Have a great time at OUR beloved lodge!

Thanks WD. I'm sure we will have a fantastic time at OUR lodge

Any room recommendations? As a first timer, should I get the dumpster view?

Not sure if you all have this store in your area, but they have bedroom furniture to match this themeing as well.

Here is the rest of the collection :

I really don't think you should be hogging that coveted Dreaded Dumpster View on your first trip!!!

Maybe try to get by with a lake side view or a quiet pool view. Even a front side view on the higher floors is a good one.


Have a great time planning your trip!

 

[mickeymorse]

Thanks Granny. I promise to share the dumpster view with others. Any takers

Once my lottery #s come in, that big add-on will be all mine

 

[MiaSRN62]

Yeah....like the Vero Beach Lover's thread has the beach chair swap......we could have the "dumpster view swap" ! Fair is fair !

Happy Monday Groupies.

Just wanted to let you all know I stayed in a real NW lodge this weekend, but no moose in sight!

We had our floors refinished so DH, kitties and I had to vacate.
We stayed at Skamania Lodge, located in the Columbia Gorge, about 45 minutes from my house. When I figure out how to download phone pictures onto this website, I'll post some.

Though Skamania is truly beautiful, it just made me miss VWL more!

And by the way, the room had all the competing patterns going on, with the rug, sofa, chair and bedspread all competing for, shall we say, ugliest.
So guess that look is truly representative of what Lodge is supposed to be.

Sounds like a nice mini getaway 50 Years ! Looking forward to some pics when you get the time.

The weather broke here in Maryland. It's currently 66 degrees. I need a VWL fix. Do you know how one's heart is when spring breaks? Well, my heart is telling me that I need a VWL encounter.

I remember very well when I lived in the northeast how I longed for spring. It could not come fast enough. 10 years in FL and now here in NC I have been cured of that.

Maria, that furniture is so VWL! Love it!

Deb, I can't wait to see your pictures. Ill matched furniture and all!

 

[cheer4bison]

Maria,

Love the lodge furniture you posted about! I'm going to have to bookmark that site and start saving up some money for future furniture purchases. It looks very authentic to our beloved lodge.

Thanks!
Jill

PS. Five more days!!! Leaving Sunday...

 

[mickeymorse]

Have a wonderful trip Jill. Want an extra long trip report with pics when you return.

I love the idea of a room in VWL style. Might just have to start one myself.

WD. The weather here hit 53 today but its about to get ugly. Front coming through with lots of freezing rain. Back up to 40 on Wed. Just have to get through tomorrow.

Sounds like a great time Deb. Hope you can post some of those camera pics.

When you make a ressie, can you request a specific room or just floor/lake view etc..?

 

[blossomz]

Maria--luv that rustic lodge furniture!!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Glad several of you liked the furniture. I love it.

Temps hit 64 here---loved it. The sun was out....the birds chirpping. But alas...it won't last. After tomorrow, temps will go back down. We won't get out of the low 40's over the weekend. Spring can't get here fast enough for me.

 

[blossomz]

We are having similar weather here in York. It is warm, but rainy. Tonight may even bring thunderstorms...but there is nothing like a thunderstorm at Magic Kingdom in the heat of the day!!

Maria,

Thanks!

Ok Jill,
You are officially responsible for the mental health of all us eastcoast groupies who are longing for spring (oh what the heck, for the entire herd of us). Pictures, pictures, pictures

Glad several of you liked the furniture. I love it.

I got a bit of "fake" spring today, went to the Flower show in Philadelphia not my lodge fix but very pretty none the less. If you need a pick-me-up try and catch it.

Doesn't that 60's weather feel like heaven this time of year?!!!
Imagine, we would complain about how cold it is if this were August.
Love the emergence of Spring.
We had it last Friday, but it is cold and rainy today.

Eliza....I'm trying to get there this weekend !

And yes 50 Years......60 feels like paradise in winter.............

 

[Island Mouse]

I just wanted to send some sunshine wishes to my fellow groupies who are in colder parts of the country than I am. It's been gorgeous this week in paradise.

 

[cheer4bison]

Ok Eliza,

I happily accept your mission to share springtime with fellow groupies by reporting in from our beloved lodge. I better go figure out how to use my son's digital camera!

Four days and counting!

Jill
