Greetings
from Bearskin Lodge on the Gunflint Trail,
Summer on
the Gunflint Trail is drawing to a close. Overall, it has been a
gorgeous summer, with relatively few rainy, cool days. We're
hoping for an equally nice fall. There are still many prime autumn
dates available. Come up and visit us during this colorful time
of year on the Gunflint Trail.
Chef Judi
Barsness from Chez Jude will be serving meals on Friday and Saturday
nights during September and October. You can reserve meals online
at http://www.bearskin.com/ChezJude/dining.html
We encourage you to reserve early. Our intimate dining space is
fairly small, so we often fill up.

-
Labor
Day Last Minute Special Elegant 3 course meal at
Chez Jude at Bearskin and 2 nights in one of our remaining open cabins
or lodges for $194.50 per person over Labor Day weekend, based on

people. Must stay on Friday or Saturday night in order to dine at
Chez Jude. Very limited availability left. Call our front desk.

Offer available beginning September 1.
Winter News
- Our new winter
rates will be
available online in September, but we are not
anticipating any significant rate changes. Considering that some
of our cabin prices decreased last winter, that's good news for winter
travelers and skiers. We will also continue pricing several of the
bigger cabins at a 4-person rate in January, February and
March.
- Winter
holiday availability: The dates between Christmas and New
Year's always book up well ahead of time. Most of those dates are
full now, but we will be asking for holiday season deposits in
September. A few spots always open up. Put your name
on our waiting list if you're dreaming of a post-Christmas holiday ski
vacation -- we almost always manage to get everyone in. The same is
true for President's Weekend. Right now it
looks almost full, but that may change.
- MLK
weekend in January does have a few openings. Last year we
changed the MLK 3-day weekend from holiday rates to regular winter
pricing, making that long weekend an especially good bargain; we'll do
the same this winter.
Do you have digital pictures
from your visit to Bearskin Lodge? We'd love to share your
pictures on the daily photo page or blog. E-mail pictures to sue@bearskin.com and
become part of Bearskin's online history. (We've received pictures we
haven't used yet, but if you've e-mailed us photos that haven't
appeared, we have project going that will use them all soon!)
Thanks to everyone
who visits Bearskin on the web. We are always amazed at
how many people routinely view our blog, webcam and
pictures. It's not quite as good as visiting the real Bearskin, but
it offers a quick peek of the woods for many people. News about
Bearskin can be found on the Bearskin Blog and on our daily photo page. Bearskin is also now on Facebook -- become a fan.
Hope to
see you at Bearskin in your favorite season,
Bob, Sue, Kaitlin, & Quinn McCloughan
Bearskin Lodge
