"The high-elevation lodge experienced a destructive accidental fire that consumed the main A-frame structure early one morning, originating in a storage area under the deck. Management organized relief and recovery measures for displaced staff and guests: they held a job fair to relocate employees to sister properties in order to retain the team, offered affected event planners alternative venues and moved events as needed, and returned deposits. The cabins are scheduled to reopen on Friday, September 24 with a continental breakfast, and guests staying in the event cabin will receive an in-room happy hour with wine and cheese while permanent food-service solutions are being developed." - Susan Stapleton
