The last of the snow is melting away from the lower reaches of the surrounding mountains to unveil the first spectacular summer At Nature's Door and Tonopalo. As of this writing final details are being completed At Nature's Door and all upgrades are finished at Tonopalo. Both destinations are open and your Innkeepers eagerly await your coming vacations.

Thanks very much for the patience that you have given us while we have addressed the items that have needed repairing, replacing or re-thinking. It has been a challenge for everyone since opening, and while patience has been tested there's been a lot of happiness going around. Based on our phone surveys and the comment cards you have returned, satisfaction levels are sitting at 4.7 out of five. So where does that 0.3 come in? The answer is in project completion and deficiencies. Today, we have addressed virtually all of those concerns. We will have taken care of such finishing touches and final street paving as soon as weather and logistics permit.
