シルバーウッド、ファラガット。 38を眠る！ 再会、リトリート

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing our property for your family’s special reunion—not once, but twice! We’re thrilled to hear that this is the first destination you’ve selected for a repeat stay in 30 years of gatherings, and that you and your group of 30 loved the home and grounds overall. It’s always rewarding to know we’ve created a space where families can create lasting memories. Keeping the grounds and house in tip-top shape when it is used every week by family groups of 30-40 people requires a Herculean amount of work and maintenence. The work required to keep the house and grounds lovely under that kind of use, is never ending! However, that’s the last thing we want you to think about during your vacation, and we really try to manage it in ways that won’t impact our guests. We truly appreciate you highlighting the maintenance concerns from your vantage point, as it helps us continue improving the guest experience. The work mentioned was indeed outdoors, focused on enhancing the property’s safety and enjoyment. The new lighting system is being designed by a reputable professional to make evenings feel even more secure and inviting on our expansive, wooded grounds. We had anticipated a shorter visit for measurements, but we apologize again for the unexpected full-day installation and any disruption it caused. The well pump repair was an urgent, unforeseen issue to ensure uninterrupted water access for your group’s cooking, showers, and daily needs. We do not have city water. The fact that you did not experience an interruption is only because we have cisterns that hold a couple days worth of water in the case of a pump failure. But fixing it was urgent. Rest assured, no workers ever have access to your private door code, which each family selects for added peace of mind and security. We understand that with a large group including little ones and those sensitive to “stranger danger,” unexpected activity and noise outside can be unsettling, and for that we are very sorry. Your input is invaluable, and we’ll use it to better communicate and schedule such essential tasks in the future to minimize any impact. It would be a pleasure to welcome your family back for a third reunion. We love hosting our many “regulars”. We are constantly working to make improvements so that each stay is better than the last.

Toilet paper has been difficult to procure in the amounts I need for the lodge! I’m so sorry about the thin stuff. I feel that individually wrapped toilet paper rolls are the most sanitary, but there wasn’t a lot of choices! I try to buy from Costco, but it’s hard to get enough there to supply the lodge! Cash and Carry in CDA has only had the one- ply in the individually wrapped rolls most of this year. It’s awful! But all I could get.
