Merry Christmas from Dunsmuir!!!

Merry Christmas! This morning I would like to express my appreciation for ALL the wonderful guests we’ve had over the years. 2008-present has been a struggle financially, and recovery of the economy did not “trickle down” to Dunsmuir until 2017, and even then, not for all of us. It takes a long time for those pennies to fall from heaven, where, apparently, the wealthy, live… That being said; we learned the hard way to save for winter like it was our last summer, and treat every guest like they are regulars. my mother, Donna Parsons started this program of saving and was the gatekeeper of the money, because up till then, we’d just poured all our money into this place and had no real idea how to save. The lodge still needed upgrades, but we were in survival mode.
Through this I’ve never forgotten it’s you, our guests, who makes us great by your patronage. This year I’m starting to dream about what the Dunsmuir Lodge could become again. I haven’t done that since 2008. Maybe one day there could be a second story, pool, and restaurant!
This year we did a few much needed repairs ($$$), and are now working on some interior touches in our premium rooms (formerly called “renovated”). We will eventually put finishing touches in the standard rooms also. Probably the biggest news for Dunsmuir Lodge in 2017 is the new TESLA car charging station, with adapter for all other cars, too! Dunsmuir is firmly planted in the 21st century now, and ready for the electric highway!
Thanks to all the hard work of our housekeepers, who keep the rooms nice and clean for you, our hospitable and helpful office staff, and myself, you still love us and keep coming back year after year! We will keep striving to be the most comfortable place to stay for people visiting the area. Thanks to everyone who has ever stayed here for your support!
