Lilac Season

The sweet smell of spring is in the air around the lake. I had to capture it and bring it into the Inn. Lilacs are in full bloom everywhere. Some celebrate the coming of the cherry blossoms, but for me it's all about the lilacs. Maybe it's because I was born at the peak of lilac season (tomorrow is my birthday:) If you love them as much I do and you're in the area, at 10am this Saturday there's a presentation called "Lovely Lilacs" happening at the New Jersey Botanical Gardens (just 10 minutes from the Inn). 

We're Sponsoring the American Open Pro Squash Tour

Once again I'm amazed by the amount of activities that happen in our area. Our friends at Live Technology in Tuxedo Park  are hosting the American open of the Pro Squash Tour. We've signed on as an event sponsor for this year and we're excited to check out some of the best squash players in the world on April 25-29. For more info go to www.prosquashtour.net

Magic of Belle Isle

Greenwood Lake's long awaited Hollywood moment is almost here! The trailer for the Magic of Belle Isle has just been released and the movie will be opening in theaters July 6. This is the Rob Reiner film starring Morgan Freeman that was filmed here last summer. We had a blast hosting some of the cast and crew at the Inn and can't wait to see the finished product.

Here's the sneak peak http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ECo5Tbnd4Q

And I must admit, Greenwood Lake does look that amazing in real life too.

Fellow Innkeepers

Last night we had the pleasure of hosting the April meeting of the Orange County B&B Association at the Waterstone Inn. It's been a great organization for us to be a part of. There's a wonderful camaraderie between fellow innkeepers and I truly appreciate the kind words and advice people are willing to share. The best nugget of info that I learned from this meeting was how to use Facebook to link your Inn to area attractions. I will certainly be working on making this happen on our site.
