Cheryl is an incredibly creative and professional woman. I had the pleasure of working closely with Cheryl when she commissioned me to compose music for, and produce a voice-guided health/healing CD. Throughout the duration of the project, Cheryl was very organized with her materials, well rehearsed and prepared for recording sessions and made my job so much easier thanks to her gift of communication. She did a great job of conveying her intended outcome. You will enjoy the CD!

Cheryl is a highly personable and knowledgeable person. She has a magnetic personality and her creativity and excellent work ethic shine through in all her endeavours. Her Reiki and Meditation workshops were very informative and her new Meditation CD is definitely worth purchasing!!

Cheryl & Dino are two of the most genuine and talented people I have ever met. The diversity of their skills combined with the respect and passion they hold for "All of Life" make them the type of people you aspire to be. Their wisdom is displayed in the humblest of ways allowing their clients to recognize in themselves, their own inner potential, creativity and truths. I have worked direclty with Cheryl as a collegue and business partner, and as well having attended several workshops she has facilitated. Cheryl is an extremely organized, detail-oriented leader/manager/planner who gets every job done in a timely, professional manner. She possesses an intuitive wisdom that not only works for her on paper, but extends itself empathically towards all people she comes in contact with. Her ability to discern the needs of others is a rare trait that gains respect from both her collegues and her personal friends. I would say that Cheryl is a rare gem, someone whose talents outshine, someone who is both easy to be with and to work with.

We have been going to the Che-Di Inn since 2006. The location sits on the edge of wilderness and calm surroundings. The Hosts have made us feel as friends, and we meet there the most interesting people time and again. In our case, we met at this B&B and eventually became a couple. This B&B is exceptionally clean, and the Breakfasts are mouthwatering! The massages and Reiki offered through their periphereal company, Here and Now Health Services, are unbelievable too! Great Hosts Cheryl and Dino are !

We spent many relaxing yet inspiring holidays at Che-Di Inn since 2004 and we always received royal treatment. After we would make our appearance from our large and comfortable king bed quarters, we would enjoy the special breakfast including Cheryl's granola yogurt and Dino's latte. Whether we were spending our time sunbathing on Awenda's beautiful beaches or walking through the forest or simply enjoying peace and tranquility of the surroundings, it is Cheryl and Dino, two loving and passionate people, that always made our stay special.

One of the most welcoming and charming B& B we've ever stayed in. We genuinely felt we were staying with friends who extended every kindness and courtesy of their home, whilst we still had all the comforts and privacy of an excellent B & B. Our kids love coming here and experiencing the great outdoors. The experience has been so wonderful that we have come back every year since 2004. It's been our yearly escape to a truly beautiful place in Georgian Bay, great town of Penetang with the help of two kind and loving people, Cheryl and Dino.

I have been staying regularly at Che-Di Inn since its inception in 2003! Cheryl and Dino are the most intuitive hosts and seem to know when you need time to relax or when you might benefit from a walk on the beach at Awenda, a night out at Kings Wharf Theatre, singing on kareoke night, a personal fitness assesment, yoga on the beach, an exercise class, a hot stone massage from Dino or a Reiki treatment from Cheryl!! All of these activities are either on site or within 15 min drive! I eat healthier at Che-Di Inn than I do at home and the serenity of the surroundings is always a well needed break from my daily routines. I regret the day when it's time to leave their little home away from home, but I always leave Che-Di Inn with an indescribable feeling of calmness and inner peace. Thank you Cheryl and Dino for sharing your space and opening your hearts to make each visit such a memorable one!!

We started coming here in 2005 and it has since become our home away from home. Cozy bedrooms with beautiful views, peace and quiet, and fresh air will help you feel well rested in the morning. Wake up hungry and indulge in Cheryl's delicious one-of-a-kind breakfasts before you explore Farlain Lake by foot or on bike. Maybe hit the Awenda wood trails or beaches, or re-energize yourself with a reiki or hot stone massage. You just can't go wrong, whatever you pick; you're sure to come back, year after year.

My boyfriend took me to the Che-Di Inn for my 26th birthday and it was the perfect weekend getaway. As part of present, he got me a hot stone massage and all I can say is "Wow!" It was so relaxing and was a great way to start off the weekend. I definitely recommend it! Cheryl and Dino make you feel at home in this beautiful B & B. The breakfast was incredible! Thank you so much for a much needed relaxing evening! See you again soon!

You are the gifts in a pilgrimmage. Mine and others! Thank you.
- Dennis, from Toronto, August 15, 2007
Guesting with you is less about being a guest and more about coming home to family. The proof of this is that while away from you I think of all I want to share with you, but once I am here it is really just being here that counts. What is not said, the quiet times are as important as whatever it was I thought I needed to talk with you about. This is very much a 'now' place. The image I will take away from this visit is watching you both quietly sitting and watching the birds at your feeders - mindful living, peaceful living, soulful living. Thank you for that!
- Michel, from Montreal, Good Friday, 2007
Cheryl and Dino: Thank you so much for opening your home and hearts for our yoga weekend. You are both very gracious hosts and I will always remember my time spent here. I experienced tears, laughs, quiet, and comfortable moments ... all that I needed. I'll always remember the delicious meals you both prepared with "love," and remember this is coming from a very picky eater! You have something very special in Che-Di Inn. God Bless you both."

It was my third visit with a different crowd. Each time it is a different experience but always soul enriching. My husband was very happy and wants a revisit. He felt he was at home because of your warm and genuine hospitality.
- Lamya, from Toronto, via Oman! August 18, 2006
Never before have I experienced peace, love, unity, and respect in such abundance all at once! Thank you for having me in your home, and for creating a personal retreat weekend experience for me. Love and Light to you both!

You followed the song in your heart, and created a haven for one's soul. Namaste.

Had a wonderful girls' weekend, and went home with a new appreciation for meditation and yoga. Thank You.
- Dawn, from Innisfil, Feb. 27, 2004
It's always a rare and precious wonder to share the home of others, and to feel completely at home, at ease, able to flow at the pace you need to restore and rejuvenate yourself. Thanks for the space, the quiet, the calm, and the conversation, and as always, the laughter.
