Passing the Torch!





                                                                    
Dear Friends,
It is with great Joy and a little Sadness that we introduce to you the Future Owners of Moon Lake Resort, Yvonne and Greg Gardner. We have been working with the Gardners regarding the purchase of the Resort since last May. They are very excited to take over operations and meet all of you.  The official Passing of the Torch is expected sometime mid to late November. We will be working closely with Yvonne and Greg to ensure that your next Moon Lake visit is every bit as enjoyable as your last. 

In 2020 you will find plenty of your Old Favorite Things and some New Fun Surprises!

Bookings for the Coming Season, 2020, will commence on Monday, October 14 for groups of 3 or more Cabins
and on Tuesday, October 15 for any size reservation.
Julie, Emily and Yvonne will be handling the phones on opening days.
For more details about reserving, see our “Booking for 2020” email sent October 9th  or on our “What’s New” page http://whatsnewatmoonlakeresort.blogspot.com/

Greg and Yvonne will have a new email address to handle future Resort business, this will be available soon.  In the meantime, Bill and Julie will continue to use resortmail@moonlakeresort.com if you wish to contact us.

Below you will find a little bio telling you about the Gardners and what has drawn them to Moon Lake Resort. 

We wish Yvonne and Greg to be blessed with the same wonderful friendships that we have experienced here.  
Thanks for Loving Moon Lake, and Us, these past 24 Seasons!

Gratefully
Bill, Julie and Jeff Reardon



About Yvonne and Greg Gardner

Greg is a Uinta Basin lifer having spent a portion of his life in either Vernal, Roosevelt, or Neola. Shortly after high school, he went on a mission for his church for two years then joined the military reserves when he got back, and then went off to college in Logan, Utah. After a year on campus, Greg returned to Roosevelt to finish up his business degree and eventually purchased a house in Neola where he was closer to the mountains he loves. Soon after, he and Yvonne (high school sweethearts) reconnected and got married. Greg loves the out-of-doors and spends his spare time, hiking, backpacking, hunting, fishing, camping and generally exploring and enjoying the High Uintas, of Utah.
Yvonne grew up in Roosevelt and graduated from Union High School. She left the Uintah Basin to play volleyball for a college in Southern California. She then married and lived in Los Angeles, California for 8 years, went through a divorce and moved back to Vernal, Utah. Greg and Yvonne had dated in high school before he left for his mission and were able to get back together and have been married now for 24 years and raised 8 children. They love the time they get to spend in the mountains and are very excited for their new adventure.
Greg and Yvonne have owned and operated many businesses in the area over the years and their dream has long been to own and operate a resort in the mountains.  They have been watching and waiting for the right time—and this year is it!

Booking for 2020

 
It has already been almost a month since we closed for 
the season.  Time has flown, we have been busy everyday,
catching up on things we are unable to do while we are
open. The Crew has been doing painting, trail and fire
pit rehab, Cabin maintenance, and general cleaning up.  
Truth be told, we also spent a little time enjoying 
this place we call home!
 
As always, when one season ends, it is time to start 
thinking about the next. Sorry if we have kept you 
waiting.  If you are already looking forward to sitting
around the campfire in 2020--here is the scoop:

minimize frustration for all – we will limit calls 
on the first day (October 14) to include GROUPS of 3 
or more Cabins.
 
*On October 15 -- calls for any size reservation
 will be accepted.

TIPS-  As always, Reservations will be handled on a 
FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED basis by phone at the Moon 
Lake number (435-454-3142).
 
1) GET A JUMP START - Send a reservation REQUEST via 
our online system starting Friday evening, October 11. 
This is helpful in expediting the booking process for 
most guests.https://v2.reservationkey.com/23448/reserve/c
 
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 14 & OCTOBER 15 reservation opening date*.
 
*REMEMBER! This Online REQUEST IS NOT a Confirmed 
Reservation!!!!!! This is ONLY A REQUEST!
It is not a confirmed reservation until you have spoken
to Julie or Emily OR receive an Email confirming your 
booking on or after October 14. 
 
2) In Advance--please review our Deposit/Cancellation 
Policies: http://www.moonlakeresort.com/faq/ 
3) USUALLY, Reservations that include both Friday & 
Saturday will require a 3rd night (Sunday or Thursday).
 
4) Once bookings have begun, Reservation requests that 
leave a single night opening between already booked 
stays will likely not be accepted.
(Single night stays are hard to book and given our 
limited season, we cannot afford to have un-rentable 
nights during the peak of it). 
View our online calendar
starting October 14, to see potential conflicts.
https://v2.reservationkey.com/23448/reserve/c 
 
5) After making your request--check your email 
frequently. If possible, we will communicate this way 
first instead of by phone.
 
6) On October 14 & October 15, PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN 
TO "LIVE" PHONE CALLS but you can leave a message if 
the line is busy. NOTE: the number to call is 
(435)454-3142. We'll call back or email ASAP, but in 
some cases, that may not be until the next day. 
Keep trying to get through if you're able. 
Remember, it is always recommended to have a second 
or even 3rd choice of dates and cabins, if possible.

7) CREDIT CARD payment* for deposit is PREFERRED for 
all reservations EXCEPT larger groups. 
(Hint when making your reservation request, 
please provide a credit card that you will want to use 
for your reservation deposit.  Changing the card number
later is possible but complicated.) Be assured that 
your card will not be charged until you have given
express permission for us to do so.  
 
*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. 
https://v2.reservationkey.com/23448/reserve/c

Resort Closing One Month from TODAY!




Believe it or not, Fall is coming fast. Moon Lake Resort will close for the 2019 season on Monday September 9th. 
If you are ready for a visit, don’t wait, the calendar is ticking.

Off Peak Cabin rates will go into  effect on Sunday August 18th, ($65-$169 per night)   
There are still some nice openings including cancellations for the favorite Cabins 23 and 24!

Good snow pack last winter has given us a beautiful full lake.

Right now the level is sitting at 97 percent of capacity!

SUMMER'S HERE!



 Well, let's clarify that.  Friday, June 21st was the official First Day of Summer, 2019.
But it seems as though the mountains didn't get the memo, so a little snow and Wintry temperatures snuck in while the door was open to the Season change.  Thankfully, once Spring realized it was heading in the wrong direction, it course corrected back toward Summer with a week plus of sunny 70 degree weather forecast from here and beyond.  FINALLY!
So, now we're on track for SUMMER FUN with warmer temps,  a full lake, good fishing and blue skies ahead.
Hope to see you soon!
