We would stay there years ago, check in then hit the all you could eat and drink champagne brunch. They had a great scotch selection also. I had gold claims a few miles up Patrick creek years ago also.
We would like to end the week with some great news!
We get asked about the status of Patrick Creek Lodge all the time, and it is time for an update. On Wednesday the ABC License that will allow the new owners to open the bar and restaurant FINALLY cleared escrow. Although a huge step, it will still be at least another 4-6 weeks before the permit is actually issued from the state.
Some may also not know but the land that the lodge sits on is actually leased to the Forest Service. This permit and lease has also not been easy to obtain in any manner. Another permit from the health department and the insurance. These are just the literal tip of the iceberg of hurdles that the new owners have had to jump over in taking on the historic lodge, obtaining ownership in February, and not being able to open.
So if you have been wondering and maybe even frustrated that the lodge hasn't opened, we can tell you, the new owners have been right along with you. Taking on a massive lodge that you essentially cannot operate and generate any revenue before all of these permits are all in place, is not for anyone who would not dedicate themselves fully, fighting for each step of this intense process every step of the way.
We can can assure you that the lodge we all love will be open soon, although it may seem like not soon enough, we have to be patient and continue to support not only the lodge, but also its brave new owners. You can bet Bayside will continue to be in their corner, and we know our amazing community will too!
