Tidbits from Tim
Tim Hackett - Owner, Long Beach Lodge Resort
October 2024
It is truly fascinating how we experience such distinct weather on the coast throughout the seasons, ranging from calm summer days with small seas to incredible winter storms. The lodge is the perfect place to witness a fierce winter storm. It is a sight to behold as massive waves crash against the shore, so close to the lodge that they almost seem to threaten to wash us away! Take the opportunity to enjoy these incredible events fireside, from the cozy comfort of your guest room or our Great Room.
The number of storms seems to vary each year, and this season we’ve already experienced four major storms, including one that may be the largest we’ve ever seen, highlighting the potential impact of climate change.
After a storm, it’s always fun to beachcomb—it's amazing what gets washed up!
Take a break before the holiday season, relax, and rejuvenate. Enjoy a therapeutic massage in our beautiful Rainforest Spa with one of our experienced RMTs, or unwind in our hot pool tucked in the woods. Our sauna awaits, and you can even have a game of pool with a cold beer and a hot dog! Our chef has designed a scrumptious winter menu, perfect for enjoying after Happy Hour in The Great Room.
I want to recognize our dedicated maintenance team, who work tirelessly during our annual closure to handle repairs and maintenance that can't be done while we have guests. Throughout the rest of the year, they are always hard at work keeping the resort running smoothly and assisting our valued guests when needed. We strive to keep the resort and property in top-notch condition, and we are currently in the process of redecorating our rooms and cottages.
We initially closed for the holiday season after COVID to give our employees a much-needed break following two very challenging years. During the pandemic, many of our staff, who were not local residents, were unable to travel to visit family and friends. So, the closure gave everyone a chance to rest and reconnect. Looking back, we've realized just how much we miss the excitement of the holiday season—the decorating, preparing special feasts, and all the wonderful fun! That’s why we’re excited to share that we’ll be reopening for the holidays next year, ready to celebrate with you in full festive spirit!
Best wishes,
Tim
