both of you. Breakfast was great, room was wonderful,
and the romantic evening was second to none. Thank you for creating
such a wonderful memory." Katie & Robert, Huntington Beach,
CA
"Wish we could stay here in Galveston longer to enjoy more wonderful
sites and especially your warm and friendly hospitality. We've stayed
at quite a few bed and breakfasts over the years, but we must say
you that you have certainly made us feel more like family than the
others. The beauty and charm of your house and gardens cannot be surpassed.
You can be sure when we get this way again the Coppersmith Inn will
be the only place for us to stay. Last but not least, the breakfast
was soooo good! Thank you so much for everything, it was perfect."
