Feels like Summer

After a very chilly May I think everyone is ready for some fun in the sun. With temps close to 90 today I couldn't  resist taking the boys to the beach after school. The water is still a bit brisk, but no one seemed to mind.    We have the first swim of the season under our belts, summer has officially started. 

Unwind on the Deck



Late afternoon/early evening is one of the best times at the Inn. The sun shines down on the deck, the water sparkles and the crew boats glide by. Our deck bar with its high stools are the perfect place to perch to take it all in. Many of our guests that spend the day exploring the local wineries enjoy bringing back a bottle of their favorite vintage and unwinding on the deck.

Outdoor Dining on the Lake

Nothing better than mid-70s in early April. It was the perfect day on the deck at Emerald Point, just down the road from the Inn. If you've stayed with us before you know that it's a great restaurant and bar that's walking distance (just in case you decide to have a couple drinks). After all, if you're staying with us chances are you're here at the Lake for a little R&R.

Greenwood Lake Radio is on the Air!

You never know where life is going to take you. If someone told me a year ago that I would be
co-hosting a radio show I would have never believed it. In somewhat of a random twist of fate, I'm now  the co-host, along with Kevin Sweeney, of Greenwood Lake Radio on WTBQ 93.5. As an endeavor of the Greenwood Lake Merchants Guild, of which I'm the VP, Greenwood Lake Radio as it's name suggests, will showcase everything and anything Greenwood Lake. We went live this past Friday and will continue to air every Friday 11am-12pm. After the initial panic of live radio subsided, I have to say that it was a great time. So if you want an insider view of "the Lake" tune into your innkeeper on Greenwood Lake Radio. If you're outside of Orange County you can go to wtbq.com to listen.

Humphrey Hotel (now the Waterstone Inn) on Display

If you've had the chance to visit the Inn, you'll know that we strive to showcase the rich history of Greenwood Lake, especially the old hotels. So I was thrilled to discover that currently at the Greenwood Lake Library there's a display of two original phones from the Humphrey Hotel (now home to the Waterstone Inn). The phones are owned by Greenwood Lake residents Fran, Larry, and Theresa Seccafico, who were personal friends of Walter and Loretta Humphrey. Also on display is a telephone book, dated 1946-47, showcasing the phone numbers of residents and businesses of the time. If you're in the area it's worth stopping by to take a look.
