As we head into fall, the colors are beginning to show and the nights are getting cooler.  The town has quieted down from the hustle and bustle of vacation weeks, but there are still many good restaurants and shops to choose from.  This month the Resort became affiliated with Festiva Resorts, as they purchased the unsold weeks from the developer.  They will be offering new options and vacation opportunities to the Owners.  If you have any questions, their Owner Services Department can be reached at 866-933-7848.  Current Owners of deeded weeks can continue making their reservations as they always have, and all existing reservations will be honored.  And speaking of reservations, if you haven’t already made your flex week reservations for 2009, please try to make them as soon as possible to secure your desired week.  This year’s annual HOA meeting, normally scheduled for the second Saturday in December, has been moved up to November 22.  Details of time and location will be posted on the Members’s Only pages shortly, but it is expected to be in the same location on the SMCC campus in South Portland.

It has been a very busy summer season.  We could have used a little more sunshine and a little less rain the last couple of months, but our active Resort owners and Interval guests still found many ways to entertain themselves.  We partnered with Saddleback Ski Resort for some mid-week adventures led by Mark Robie, a registered Maine Guide and noted camp chef.  He has led hikes up Saddleback Mountain, toured Saddleback Lake by canoe at sunset, and even cooked gourmet dinners in the wilderness.  All excursions have received rave reviews.  The 2-hr pontoon boat tours on Rangeley Lake have also been quite popular again this year.  Area Guide Matt Tinker has taken numerous groups on moose-spotting trips and canoe fishing on area lakes.  Other families hiked Bald Mountain, Cascade Brook, or Angel Falls.  There have been some great community activities this year, including arts and crafts fairs, cookouts, musical shows, including the Diva concert that had local singing talent covering tunes by famous singers such as Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash. Since July the Resort has featured regular weekly socials, including a Make-Your-Own-Sunday ice cream social, a Monday morning coffee social, and a wine and cheese social.

The key to getting the most out of your vacation ownership is to plan ahead.  Make your reservations as far in advance as possible. If you are a 3-bedroom Fixed week owner, you are guaranteed your deeded week, but must call to select a cabin.   If you are a Flex Week owner you must call the resort to select your cabin and week.  Flex week owners may make a reservation for any flex week in their deeded season color (red, yellow, or green) up to one year in advance, and in a different color-coded flex week up to 59 days in advance.  All reservations are subject to availability, and are taken on a first-requested, first-reserved basis.  Many owners are reserving their weeks a year in advance.
