I have not been on the site in a while. Thank you for the birthday wishes.

Great. We would love to have you. I will be putting up a list of requests soon and will put you in a Treehouse.

Well, another one is in the books. I am sorry that I have been so slow in getting this post out there. CF22 was a huge success in my opinion. All cabins were occupied except for a Treehouse or two. We were fortunate to welcome three new couples to Cabin 11. We are very hopeful that they will return for next year. The Stonewood Cabins staff did an excellent job of preparing for and hosting again. This was the third year for the Saturday night event in the Yard and it terrific. We are hoping it will continue as an annual CF event. We also had a touching and memorable time of remembrance for several of our Carver friends that we have lost in the last few years. We honored the memories of Wayne King, Gary Gore, Eddie Mackiewicz and George Daniels. Please join me in reaching out to Mike and his staff with words of appreciation for another great year.

Carverfest Cabin Reservation Rules and Guidelines The following is an attempt to update and state more simply and succinctly the guidelines going forward. The changes are intended to protect previous attenders but also leave room for newcomers to attend and establish their claim for future years. 1. Members who have rented a cabin the previous year for a stay of at 7 or more nights, of the official 14 Carverfest nights, will have the undisputed right to the same cabin the following year as long as a stay of 7 or more nights is again planned. The intent to exercise this right must be communicated by March 1 of the upcoming year. 2. Generally if a member skips a year, said member will lose their rights under this Rule. Exceptions may be granted for severe health conditions, health concerns or other extreme and unusual circumstances. 3. Members who have rented a cabin the previous year for a stay of at least 7 or more nights, of the official 14 Carverfest nights, will have the right to claim any other cabin that meets any of the following criteria assuming a stay of 7 or more nights is again planned, a. The cabin was empty the previous year b. The cabin was occupied for fewer than 7 nights of the official 14 Carverfest nights the previous year. c. The previous year occupant is moving to another cabin or has declared they will not exercise their rights under Rule 1. 3. In the event Rule 2 applies, precedence will be given on a first request basis. Request must be made in a public post to the Carverfest Reservations thread or communicated to the designated coordinator who will in turn post in the Carverfest Cabin Reservations thread. (added for those that might not have the ability or desire to visit the forum) 4. It is important that we have some rules and guidelines but the over riding intent is to protect members that have stayed for any period of time the previous year. They will have the right to any otherwise unspoken for cabin for the same time period if is not claimed under Rule 1 or Rule 2. In other words a newcomer will not take precedence over a prior year attender under any circumstance. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING THE TREEHOUSES AND LOFTS Music in the Lofts must be kept very low unless all three lofts are occupied by our group. It is our general consensus that the only pecking order that exists is one of common sense. Complete consideration will be given to previous year cabin occupants. Previous occupants will be given sufficient time to state to their intentions to attend again before a cabin is allotted to a newcomer. There have been issues in previous years with loud music in the Treehouses. Going forward the rule concerning systems in the Lofts and Treehouse units will be strictly enforced. Unless all Treehouse units are occupied by our group no music loud enough to be heard in adjacent units will be allowed. The same rule applies to the lofts. Music in the Treehouse rentals must be kept very low unless all four Treehouse units are occupied by our group. Edited October 23, 2021 by sea

The next Carverfest will be held September 6 through September 20, 2023. We will again be hosted by Watershed Resort (Stonewood Cabins) just outside of Bryson City NC. Watershed Resort

A time of Remembrance for Our Lost Friends. Please join us Tuesday September 13, about 8:30 PM, for a joyful time of reflection and story telling. In the past several years we have lost three of our dear Carverfest family. We will gather and lift a toast to Gary Gore, Wayne King and Eddie Mackiewicz. I know that many of you have fond memories to share and stories to tell. We will gather around the for pit at the lofts. Please join us.

Now we can firm up our plans. We will host everyone for a Shrimp Boil at Cabin 8, 7PM on Monday September 12. Look forward to seeing all of you.

Some one mentioned to me they had not ordered because the link did not show any XL available. This link is for Color selection only. I am sure our screen printer orders from some other distributors. Don’t let this deter orders, Ed

One more week to place orders. Thanks.

Thanks for the update, Jim.

Only a couple of weeks left to place orders. Thank you to those that have already ordered. Ed

There has not been any talk of a project this year but if you are attending and willing to organize then go for it. 🙂

We probably will not know her schedule until early to mid-August. We are definitely going to have our get together just don't know the date yet.
