Regal Country Inn May Newsletter

MAY – Flowers & Green Grass

Spring is in full swing.  The crab apple trees are ready to bud out, the daffodils are blooming and all the other flowers are popping up every ware.

Load up that bike, Grab those hiking boots, Find that camera, Pack a great book or just come spend a few days.  The Inn is a great place to just kick back and relax.  Whatever your reason for needing a get away let us know and we can make it extra special.  Don’t forget that Dick can also cook some great food for you on the BBQ.

The BBQ and tables and chairs are on the deck and it is a great place to relax and enjoy the birds that are back for the summer while having a bite to eat or a great treat from the Ice Cream Parlour.  There are a number of great events and activities going on in the area including performances at the Historical Ironwood theatre.  If we can help put something together for you during your stay, please ask.
 
The inside of the Inn is also ready for your visit.  Those that have already been out to the waterfalls have enjoyed coming back to the Inn for a quiet card game with tea and cookies.  The Inn is large enough to accommodate a group, yet small enough to give each guest special attention.  We also offer a variety of accommodations for different levels of comfort

Our Ice Cream Parlour is open and enjoying a lot of attention from our guests.  The changeover to Chocolate Shoppe ice cream has really got the guests excited.  If you thought the Chocolate Zanzabar was good before, you are in for a real treat now.  We offer various food items, great desserts and can do other food with advance notice. For those of you who may have special food needs, let us know, we can accommodate most needs with a little advance notice.

New at the Inn – A Model Railroad has taken shape.  The original idea was to put it around the balcony, but too many problems would have to be overcome, so it is built in my office.   Guest who would like to see it or even work on it can just ask.  It will be a work in progress for sometime.

We are your headquarters for hiking on the North Country Trail
 
Check out the calendar of events, pick a time and come on up and enjoy the quiet, homey comfort of the Inn and sample some of life’s simple pleasures.

January
Winter White, New Year & Quiet Relaxation
January 1, 2011 We HAVE snow, mild temps and life can not get much better. The Skiing is fantastic and the Inn is your home away from home. You deserve a restful getaway.

Take the stress out of your Vacation.
Why not sleep in and let us make the rolls & coffee, or gourmet breakfast w/room service. While you’re out and about we will make the beds and clean the room. Return from a fun day outdoors and enjoy the many wondrous things in the Ice Cream Parlour.

The Inn is decorated for the winter season. The inside of the Inn is full of the sites of the holidays. The Trees & Lights, the winter village, the animated figures along with the many aromas of cookies, pies, cheesecakes and those morning rolls baking and fresh morning coffee will fill the senses. Guest consumed an awful lot of cookies during Christmas week. We might still have a few left.

Spend a great day Alpine or Nordic Skiing or riding the many miles of snowmobile trails. Come back to the Inn and enjoy a board or card game in the Parlour. Enjoy a great dessert, cookies and warm beverages. For your convenience we offer soup/sandwiches in the Parlour. Other great food items can be prearranged, Talk to chef Dick.

Don’t forget the many other activities in the area. Bowling, movies, the Historical Ironwood Theatre and great restaurants, all just a short drive from the Inn.

The newly redecorated Historical Hurley Room is really comfortable. The King size 4 poster cannon ball bed with the floral sheets and comforter take you back to late 1800’s when Lotta Morgan lived and than met her demise. Read the history and see if you can figure out WHO DONE IT?

The Study/Bedroom, with the rocker/reclines and queen bed is oh so relaxing. Slide a movie into the VCR, put your feet up and relax.

The Ironwood and Wakefield Historical Rooms give you a look back into the area history while making you feel totally relaxed. Read about these towns in the scrape books or the other local history documents in the rooms.
Our new Bessemer Historical Room has 2 full size beds to accommodate those who need a little more sleeping space. The scrape book will give you a look into Bessemer’s History.

The Victorian Rooms, with 2 full size beds and some antiques work very well for those who need a little more sleeping space and a few less amenities. These rooms along with the other main floor rooms include a gift novel. Take home a little quiet enjoyment when you have to leave.

We haven’t forgotten those on a limited budget or who have children, but want to enjoy the B&B experience. We have a few Country Rooms that will work great for you. 2 full size beds and all the other things to make you feel at home.

Our Ice Cream Parlour is open and enjoying a lot of attention from our guests. A cup of tea and a piece of cheesecake is a great way to end a day. We offer various food items, great desserts and can do other food with advance notice. For those of you who may have special food needs, let us know, we can accommodate most needs with a little advance notice.

Our new guest office area and internet access has gotten a little work out. We have been able to use WIFI from all the rooms and our hardwire connections in the office have been used by many a happy business traveler.

The Inn is a wonderful blend of the nice things of a motel and the great things of a Bed & Breakfast. With 17 available rooms, 4 different types and 6 price ranges, we can accommodate any budget or comfort level. We also have discount lift tickets for the 3 major resorts. If it’s a Quiet, Homey Relaxing place after a day in the outdoors, The Regal is that place.

Need help with your plans or what to do or may even where it is at. We have been here 21 years and know just about where everything is. Ask, we can help.

If you have a small group and need your own special place, give us a call. We can set up a wonderful getaway or retreat just for you.

Check out the calendar of events, pick a time and come on up and enjoy the quiet, homey comfort of the Inn and sample some of life’s simple pleasures.

December means snow in the U.P. and time to enjoy all those winter activities.

The Inn is decorated with trees, lights and figures, cookies are being baked and the Ice Cream Parlour has a lot of goodies to enjoy. Pick up something, set and relax in the Parlour or head for the fireside room and curl up with a good book or some conversation with other guests. Maybe you just want to settle into your room and tune out everything with some tea and cookies. What a great way to relax after a day outdoors.

We can also offer soup & sandwiches, sometimes chili, and cheesecake for those who like to treat themselves, with advance notice.

We also have puzzles, board games, & cards to check out.

Maybe a little shopping, a performance at the Historical Ironwood Theatre or researching local history.

The Ice Cream Parlour is starting to get decorated for Christmas and is a great place to test you skills with a board game or challenge someone to some cards. Got a few new puzzles that need to be put together. If you love to decorate for the Holidays, come to the Inn and join in with the decorating. Food could be on you agenda. Let Dick know if a tea would fit into your day or something special for dessert. Maybe a special breakfast or dinner.

OCTOBER
The Month of COLOR

COLOR - That is what October brings
We know that snow will be here, but when? For those who enjoy a little adventure and are flexible, this is a great time to enjoy the Western U.P. A hike to a waterfall, catching Lake Superior on a windy day, a bike ride through our scenic area or a quiet walk on the North Country Trail. Maybe a little shopping, a performance at the Historical Ironwood Theatre, take in one of the listed events or researching local history.

Back at the Inn a quiet time to read a book, test you skills with a board game, challenge someone to some cards or work on a puzzel. Food could be on you agenda. Let Dick know if a tea would fit into your day or something special for dessert. Maybe a special breakfast or dinner.

Maybe you just WANT TO RELAX.

The Regal Railroad is nearing completion, but there are still things to be built or painted. Maybe you just want to see all the details on the layout. Is there someone in that out house? Is that a still? The dog is eating the BBQ.

The Fall harvest is in full swing. Events and Orchards are a great way to spend a day.

Fall Colors are ahead of schedule. You can find spots of color with more along the lake shore. Check out our photo album for pictures.

Come and let us remove stress from your life.

August – Flowers, Green Grass and Warm Sunny Days

 

The Last month of OFFICIAL SUMMER, but not the end of all
the great things to see and do in the Western Upper
Peninsula of Michigan.  Most of our summer has been just idea, with
very few really hot days, but almost all have had cool nights.  The Inn is
ready to add to your pleasure with our famous quiet, comfort accommodations and
personal attention.  The next round of
flowers is now coming out.

 

With the fluctuating price of gas & the economy, we have
seen a big increase in the number of bicyclists this summer.   Many of our roads have nice shoulders for
riding and many of our roads have light traffic for most of the day.  We can help put together some nice rides from
the Inn to our attractions.

 

Our days are warm and sunny and the evenings are getting
cooler.  A wonderful time to enjoy a few
rounds of golf, a bike ride or a hike to a waterfall.  We have many Geocacheing & Letterbox
sites for you to try and locate.  There
are a lot of places to get that perfect photo for the photo album.  Hiking and waterfall visits let you see some
of the many acres of virgin timber the area still enjoys.

 

Come back to the Inn for
some BBQ on the deck or maybe just some great Ice Cream.

 

Give us a call and come find out why we love to live here.

Bond Falls is one of those “best kept secret” spots on the Western Upper Peninsula that you want to make sure you do not miss. This beautiful water fall is located on the middle branch of the Ontonagon River near Paulding. Although it does not get the “press” of more famous U.P. water falls, Bond Falls has a large following of admirers and had even been part of a calendar listing the most scenic natural places in the world!

Superior Falls - Extremely beautiful gorge. Access is moderately easy. Directions: From Hwy US 2 in Ironwood. Go North on Lake Rd. This is approximately 25 mile drive. You will see a marker on the road that says Superior Falls. Turn north (right) on that gravel road. Continue down the small hill to the parking lot. Walk down the road to the River Mouth and Lake Superior. Then walk upstream 1/3 mile to Superior Falls. Superior Dam Falls is a little further upstream. If you have time, stop at Little Girls Point Park for a picnic. You will see this park on Lake Road on your way to the Falls.
