Specials that REALLY are!

That up north pine look is cozy any season

We run specials at Cedaroma Lodge every time we think of a new one. Sometimes the motivation comes from a guest, like today’s new special: Crab Apples and Crappies. You can click to it, it’s a lovely special!  Varying discounts based on length of stay from 5-20% off our single night rates for the month of May. And you can reserve motors or rent boats for half or more off with a 4 night or longer stay. I know that some of our annual guests are not snow lovers and they are dreaming of a warmer time and the colors of new blossoms. This one’s for them!

We have so many specials, we can’t get them all on the internet without confusing our internet vacationers. One of my favorites is the “Make Me an Offer” special, but I had to take it down today, there are just too many. But, know that if you know about MMAO, I will listen to your pitch, the opportunity isn’t gone, just the marketing of it.

Oh, yes, then we come to our winter offers, neat. I thought we hit a home run with the weather guarantee. Our traveling snow lovers did not. Well, we learned that lesson. You want the weather guarantee WITH discounts. We did it with our standard pricing and discounted to those who didn’t want the weather guarantee. (Weddings & Funerals, Anniveraries & Reunions, Event Travel… they have to come in spite of the weather) Okay, that one won’t get replayed next year.

So, look at the two we are getting business with, the 15% discount and the $33pp mid week package. Good stuff both. We like them and so do our guests. You can see a comparison of the winter specials online, scroll down the page:

On the more unique, specialty side of the special equation is our program for groups in the offseason with rates over 50% discounted. While you can’t go wrong with this one. t/here is only a small number of people for whom this one would appeal. Maybe that’s you?

The 8 day week is another good one. Take your vacation at Memorial and Labor Days and we will GIVE you that 8th day. How cool is that! It is so simple. Book your week, take the extra day on us.

Well that summarizes our current published specials. If you have one you would like to see us run, Pitch Me! Lynn@Cedaroma.com

My sister was right

It’s the biggest lakefront cabin with a super view!

But she will never know that I said that. She doesn’t follow my posts, blog, facebook or other, so I am fairly confident that I am safe in saying that.

As sisters go, Annie is pretty cool. Perfectly opposite me. If you have met her you would recognize it immediately. Well, Annie has been telling me to stop sleeping around. Pick a cabin and stay there. Take the big house. Enjoy #7. Manage from #3. Spread out in #5… Live in whichever one I like best, but stop moving around. She said my life will be more balanced when I have a place to call home. blah blah blah.

And she was right. Here I am back in #7 and I just love it. Victor does too.  He won’t admit it, but he does. Even the dog with a dozen names likes it better and is exhausted from all the play space here.

Now, I know this is a public blog, so I don’t want my Cabin #7 guests to worry, your reservations are confirmed and solid. We will move out again when the time comes, tickled to see you all again! But for now, it is soooo much better being here than in our little place up at the front—which is perfect for the summer when we spend all of our time outside… But for now, with this cold, it is lovely being in a full sized house type space… WITH LAUNDRY! Thank you Annie for the encouragement. I plan to continue moving around, as the season requires, but I will always make #7 my Not-Summer home.

Maybe we will build a real home of our own on one of the lots above the resort. That might be fun to actually have a space I don’t move into and out of twice a year. It will be small though, I don’t much like to dust.

From the Water

Cedaroma Lodge Lakefront Access

Yesterday in a random discussion with a guest I learned that they had difficulty finding Cedaroma Lodge on their way home the prior night. They stopped at one place who sent them the right direction and eventually found us.

So I went out and photographed the lodge from the lake so folks can study before they go out. We have lights and a set of red solar markers, but having a better idea before one starts off is likely more confidence building.

Here are the icons you will see from the lake:

• 4 similar cabins, one with the porch light on. Always. It’s a beacon
• Boats on shore, including several red & yellow kayak/SUP Boards tied down. Colorful indicators of home.
• Tracks. Yes, lots of tracks that lead right to us. I spent a bit of time walking around out on the lake and found us to look like a freeway coming into Cedaroma Lodge from the lake.
• Due South from the South Bay channel at Black Bear Lodge & the opening at Serenity Bay. Really. Straight South.
• If you do find yourself near our shore and aren’t sure, we are about 150 yards EAST (to your left) of the open water where the docks are still in the water.
• Retaining wall & colorful flags. We have that long retaining wall, about 3 feet high and 150 feet long. As long as the snow doesn’t get too high, this is very visible. We have marked the stairwells with flags for your safety.

Easy access from Cedaroma to the Little St. Germain Lake and all the trails that come off the lake, and from the land, you can catch the trails two houses over from us at South Bay Road.

I am looking at my dozen or so photos and everything does seem to look similar. But, with these few notes of things to look for you should be able to find us from the lake without too much difficulty. Happy Snowmobiling. I will post a sunnier photo next time I am out and photographing on a sunny day.
