Winter is definitely here! We're
expecting the odd snowfall, but we're lucky - 3 to 4 inches that
falls one day and usually melts away the next under blue skies and lots
of sunshine. Also, unless we're talking about a blizzard, our roads are
cleared before 7a.m. so there is no hassle traveling!
The Plateau is particularly beautiful under snow. Also cold snaps give us the joy of amazingly, long icicles
hanging from the bluffs, that are so special in the sunlight. We love
winter as the wonders of Big South Fork geology are revealed. The
skeletons of the trees allow unexpected views of the bluffs, waterfalls
and rivers that you cannot see at any other season.
Although we're going through a cold spell, we do expect to enjoy some of those special balmy days, with which the brilliant sunshine blesses us during the colder months. Trail riding is very special during the winter months. After your day outdoors, don't forget to warm yourself up near the large fire place in the guests' lounge.
We care about our customers' safety and well-being, so during this period we are more flexible on deposits and cancellations : if we get 48 hours notice (and so avoid unnecessary heating costs), with the exception of holiday periods, there is no penalty or cancellations.
WIRELESS DSL INTERNET ACCESS FOR GUESTS
We are happy to announce for April 2007, the installation of a wireless access point for guests in the Guests' sitting room. Now whilst we know that most of our guests are here to "getaway", we realize that there are some who can't get by without their daily WWW fix. And we do understand that our guests here on business are not even allowed to get away.
GUEST BOOK
We have just started an online guest book. We and future guests will be pleased to receive your comments after your stay.
JULIA'S NATURAL ART PIECES
Julia
spices her hikes with Flo (the dog) by collecting lovely artifacts of
nature - at the right time of the year, her pockets are full of
Zip locks and her "finds ". She carefully cures and hoards these until
winter halts any outdoor activity. Then she lovingly creates her craft
pieces out of all the beautiful things that Nature provides at Big
South Fork such as fungi, seed heads, shells, buds, insects,
butterflies...
Most of the bedrooms have samples on the walls and now, by popular demand, we have hung pieces for sale on the wall of the upper corridor.
VIDEO LIBRARY
All of the rooms and cabins are equipped with VCR s. We have built a large video library so that you will have a great choice of movies if you want to borrow them from the Lodge.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT INSPECTION
We are pleased to announce that the latest Inspection on September 20 2007 resulted in a 99% score. We are happy that outside controllers confirm the efforts we make to provide you with a clean and healthy place for you to stay.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE AREA
Wildwood Lodge is pleased to display photographs of the natural wonders of Big South Fork and Pickett State Park. Our guests include professional and trained, amateur photographers who stay with us to capture the beauty of the area. You may purchase greeting cards and framed photos at the Lodge.
