Mike and Lola are taking a break!

Don't be alarmed by Mike's head wound. While working on the "empty" pool he decided to take a dive to the bottom.

Jeff is enjoying the worlds largest popcorn ball.

(He has just consumed 10,000 calories. He will have to bike an extra 4 hours--poor Jeff)

Mike & Jeff are finished.

The new sign is up! Be sure to check it out on your travels.

Cleaning interviews have begun. We will be hiring the best of the best for our special guests!!

The Gift Shop is up and running!!

THANK YOU PEGGY!!

I LOVE IT! :) :)

The Birthday Bash!!

Natalie and Jeff's B-Day Cake, YUM YUM!

(Will Jared get one of these??? May 23rd)

You will have to wait and see :)

Yes you've guessed it---THE BUGS ARE BACK!!

Don't forget the bug spray, you will need it.

If Mike would only put one of these in the lodge bathroom...hmmmmm~

Another New Addition~

Mike is hard at work re-modeling the lodge bathroom!!

So many new things to look forward to this summer. GO MIKE!!!

Natalie will be arriving next Wednesday!!

She is finishing up her finals at the University of Wisconsin Stout, and will be graduating December 2007 with her degree " B.S. Retail Merchandising and Management with a minor in Business." Only one more semester left!

A lot of work still needs to get done before the summer starts, and she is just thrilled to be coming back.

This will be Natalie's third summer working at Mantrap, but she has been coming to the resort as a guest for many years--even before the Wah family took it over 13 years ago!! Her familiarity and "guest perspective" just adds to the overall strength and success of Mantrap!!

She describes Mantrap Lodge as: "Her little piece of heaven."

The resort has been a part of her life as a family retreat for many years, and now it has grown into something truly special!!

Cheers for Mantrap~

Can You Feel the Heat?? It was another beautiful day at Mantrap!!

More progress is being made:

Dianne is hard at work making new curtains for the cabins.

Jeff is also helping her with assemblying the curtain rods.

Haven't heard anything on Mike lately~hummm, what could he be up too??

Come enjoy the view!!

This is the view guests can expect to have from the porch--how lovely!

Minnow Race Memories~How cute!!
