McReynolds Blacktail Cabins

Greetings from warm and breezy Mexico. Lyle has a birthday coming up, and we decided months ago to make sure he got to celebrate with his toes in the sand (and his head in a book). As much as we all wanted the snow, it will be there when we return the second week in February. Meanwhile we'll soak up some vitamin D and some moisture, and seek some family fun. Don't hesitate to email us- we can make reservations and answer questions from here. Cheers! Amy, Lyle, Brie and Lexi

We wish and danced and prayed and complained, and it came! Snow! We must have gotten at least three feet in as many days, and it sounds like there are more storms lined up behind that one. So for all those looking for some snow to play in, come on out!

The Cross Country Skiing and Snow Shoeing is great in the park. I took this picture on a trip up to Taggart Lake Christmas Eve. So different than the summer. We headed straight to Dornan's afterwards for a "Hot Toddy" and to share our stories of our Bull Moose Encounter. Not a bad way to spend a vacation!

Taken from Kelly, South East from the cabins. It was 17 below zero, but so beautiful! On days like these we suggest "wearing a house", though it is surprising how warm 0 degrees feels with the sun on you!

All of us McReynolds send our wishes for a Happy New Year. Winter is here, and we are looking forward to some good skiing in the weeks to come. We have received quite a lot of snow in the last two days in the mountains - unfortunately it was very wet in the valley, so the driveway is a little slick. We decided to keep the West Cabin open this winter for the occasional winter guest. We had a couple over Christmas, and a couple more are in for New Years and a couple weeks in February. If you know of anyone who would like to have a winter retreat North of town, have them email!

It has been many years since we raised our rates, and are finding we are under the average in our category. Beginning November 1st 2011 our rates will be $320 plus tax per night. If you book before November 1st we will grandfather you in to the 2011 rates for one more year. Thanks for understanding and we look forward to hearing from you! Amy & Lyle

We are able to offer the West Cabin for rent during October this year. While the leaves will not last too much longer, the weather is usually nice through the middle of the month, and the valley is quiet and peaceful. Even when the weather is cool and wet, the West Cabin is a beautiful space to relax, read, write or just recharge. Please contact us if you are interested in a long weekend or more this Fall. We are considering opening it for the month of December as well at the request of a couple summer guests.
