It all began when I decided to prepare a formal dinner for eight to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday, during ‘23 Memorial Day weekend. As a surprise, I invited friends from NJ to join us.
I’d never planned such an event, so naturally I was nervous. I was concerned if I'd have sufficient culinary accoutrements. I recalled I had the owner's contact information, so, I called to ask about the items in question, and introduce myself.
Renee was pleasant - at first. She assured me everything should be there but wasn't 100% positive. So, I told her I'd just pick up what I needed – just in case. She was insistent that I not, and that she would get those items and leave them for us.
I also inquired of a local bakery where I could order a nice birthday cake, of which she offered two local options. She even offered to pick it up for me. I was grateful, but too much was riding on this to place such a huge responsibility on someone I'd never met, nor worked with before. I graciously accepted, initially, but later changed my mind and took care of that detail myself.
I'm so glad I did. I'll get back to that in a bit.
Our friends had arrived prior and called to let me know they'd decorated with some balloons. When we arrived, Kay was overwhelmed with joy at the scene they'd prepared for her.
We were shocked at the conditions inside. The interior photos neglected to tell the truth about the rooms. They were far more spacious and comfortable. We were expecting a rustic, mountain retreat, instead everything was modern and user-friendly. The bar and kitchen were stocked with multiples of everything I needed. There were board games, table games, puzzles, and super comfortable couches to lounge on.
I was really shocked to see the state of the refrigerator! Renee had also placed freshly cut wildflowers to be presented to Kay for her birthday.
So, now I see why this is such an under-rated destination, and if you’re lucky enough to Book there, you will discover it for yourselves too.
The Bible says when a farmer finds a treasure in his field, he quickly reburies it to ensure it's not discovered. Not one person, including myself, wants to recommend this place to anyone, because who wants to share these kinds of treasures? The kind you’re saving for your family and special friends who need to escape the frustrations of life.
So, book your dates today – except for the Memorial Day weekend 2024.
That’s ours!
Yours Sincerely – A. David & Kay V. Griffin
