"I visited Deetjens twice in the early 70's and can vividly
recall the warmth and generosity of this special place. The book embodies the personal and collective sentiment of
what Grandpa Deetjen would have desired his guests to
experience. That is, honest work, craftsmanship, and the gift of hospitality. Anita Alan has captured the memories of those who gave their years of service to guests seeking
tranquility, peace, and self-exploration and in doing so
contributed to the mystery and uniqueness of the inn itself.
Upon visiting Deetjens one must drink her wine, listen to her music, then read Anita's work while near the fireside or
under a towering redwood."
