Hotel Washburn

Today I blog to you live from the state's premier 5 star resort in Monticello Utah. Situated below the picturesque "horse mountain," Hotel Washburn can boast the highest rate of return visitors in all of Utah. And once you know all the amazing ammenities of this establishment it is not the least surprising that guests return as often as schedules allow. In fact there is hardly a weekend that goes by that all the rooms are not completely booked! Some of the aforementioned ammenities include the following:

*A rousing wake-up call as early as 12:00 noon.

*Made to order comfort-food for every meal. I suggest the waffles.

*Pristine mountain air.

*The aroma of a real wood-burning stove.

*A museum exhibit entitled, "Fashion Through The Decades-A Look Back At What The Washburn Girls Wore." (A must see and terribly moving.)

*An entire cupboard devoted entirely to sweet treats, and if you time your visit right-around Christmas or Father's day-those sweets will undoubtely contain See's Chocolates.

*An assortment of activities ranging from reading to napping to learning to cook. And I dare you to deny the activities director, one Spenser Simpson, when he graciously invites you to a card game or two.

In fact things have been going so well here at Hotel Washburn, that they have recently had to expand by "securing" up to three additional rooms at the adjacent Hotel Chapman and four additional rooms at Hotel Simpson located only 15 minutes south in Blanding Utah.

I can think of no better way for this blogger to ring in the new year than a stay here and I highly recommend a visit here to everyone-that is if you can get a reservation.

Happy 2008
