What's the deal with the cabin? Is this price for us to have our own or is this for X number of people to share together? I'm hoping it's our own or the option is there so I can plan for this to be a weekend getaway for my wife and I while still playing with the group and meeting everyone. :)

I think I found the place we will be staying at.

Spacious Skies

Sleeps up to 30 people. The weekend we are there is the "Prime" season. $735+12.75% tax per night so that comes out to...

$829 total per night.
If 30 People stay there: $28 bucks per person per night
If 25 People stay there: $33 bucks per person per night
If 20 People stay there: $42 bucks per person per night

So we we only get 20 people to go that is still only $126 per person for 3 nights. Not bad at all. When you look into things a little bit more, most hotels/motels in the area go for $100-150 per night. If you stay in a $150 per night room with 4 people, it will cost $113 per person for the weekend. Wouldnt it be nicer to spend $13 bucks more and stay in a luxury cabin???

Amenities include:
6 Bedrooms
5 and 1/2 Bathrooms
Sleeps 30
Mountain Setting with views of the national forest
Hot Tub On Deck
Flat Screen Plasma TV's in living room and game room
DVD Players in every room
Master Bedroom with Jacuzzi Tub
Arcade Games in Game Room
CD/Stereo in Game Room
X-Box
2 Air Hockey Games
8 in 1 Game
Unlimited Movie Channels
4 King Size Beds
4 Queen over Queen Bunk Beds
Queen Sleeper Sofa
Stone Gas Fireplace
20" TV's With DVD Combo in all Bedrooms
High Speed Wireless Internet
Dishwasher
Grill
Free Local Phone Calls
Alarm Clock
Central Heat and Air
Pool Table

Kevin and I get one of the rooms with a King size bed...I'm claiming that room now so theres no fighting over rooms. :squint:

Umm.. ya. If I go, I will probably rent my own cabin. :)

A quick price quote shows between $500-600 if I go solo and have a cabin to myself with my wife. So odds are, I'll do that. I'm just waiting until you're 100% locked down on which area you're staying at so I can search for a place within reasonable and close distance to the large cabin where the party will be.

I dunno if i will want to be in a cabin with so many people... no offense to anyone ;).

Me and my friend from texas will be coming down for sure, so you can add a +1 next to my name. When i looked at the site, i think I am digging some of the 2 and 3 bedroom cabins. If a couple more people want to share, i think we could get a nice place, not as crowded for a good price.
