3/17/09 - It's St. Patrick's Day and I'm inspired to write. If you haven't seen the Shore House Stimulus Plan, then look at the home page. $50.00 off each night! Wow! A lot of people seem to be taking advantage of it. We've had plenty of snow and the skiing is good. It's warmed up a bit, so the afternoons are spring conditions. We're looking forward to a wonderful summer now that the day light has been extended. So don't be shy. Call us and make your reservations.
1/21/09 - It's been sunny and warm for the last 2 weeks and the mountains are getting thin for snow, but the forcast is encouraging. We are expecting fresh snow for the next 5 days. The skiing should be excellent for the next 2 weeks at least.
1/4/09 - The Holiday is over and all had a wonderful time. It was not as busy at Tahoe as it usually is for the Holidays and our guests experienced no lines at the ski areas and easy access to restaurants and other activites. January looks quieter than normal, which means, our visitors will have the mountains to themselves. This is a unique opportunity for you die hard skiers and boarders, and the snow is great!
12/31/08 - New Years Eve
12/30/08 - The snows have come and the skiing is really great. Lake Tahoe doesn't seem as busy this year as in previous years. Probably because of the slowing economy. But don't let that stop you! You still need a break from your daily lives. Come and see us soon.
Dave and Sue Foyle are here now for their 6th visit. We love to see our old friends.
NEW STUFF AT THE SHORE
HOUSE

House is our beautiful Lakeview Massage Studio - It has a comfy
lounge with a spectacular view of the lake, and a massage room
with 2 state of the art massage tables. Our specialty is couples
massage, that means both of you getting a massage at the same time
in the same room. Our professional and highly trained masseuses
offer relaxing, deep tissue, therapeutic massage, and have been
getting rave reviews from our guests. Perfect Apres Ski Activity!
Gift Certificates to the Shore House Gift
Certificates make a wonderful gift for that relative who has
everything, or as a thank you to employees that you can’t live
without. How about an Anniversary or Wedding Gift. Give us a call
- we can help take the burden off of your Christmas shopping as
well!
TV’s For those of you who have had to
search for a place to watch the SuperBowl or the news while
staying with us, rejoice! We are in the process of adding TVs
(beautifully hidden in Pine cabinets) in our
guestrooms. They will be installed in January of 2004.
High Speed Wireless Internet Access North Tahoe has
finally come into the 21st century. DSL is now
available and installed at the Shore House. We have wireless
adaptors that you can plug into your laptop to get internet access
from anywhere on the property. WOW! Now that’s Cool.
Gift Shop We have had so many requests for more of
our flowered cat creamers and china sets, engraved wine glasses,
moose, robes, Shore House t-shirts, sweatshirts, coffee mugs and
cookbooks that we have been feeling a bit crowded. So, we have
expanded our gift shop! Let us know if we can help you with the
perfect Christmas gift from the Shore House!
Special Extras We’ve designed 5 Special Extras to
enhance your stay at the Shore House. You’ll find all the details
on our web site. Start your stay with a bottle of Champagne and
Chocolate Covered Strawberries in your room upon arrival, a
Welcome Basket full of fruits, cheeses, breads and treats or
arrange a surprise for your honey with Breakfast in Bed. Make your
visit to the Shore House even more romantic with our special
extras.
Reservations on Line You can also now reserve a room
online any time of the day or night, but of course, we still enjoy
taking reservations over the phone, so we can hear your friendly
voices! After you make your reservation, our confirmation letter
includes an easy form for you to reserve a massage, a table at any
of our fine neighboring restaurants, a cruise on the Lady of the
Lake, kayak rentals, a welcome basket, breakfast in bed, chocolate
covered strawberries and champagne, or a special bouquet of
balloons and flowers.
Kayaks Our other new addition is our own fleet
of kayaks for our guests to use! We have kayaks in the warmer
months right from the Shore House beach, so you can take them out
for an hour, or get a picnic lunch from us and spend the day
swimming and sunning at the Crystal Bay boulders!
Wedding Packages We had a great year with weddings -
Many happy couples have sent us pictures to add to our wedding
book! We’ve redesigned our wedding offerings into 4 packages, from
the simplest "Just for the Two of You" to the "Ultimate Intimate
Wedding". It’s all on our web site at
www.shorehouselaketahoe.com
. These packages can also apply to Vow Renewals. Take a look and
call us if you have any questions.
Group Stays With our new lake view lounge next to
the massage studio, we now have the facilities to accommodate
small groups. We can rent out several rooms or the entire Shore
House midweek to special groups, including wedding parties, in the
fall, winter and spring. We have had a few small businesses hold
their executive retreats here, and a women’s book group from San
Francisco had a fun midweek getaway for several days here last
month. Let us know if your group would like to come to our inn for
a business or recreational retreat. You know we’ll wow you all
with Shore House hospitality!
Family Stuff We feel so very fortunate that we have
had a safe and healthy year. Jake has graduated from UC
San Diego - he is a Communications major with minors in Business,
and Drama. He was Captain of the Ski Team, plays flag football,
inner tube water polo, and surfs. He has taken over the running of our sister B&B in Palm Springs, CA called Rendezvous. Marty is enjoying his Harley
more than ever - many fun getaways this year. Barb just got back
from China with her Mom - a fabulous trip - ask to see her
pictures!
In Closing: Please join us in helping families in
your own area who are suffering or in need. The best thing we can
do with our good fortune is to share it with others. Be generous
this year - it will return to you in wondrous ways. Enjoy
the upcoming holidays, enjoy good health in the upcoming year,
enjoy your friends and family, and please stop by during the
coming year for a glass of cheer and a beautiful Shore House
sunset with us!
