The New Pool is OPEN!

We have had an amazing start to the 2015 season here at the Historic Summit Inn Resort! Our outdoor pool and hot tub are now officially open for guests! It has been a long road but the improvements have finally been made and we are excited to have you relax by the pool side yet again. We opened the pool for Memorial Day weekend and have already hosted our first Summit Inn wedding ceremony under the new pool pavilion.

New for the 2015 Summer, the Summit Inn is having outdoor yoga on the pool deck every Wednesday and Friday evening! Yoga is open to locals and free for our overnight guests.

2013 Historic Summit Inn Season Recap

Our 2013 season is coming to a close! We had such an amazing season filled with visits from our favorite returning guests, some great new friends, beautiful weddings and stunning sunsets from the Veranda! The Historic Summit Inn’s season started with a nostalgic goodbye to our Olympic size steel swimming pool. We worked on the new pool all season and were disappointed that due to unforeseen weather and a couple other complications we weren’t able to open the new pool in 2013. However, we are very excited to finish the new outdoor pool and pool house next season!

One of the highlights of the 2013 season was when we were honored with some amazing community choice awards for best Wedding Venue and Most Romantic Restaurant. We will work hard to earn our neighbors votes again next year! Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need a venue or awesome establishment to celebrate your special day, party or reunion.

During the last few weeks of October we hosted the “Treehouse Master” Pete Nelson, and his crew while they built an amazing Treehouse to add a unique new venue to our property. Look for the release of this new episode of Treehouse Masters to air on Animal Planet sometime in early January. We will keep you updated here and on facebook for future announcements on when this special episode of Treehouse Masters will air. If you want a sneak peak, take a look at this small post.

Thanks again to all of our guests and amazing staff for an incredible 2013 season! See you again in April, 2014 🙂

Summit Inn Outdoor Pool Construction *UPDATE*

It took a lot of time to get the old pool out of the ground because it had to be cut with torches by hand. The steel was about 3/8″ thick and had “I” beams every ten feet! It was quite a process! We then filled and compacted the ground. The new pool was cut and then formed with concrete. We had to wait for the perfect weather to put the finish on the interior of the pool. Just a few drops of rain could have ruined it. We are now working on the the hot tub, fencing, and the pump room. We have everything lined up to break ground on the pool house and restrooms in the next few weeks. We are working as quickly as we can to open the pool but want to make sure everything is perfect when we welcome our guests to use it. Check back for more updates soon!
