Joyce and her beautiful Wheaton Terriers enjoyed a stay at the inn recently. These dogs were so well-behaved, and never barked except once when they saw Pat filling the bird feeders. Sander & Carly are fluffy, loveable, and fun. (Joyce was pretty doggone nice, too.)

Four of the guest rooms are "dog friendly", with doors leading directly outside to the gardens. Every dog guest receives a welcome gift, including treats and a Fido magazine for their reading pleasure. Whenever a dog guest checks into the inn, special room preparations occur (including changing out the bedspread & blankets to the "dog friendly" bedding.)

Pat & Hollie Hogan were married on November 8 alongside Lake Hamilton, in the inn gardens. It was a gorgeous day for a wedding, complete with sunshine, fall foliage, and love in the air. What a handsome, calm, and kind couple! Congratulations and best wishes to the Hogans!

The entire staff at the inn consider every wedding to be a most special and wonderful event. Truly it is a privilege to host every bride and groom, as they begin their married life in this lovely sanctuary.

A recent benefit to couples marrying at Lookout Point is the addition of an inn photographer, Kelley Rosset. Although she is not a professional photography, she has a passion for quality photography and great camera equipment. She brings an alternative to professional photographers, and provides the couple with a CD of high resolution photos ready for printing in any size.

Married lakeside at the inn, Stacy and Bubba (two of the nicest people you'll ever meet) were surrounded by their parents for the wedding. Congratulations and best wishes.

Every day at Lookout Point, we exclaim "We get the NICEST people staying here." And it is absolutely true. We invite you spend a couple of days in this lovely, peaceful setting--your faith in the goodness of humankind will be restored. You'll have as much privacy as you desire, or you may want to meet genuinely nice folks who happen to be guests at the inn.
Stacy & Bubba, thank you for choosing to married here!

For quite some time, the Lookout Point owners researched alternatives to the small plastic amenity bottles used by inns, B&B's, and hotels around the globe. Those little bottles needlessly become trash in landfills (unable to recycle them, since the product is only partially used.)

At the recent Select Registry trade show, these wall mounted amenity pumps were discovered. The shampoo and conditioner, by Baudelaire, contain all natural ingredients, and no parabens.

Making the change to pump dispensers, replacing the small amenity bottles, will save the landfill from the waste of approximately 4,000 small bottles each year. In addition, the water and petroleum used to manufacturer those little wasteful bottles are reduced.

Striving to grow as professional and passionate innkeepers, Ray & Kristie Rosset, owners and innkeepers of Lookout Point, are attending the Select Registry Conference in Williamsburg, Virginia. Taking a brisk walk during a morning break, this horsedrawn carriage prepared to take tourists through the historic area.

Proud to members of this prestigious group of Inns/B&B's, Lookout Point innkeepers learn from the conference and talking with other professional innkeepers. Kristie currently serves on the Select Registry Technology & Information Committee, striving to develop a Central Reservation System for the organization.

Whenever you stay at Lookout Point, or any Select Registry property, you'll receive a SR guidebook to all the incredible inns.

Innkeepers Ray & Kristie Rosset are attending the Select Registry Conference in Williamsburg, VA. Pictured at the trade show are Ray with Lookout Point Lakeside Inn's webmasters Jeff Logan and Pat McCauley of Inside Out Solutions. Frequent comments at the inn include: "Your website is great! Easy to navigate. Terrific photos!" Well here's a part of the team that creates our website.

The Select Registry conference brings together the cream of the crop innkeepers, with much learning occuring not only in workshops but throughout conversations with other innkeepers. Select Registry represents the top 400 inns in North America, requiring a very strenuous onsite anonymous inspection process. Lookout Point is definitely proud to be a member of this prestigious organization.

Every guest at Lookout Point is presented the gift of the Select Registry directory, highlight each inn. It's the perfect travel guide for discerning guests.
