On Monday, January 9th we had nine carvers from around New England carve 300 lb blocks of ice into clowns, dragons, fish, a margarita bar, angels and even a road runner. Over the years we have seen these sculptures melt in as little as a few days or last until the middle of March.

Return of the Pumpkin People to Jackson Village

They’re Baaack!  Yet another reason to visit beautiful Jackson Village.

On October 1st the Jackson area will be filled with dozens of Pumpkin People (or Animals).  Every year at this time local businesses, inns, restaurants, stores and private homes are adorned with these creative and entertaining displays.  Guests…and Papparazzi….. flock to the village specifically to catch a glimpse of these creations every year.  It’s always amazing to see what people come up with for ideas.  One of my favorites was a display of The Beatles walking down Abbey Road.  So what is The Wentworth doing this year?  I can’t tell you that one, you’ll have to come by and take a look.  Super secret oath has been taken by all employees!  I can tell you that in the past we have done displays such as Star Wars (wicked cool) and a Vampire Bride and Groom.  We can’t forget the one of Fritz and his little buddy Winston playing golf.

The judging will take place the week prior to Columbus Day Weekend.  Winners will be announced in time for all our visiting humans for the Columbus Day Weekend. People’s Choice voting will continue through October 20th.  Maps and ballots can be found at The Wentworth and most participating properties and also at the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce Office.

Come on down to take a look and of course we’d love a vote for People’s Choice!  See you soon.

Join The Wentworth For The Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour

I know you may say it’s too early to start thinking about winter and Christmas, but it’s never too early to start thinking about the Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour.

This is an event that happens every year in Jackson just after Thanksgiving and into the beginning of December.  The only way to reserve Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour tickets for the general public is by staying at a Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce member lodging property….like The Wentworth.

Riders will check in at Nestlenook Recereation Center where they will be greeted by Carolers and have an opportunity to visit Santa.  Prior to boarding they will receive their special Jingle Bell, their first Chocolate Treasure, hot chocolate and a festive bag to hold any uneated Chocolate Treasures.  Then they will board their Austrian Drawn Sleigh and be whisked away to at least 6 other participating properties…including The Wentworth!  At each property sleighs will be met by the Innkeeper, owner or representative, give an overview of that particular property and they will receive another decadent Chocolate Treasure.  Sleighs run from 11am to 4pm and each ride is approximately one hour long.

The Wentworth has put together a great package for this special adventure on the folowing dates: November 27th and 28th and December 4th, 5th, 11th, and 18th.  Our Bed and Breakfast rate for 2 adults is $138 which includes your room, a full American breakfast the next morning  and two tickets to the Jingle Bell Tour.  Our dinner package is $208 to include all that was just mentioned in addition to a four course meal for 2 adults.  Amazing rates for a magical event!

For more information please call The Wentworth front desk at 800-637-0013 and ask about availabilty for the Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour.

Starting to book for Summer Lunch Bus Tours

With all this unseasonably warm weather I can’t help but think of summer already!  I know I’m getting a little ahead of myself, but it’s never too early to start planning.  There are still plenty of dates still available.

This summer season, we would love to welcome all bus tours that will be up here in the area visiting, whether it is for  a shopping expedition, site seeing, hiking, etc.  What better why to unwind after a day of strenuous activity (yes shopping can definitely be strenuous) than on our comfortable deck sipping a nice summer cocktail, dining on an over-stuffed lobster roll all while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful views.

If you are planning a bus tour and would like more information, please contact Kathleen in the sales office at kathleen@thewentworth.com or by phoning 800-637-0013.  See you this summer!
