Home to six private, comfortably decorated guest suites, each with its own style and appeal. Located in
the heart of the village, you’re close enough to walk to all of the boutique shops, galleries and restaurants
for which this area is famous. All rooms have private entrances, private baths, high-speed wireless Internet
access, cable TV, refrigerators, and hair dryers. Several rooms have oversized, 2 person whirlpools. Spacious
decks offer large rockers overlooking the garden. Each room has individually controlled heat and A/C. A
continental breakfast each morning is just a part of the experience - the rest can be as private or social
as you choose.
Patron Tents are available at the Symphony
by the Lake at Chetola! While most of the
center section tents were retained by previous
owners, the Chamber has one available
tent in the center section. Several tents are
still available to the left and right of the center
lawn. These are excellent locations for
groups that prefer to enjoy the beauty of the
event without being too crowded. The view
of the symphony is not optimum in these areas
but the sound and the fireworks are still fabulous.
Tent packages begin at $700 for Chamber members
and include a table with cloth, chairs and 13 tickets
for you and your guests.
Contact Billie Rogers 295-7851 if you would like to
