The Economy--and The Panther

In the 1992 Presidential election, Bill Clinton's team popularized the phrase "It's the economy, stupid!" The idea was that the campaign needed laser-sharp focus on the number one issue--the economy--if they hoped to beat George H. W. Bush in the election.

Well, today isn't much different. For those of us in the hospitality industry, a laser focus is needed to keep us from faltering in this difficult time. So we're concentrating on what we do best--providing a place of quiet and comfort where our guests can go for that brief respite that will help them re-charge the batteries and get back into the battle. It's our feeling that great quality of service at a reasonable price, delivered in a relaxing environment by professionals is just what the Doctor would order (although today, the doctor is likely to be a Ph.D. in Economics!).

To help bring our guests--and us--through the next few months (March 15 through May 1, 2009), we've put together a Spring Special that we think may be just the thing. With savings of 25-50% on EVERY room in the house, you're bound to find a place where you can spend a few days relaxing and re-charging.
In general, the higher savings (50% off) are on rooms in the Main House (the newly rebuilt main building), with the lowest savings coming in those rooms that have wood-burning fireplaces (25% off) with a good mix in between.

We've instituted a few changes that help us make this kind of reduction possible (nothing is ever free!).

• First, we've decided to stop serving breakfast until May 1, 2009;
• Second, reservations during this period are non-refundable; and
• Third, these reservations are non-cancellable and not transferrable to another date.

In addition, our restaurants (The Main House Dining Room and The Panther Pub) will be open on Friday and Saturday nights ONLY beginning on March 15th.

We hope that the economy treats you gently, andwe hope that you'll consider coming to seeus when it doesn't--or even if it does!
