A Light in Every Window

This weekend marks the (official) start of our season and we are happy to report that every one of our nine cabins are booked! What a sight to see all the windows lit up along the river as I drove down the road towards home last night after a busy (good) day of greeting old friends, and meeting new ones. We also have some hearty souls who are camping with us, and some of our Camper Cabins are also occupied. After an unusually cold and snowy winter it is comforting to have people here again- especially the nice folks who always make plans to spend their Spring Break with us fishing for trout on the White River. John has worked very hard to get us back into our "pre-flood" office, and we are just putting the final touches on that. We hope you'll make your plans soon to come back to the resort and see all we've done to make it even better than you remember.

Happy New Year 2010

This morning we are busy filing away paperwork from 2009 reservations, thinking about ordering a computerized reservation system, and gearing up for getting some long-dreamed-of projects accomplished during the winter "down time"...
We have plans for making White Buffalo Resort better than ever; so if you've visited us in the past we look forward to seeing you again in 2010. If you are contemplating a trip in the future for the first time, we hope you'll be sufficiently intrigued by our website, by what you read on our blog, or what you hear on the radio ads to call and make a reservation. For all of you who reserved your dates for 2010 as you departed in 2009- we will be calling you soon to confirm those reservations. We wish all of our White Buffalo Resort friends a very happy, healthy, and blessed New Year.

Plan A Romantic Getaway

During the months of December and January we are offering a "Romantic Getaway" Package-
2 nights in a Deluxe Cabin for 2 for $189.00. We will include a gift basket with every reservation with discounts at local restaurants, chocolates, and sparkling beverage. An ideal Christmas gift for the one you love.

Doing Things Together

Yesterday, a couple arrived from Tennessee. They came in early because they wanted to rent a boat and go fishing. The husband was a fisherman, but informed me his wife had never fished. "Well good," I said. "It can become your 'do-together' thing."
They reported last night that he had caught fish, but she hadn't. "She let one get away," he said. "But we had fun together," she said.
Another couple here this weekend is celebrating their 34th wedding anniversary. Their children, along with their first grandchild; are planning to come by later and they will probably go on a hike together.
The guests in Lodge #5 are having a Family Reunion. Seven siblings and their spouses are reconnecting this weekend because they told me they promised their parents before they died that they'd all get together at least once a year.
Another couple got in late last night after work, but they are in a canoe now, floating down the river together.
People frequently arrive and ask what there is to do here. I have many responses. Some families have no problem- they already do things together.

NO RAIN THROUGH THE WEEKEND

This morning's weather report was unusual- no rain through the weekend. This is my favorite time of year and you people are missing out if you don't have plans to gather at the river! The daytime temperatures are in the low 70's and the sun is shining while the nights drop down into the 40's- great sleeping weather. We've even enjoyed a full moon the last few nights and been able to see countless stars with no clouds in the sky. We took some family time last week between rain showers to drive to Boxley Valley and see the elk herd and you still have an opportunity to do that too if you come. Make time to get away---you'll be glad if you do.

Big Small Mouth

Well, after an unproductive morning of fishing for Smallmouth on The Buffalo, look what this young man hooked on the White River near the public access!!! That's a 4.50 lb, 28 inch beautiful Smallmouth Bass. It's not too late in the season to join the fun....

The Perfect Gift for the Fisherman in Your Life
