Welcome 2012

28 Jan

As the new year begins I would like to thank you all for making Stone Creek Manor a huge success!   I woke up early this morning thinking about the changes we have made to the property.   Painting and Landscaping are the two big items thus far since we closed in December.  

Social Media is a big thing now in our marketing world.   Take a peek at our “Facebook Page” !   Stone Creek Manor welcomes your feedback and be sure to “like us”   or “Become our Fan”.   

Garrison Creek Cellars is our “Sister Winery”.  We feel so lucky to have Garrison Creek Cellars take such good care of our guests for their special wine tasting events.   Barrel Tasting down in the Cave and the wine is superb!!!!   They are not open to the public, I just need to make the date for our guests.   www.garrisoncreekcellars.com    Check it out…  

Lastly,   We are now offering escorted wine tours in the Walla Walla Valley for those tourists visiting whom choose not to drive.   I have three wonderful driver’s who are available to help you on your Walla Walla Wine Discovery’s…

Thank you,

Christine

Hotel, Lodging, Inn, or Manor

29 Nov

Stone Creek Manor is all of the above!   Currently, we are decorating the Manor for the holiday’s.  Bringing out the Christmas Tree, putting up Christmas Lights and  listening to Holiday music inside the Manor and outside on the grounds. 

Holiday music makes it happen!   I was researching the internet this morning and I found that Stone Creek Manor is all of the above!    Come stay with us and you won’t be disappointed.

Apple Cup 2011

24 Nov

George and I always have diferent view points when it comes to Washington Football.   This weekend WSU plays Uof W in the annual Apple Cup.   (always Thanksgiving weekend or the weekend before Thanksgiving)   George will always root for
“the Cougs”  and I will root for “the Huskies”.    

Okay, the Huskies will have the advantage having the game played in Seattle at Century Link Field.   Offensive vs. Defensive.   Be sure to watch the game this weekend.  Who knows, maybe Brent Musburger will be our broadcaster!!!!    Go Huskies…..

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!     Enjoy your day..

Luxury

19 Nov

Stone Creek Manor is all about “luxury” and “spoiling my guests”! I have been able to provide for my guests the nicest amenities which are available. This includes: bath amenities, linens, furnishings, furniture etc. I am sensitive to ratings when people rate low on value.

A business trys to price itselft and the market reacts. Stone Creek Manor is not the “Holiday Inn Express” nor are we the “Hampton Inn”. Believe me I like both of these hotel chains. If you want to stay with us then you will realize we are a ” Step Above the Traditional Bed & Breakfast ” We are “Matchless”.

Almost Winter

17 Nov

Last night we had a “windy rainy night” in Walla Walla. I find it fascinating that during the day it is 30-34 degrees cold and crisp. Then, late in the evening it warms up to 58 degrees and the wind just blows through my back property! I really dislike these windstorms. The SouthEasterners……

Just woke up, having my coffee and then will go out and inspect the damages…..

Good Thing: Leaves are almost down.

Testing, Testing 1 2 3!

3 Sep

The past three weeks I was reassured by my right hand gal’s that they could run Stone Creek Manor without me… On a number of occassions  they did just fine.   Last week, I received a very nice email from one of our guests telling me about her experience at Stone Creek Manor!   It was not a positive one by any means.   I was just heart sick about this!   

My staff had let me down!   I know we all try to do the best we can, however, this was really disappointing to me.

A pledge to my guests!   If you don’t receive the 5 Star Treatment which you all deserve I want to be the first to hear about it!   I will make it happen for you….

I know you have choices and I can’t thank you enough for choosing “Stone Creek Manor” as your luxury lodging needs while visiting Walla Walla!
