2009 October Update - Almost been one year

I should have written more entries but I'll try to cap the progress. There's been alot of work on the cottages. Over the summer, we've been able to install new front doors for all of the cottages. We also installed an on demand gas water heater for the Falcon. It takes about 20 minutes or so to fill up the double sized jacuzzi bathtub, but it's limitless hot water which is really cool. We also renovated the Owl and moved a doorway from 'room 1 to room 2' to 'living room to room 2'.


We've also added onto marketing material like ads in magazines (Idyllwild Life, and Idyllwild Visitor's Guide) and a restaurant menu in a city down the hill. We got a poster made and rack cards, which are being displayed in front of Wooley's shop in the downtown area. That gets a lot of foot traffic so it's a good place to spread the word.













I also have a car magnet that I designed.

This year in marketing has been using solid lines and compartmentalized sections with room pictures, descriptions and the logo. It's clean and I've received compliments on the design.




Overall, everything is going very well. I believe the economy is slowly turning up as well. People are starting to feel more confident to go out on small trips. Gas is right around 3 dollars in this area of the California. The weather has been starting to cool down and it feels like it's going to be a good fall.
