 2016 RESERVATIONS OPEN OCTOBER 15, 2015  
Hi Folks,

Another Season has come and gone. This was OUR 20th summer at Moon Lake. 
That’s every summer since 1994 except 1995 & 1996.  Boy, are we getting old!

2015 was a good season.  We hope you can say the same about your summer and your
visit here if you were able to come.

To Recap 2015:
- There was LOTS of water in the lake and mostly agreeable weather and fishing. 
- The Forest Service initiated a long-planned road improvement project from the
Forest boundary to Moon Lake which includes widening and repaving. 
This will hopefully be completed by next Spring. 
-The Lodge and Cabins closed mid-September and the Crew spent a few weeks doing
maintenance and improvements that will hopefully make your next visit even better.

That brings us to HOW AND WHEN TO MAKE CABIN RESERVATIONS FOR 2016
Here's the Scoop...
 
1) JULIE WILL START TAKING PHONE RESERVATIONS AT 8AM (MST) on
Thursday, October 15th at our Colorado number--(970)731-9906.

2)  As always, Reservations will be handled on a FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED basis.
PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO "LIVE" PHONE CALLS.  On the 15th, you can leave a
message if the line is busy and we'll call back ASAP, but that may not be until the
next day!  Otherwise, keep trying to get through if you're PATIENT and DETERMINED! 

3) GET A JUMP START - You CAN send a reservation REQUEST via our website
"Webervations" system, starting Monday, October 12th.
*REMEMBER! This Online Request IS NOT a Confirmed RESERVATION!!!!!!
This is ONLY A REQUEST! and you STILL MUST SPEAK TO JULIE
on or after October 15th to confirm.  Many restrictions apply.
Julie will TRY to review these REQUESTS in advance and let you know of any
POLICY issues that would cause rejection of your reservation.  This will
give you a chance to come up with an alternative before the October 15th
reservation opening date,
*REMEMBER, it is ALWAYS RECOMMENDED to have a SECOND CHOICE of dates and cabins, if
possible!

4)  The 2016 SEASON OPENS on Friday, May 27 and CLOSES--Monday, September 12.  
Note:  The Resort will briefly close for 3 days--5/31-6/2 for Spring “Fine-Tuning”.
ALSO:  The Weekend of September 16 & 17 is POTENTIALLY available for a Private Party
or Wedding that would book the entire Resort.

5)  In 2016, there will be a $10 per night rate increase for all Cabins.
See link for rates:  http://moonlakeresort.com/cabins.html
Our last rate increase took place in 2013.  We hope that YOU understand that OUR
operating costs, unfortunately, keep going up annually. 

6)  CREDIT CARDS are the PREFERRED OPTION for Deposit Payment on ALL reservations
EXCEPT larger groups. 
*You MUST enter card information ONLINE to have this option.

CREDIT CARDS CANNOT BE TAKEN OVER THE PHONE
for reservations more than 30 days prior to arrival.  See link for details:
http://www.webervations.com/magic-scripts/resbook.asp?memberid=moonlake1

7) CANCELLATION POLICY is the same as last year. The minimum cancellation
charge per cabin is $50. Full forfeit still applies to reservations cancelled within
30 days for individual stays and within 90 days for groups. See link for details:

8) PET POLICY.  You MUST REGISTER your pet(s) at CHECK-IN to insure that everyone is
aware of the Resort "PET POLICY".
PRIOR TO BOOKING-- PLEASE Review our website Pet Policy: 
http://moonlakeresort.com/faqs.html#pets 
and ADVISE YOUR ACCOMPANYING FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO DO THE SAME.
NOTES:
Please limit dogs to 2 per cabin unless prior approval has been given.
There is STILL NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE for pets but if your pet damages the cabin or
leaves it excessively hairy or dirty—Repair and Cleaning fees WILL APPLY!
MOST IMPORTANTLY—
ALL DOGS MUST BE LEASHED & NOT PERMITTED TO BARK EXCESSIVELY ON RESORT PROPERTY!
