Memorial Day Weekend

It may have been a soggy start to our summer kick off, but things are heating up in Greenwood Lake. We were the featured destination in the Living section of paper. Woo hoo!

By Monday there were people tubing out on the lake. And this week temps are forecasted to be in the upper 80s, the restaurants are in full gear and this coming weekend is the East Arm Rowing Club's Regatta, as well as the Spartan Race at Tuxedo Ridge.

Spa for Spring

Once again I've offered myself as a guinea pig for the sake of our guests. It's tough, but someone has to do it:) After a super busy week I finally took some time out for myself and went for a microdermabrasion session at Deirdre's Day Spa, which is right here on our little main street. To my surprise, Deirdre Rafferty, the owner, had formerly had a location in NYC then moved her business to downtown Greenwood Lake. I'm glad she did, because I enjoyed it so much that I signed up for the six-week plan in an effort to prep my skin for spring. I'm working on creating some spa & stay packages for the Inn. Stay tuned . . .

Foot Spa Tea Bar

One of the many perks of running an Inn is that it's part of my job to "research" things to do in the area that would be of interest to guests. I recently discovered a nearby Foot Spa Tea Bar! It's a wonderful little place tucked away on a side street that offers reflexology sessions. For $40/hour it was an absolute bargain for the treatment I received. It's a tranquil environment complete with soothing music, herbal teas, and a warm foot soak complimented by a neck and shoulder massage. When the reflexology treatment begins you lounge back in an amazing leather recliner and are tucked in to a fuzzy blanket.

You can even organize a private "girls' night out" type event and bring in your own wine and appetizers.

It was hard work, but our guests are worth it :) I'll continue to check out places like this to reccomend.
