We Are Ready for the Holidays. Are You?

Tahoe and Inn by the Lake in particular are ready for your visit this Holiday Season. Are you one of the many who has delayed making travel arrangements? We forgive you! However, suggest you get with it and click on reservations or call our 800 number. Our holiday season rates remain unchanged from last year and special promotions are available, even during prime season. Availability is limited and diminishing with each passing day.

The first major storm of the season is coming tonight and forecasted over the next five days to greatly enhance ski conditions. Tahoe’s major ski resorts made presentations at yesterday’s Lodging Association meeting and are offering some of the best deals in memory. Collectively, they have spent millions during the off-season enhancing the visitor experience. Specifics may be accessed via their web sites. The Inn receives special reseller pricing on lift tickets from certain resorts. We will be passing on these full discounts to guests of Inn by the Lake. Ski resort links are available by clicking on Winter Fun & Games on our home page. Check out the web cams for real time conditions.

October and November were not very busy months for visitors to Tahoe. I don’t watch much TV but heard rumors about a difficult economy or something like that. We did have to economize but took special pains to reduce costs where it would not impact guests. We kept our maintenance staff at full strength and augmented our painting and heavy cleaning efforts with members of our housekeeping team. The end result is that Inn by the Lake has never looked better. You have to see it for yourself!

Our bowling center continues to reign as Tahoe’s favorite family fun center. Take time to bowl a few games of 9 pin, which is fun for the whole family. Tahoe Bowl’s new web site should be up and running this week. For those of you who are unaware, the city’s Recreation Center is across the street and a block away from the Inn. The in-door Ice Arena is also a big hit with families.

We are delighted to announce the addition of Bear Beach Café to the array of amenities available at Inn by the Lake. This new lake view full service family restaurant will be serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. We hope to open prior to the end of this month. Stay tuned for additional information.

Whether you spend your Holiday Season in Lake Tahoe (at the Inn of course) or at home, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Joyous Season. May the New Year bring you less stress, good health and much happiness!

Best Regards,
Dan
