No Room at the Inn!

July is usually just a warm-up month for what is to come our way in August … but it’s still only July and you can’t get “fuller than full”! We have been so delightedly overwhelmed by the great response to our website, my blogs and all of our guest’s wonderful Trip Advisor reviews, that “No Vacancy” has been the norm here at The Lodge pretty consistently. Earlier today we had only 3 rooms left for tomorrow night, and we advised someone on the phone that they should make their reservation quickly, as the rooms would not remain available for long. The prospective guest said she needed to call her husband first, and when she called back 5 minutes later to make her reservation, the room she had been considering had already been booked! Two rooms now remained, so she stayed on the line while she texted the new info to her hubby. Believe it or not, while she was doing it an online reservation came in for one of them, leaving her only one choice … which she booked immediately without waiting for her husband’s reply! To say that business has been booming here would be an understatement, and often parking spaces are at such a premium that those of us who work here usually have to park our cars off site to make room for our guests. After a couple of soft years economically, this is a very good ‘problem’ to have!! These days it takes three of us to work the front desk alone as the phone is ringing off the hook. We sold SIX Polar Express packages today alone … and they are going like hotcakes. If you are thinking of visiting us this summer, or planning to take a magical adventure on the Polar Express, don’t wait too long to book, as reservations for both are booking quickly.
