March INNformation at Cedar Falls

March 1st, 2012 by Innkeeper, Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls

Dear Friends,

 

The warmer winter weather has waterfalls flowing at their fullest and the early spring flowers blossoming.  The purple and white crocuses are showing their vibrant colors.  Also, we know spring is just round the corner as college breaks are happening.  Guests are scheduling mother-daughter getaways and family fun time.  And, beginning next week, we will be open for lunch daily from 11:30am-1:30pm as well as offering our new spring dinner menu.

 

Office FaceliftThe Office/Check-In area received a facelift in February.  Also, new furniture arrived for the RedBud and Hickory Hollow cabins.  Next week, Terry and Steve begin a full renovation of the Strong Wolf cabin.  It will be closed down most of March.

 

 

 

Nicole McCabe Guest Services ManagerAfter several weeks of interviewing, we decided to promote from within for our Guest Services Manager position.  We are excited that Nicole McCabe has joined our team fulltime.  Some of our guests have had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Nicole and others have seen her friendly face at check in.

Parties for our staff continue!!  Check out these photos of our “cooks dinner” at the Lodge at Hideaway Hills.  Also, a majority of our staff enjoyed dinner and a tour at Glenlaurel.  Look at these in our photo gallery.

Congratulations to Courtney Yoakum from Columbus, OH.  She won our vacation giveaway at the AAA Vacation Show in January.  Courtney won a FREE weeknight stay and hearty breakfast.

Lots of exciting events coming up in the next couple of months.  Here are just a few to whet your appetite.

American Red Cross Blood Drive

*InnSpirits Dinner on March 9

*Weekend CookInn Class-Fare w/Bold Flavors-March 30-31

*April Fool’s Day Special-April 1

*Easter Brunch-April 8-11:30am-2:00pm

*Red Cross Blood Drive-April 14

 

From Randy, our Spa Manager, here are some good tips for would-be spa goers.
When coming for your spa treatment, it is always best not to wear an excessive amount of make-up of perfume.

While some guests prefer to schedule an appointment for someone else and “surprise them”, sometimes it is not the best idea.  Occasionally, a “surprise massage” is not as well accepted as the giver had hoped.  If you want to surprise them, I suggest you give them some forewarning so they can mentally prepare and be relaxed when they arrive.

Deals, deals and more deals!  If you aren’t connected to facebook and twitter with us you might want to think twice.  Weekly, we are offering special deals that you can only find there.  Connect here today at Facebook and twitter.  Want to post a blog after your stay with us, go here.  

As we move into spring, stop by and see us.  There is always something new and exciting happening.

June 7th, 2011 by Innkeeper, Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls

Dear Friends,
Wow, spring moved right past us! And, into a warm start of summer. Innkeeper Terry say’s that’s great for our newest endeavor… BEES.
Bees
Mid May, the bees arrived. Terry has four active hives located in a private area beyond the hammocks. While it will take a year until we can process the honey, the bees are active and thriving.  Honey combs are already in the making.The honey will be used in the restaurant, for spa facials and sold in the gift shop.
 Bees at the Inn
Rooftop Garden
The finishing touches are being added to the Rooftop Garden. The flowers are blooming and Chef Anthony is already harvesting two types of lettuce. Innkeeper Terry designed and built the gazebo. Gardeners Kellie and Scott made it look gorgeos with plantings. It’s the perfect setting for star gazing, swinging with your loved one, hosting small weddings or renewing your marriage vows.

The Inn At The Hills Market

February 5th, 2011 by Innkeeper, Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls

Chef Anthony, joined by Innkeeper Ellen and Sous Chef Gerard, recently taught one of the Inn’s very popular cooking classes at The Hills Market in Columbus.

Attendees were treated to a full cooking demonstration, followed by a delicious four-course meal paired with incredible beers from Rockmill Brewery out of Lancaster, Ohio. The menu included Crab Cakes with Citrus Aioli paired with Rockmill’s Whitbier (an Organic Wheat Ale),  Duxelle Stuffed Beef Shoulder Tender with Sherry Reduction with Rockmills Dubbel (an Organic Abbey Ale), and Fontina, Sharp Cheddar, and Pecorino Cheeses with Rockmill’s Tripel (an Organic Golden Ale). Good food, good drink, and good company were enjoyed by all!

The Hills Market is a locally-owned specialty grocer, dedicated to providing the best that Ohio has to offer and many of the Ohio foods that are enjoyed around the world were first featured there. The Inn is always excited to pair with the market, and this was certainly no exception!

Out and About With the Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls

May 7th, 2010 by Innkeeper, Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls

On April 28th, Chef Anthony and Innkeeper Ellen trotted off to Columbus to teach a cooking class at the North Market. With 22 participants and 5 helpers, the evening was delightful. Anthony spent two hours educating and entertaining the class, preparing ‘blackened’ breadsticks, marinated flat iron steak with charred tomato salsa, and citrus-sage custard souffles. The Inn is one of numerous Dine Originals restaurants participating in the cooking class series, and the North Market was so thrilled with the event that they’ve asked Chef Anthony to return in the fall. Stay tuned for the date!
