Letter from the Assistant General Manager
Greetings from your family at the Grand Timber Lodge!
In the blink of an eye, summer has come and gone, and we are eager for another winter season! It is with that same blink that some of us will reflect back on the past 20 years of time spent with our families at Grand Timber Lodge. It was 20 years ago in 1999 that Building 1 opened for the first time; our doors have been open every day since. It was just one day after our grand opening that the Columbine High School shooting took place. Some of us will remember bracing for the Y2K bug on New Year’s Eve, and watching the premiere of SpongeBob or Lance Armstrong winning his first Tour de France. You may have called to reserve your owner week on your Nokia 3310 cell phone, while mastering the game of Snake.
Whether you have been an owner for 20 years, or enjoyed your first stay this year, we know that we all share a common desire to spend the next 20 years with our families enjoying the benefits of ownership. At the resort, this means we are here completing routine maintenance, like painting the building exteriors or replacing windows, to ensure the structural integrity of the buildings. We are also selecting new carpeting and furniture that updates the appearance of the resort while staying true to the mountain lodge that defines Grand Timber.
Twenty years in, we are not slowing down, and we’re excited to welcome you home for your next vacation!
Remember, the Grand Timber Lodge Owners Association Annual Meeting is being held on October 19 at 1:00 pm, followed by a reception at The Boot. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Peggy Helfrich at phelfrich@grandtimber.com so we can ensure that there is adequate seating.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions on how to make Grand Timber Lodge a better place for you and your family. You may always send ideas to jstuhr@grandtimber.com for consideration!

Grand Timber Lodge, Assistant General Manager
