The three photo albums below are very special to Debbie and me and we wanted to share them with you.
Every year we celebrate Thanksgiving and the beginning of the holiday season at The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation, at Lake Oconee.
It is the event we look forward to all year.
Beginning with the Lighting of The Lodge and the arrival of Santa on Thanksgiving eve…it is a magical time for us.
The Thanksgiving day Feast is over-the-top, complete with Dueling Chefs on Big Screens and a Pastry Chef creating a work of art from chocolate.
The third album is just a little scenery taken from the sitting area the back of our room. We always try to get room 108 for the view.
Sadie is in heaven with all of the attention she gets from adults and children. That dog is a real people-puppy.
We’ve gotten to know everyone since we’ve been coming here since they opened. The general manager,Steven Freund, has become a friend as well as an incredibly gracious host. The staff, is all about customer service…we’ve become friends with the Valets, The Bell Staff, The Concierges, The Desk Staff, The Chefs, and the Restaurant Employees. It’s like coming home to friends and family. Friendliness is genuine and the attitude is always positive.
The employees have confided to us that Steven Freund is an excellent motivator and teaches customer service continually.
We come here several times a year now. It is priced much more reasonably than one might expect for what you receive. The summer is a different but equally good experience being right on the lake.
Okay, this is our place and our experience. We wanted to share it with you in that spirit. Please leave your comments. JIM
