I have recently posted a file in the file section our CF2020 agreement with the Watershed Resort owners. Please take note that we renting directly from the owners. DO NOT contact the Watershed Rental company we have dealt with in the past. The website can be used for reference but DO NOT communicate with them through the website either. I also posted a file with some information concerning the optional travel insurance. I will include the agreement below as well. Carverfest Agreement for September 2020 The following properties on the resort are excluded from this agreement: Watershed 3, Watershed 5 and Watershed Pointe D. Dates of stay will be September 9th - 23rd. Watershed Resort will try to accommodate any early arrivals or extended stays before or after the departure date based on availability. Discounts are applicable for dates from September 7th through September 30th only. However, only September 9th through September 23rd are blocked out. If days before or after are available at booking time they may be booked with the discount if the nights fall in from September 7th to September 30th window. Standard LDW, Housekeeping, pet and tax fees will still apply. Reservations for available nights within the September 7th – 30th will receive the following discounts: 1-8 nights – 40% 9-13 nights – 48% 14 days or more – 54% Watershed Resort agrees to hold all other properties for Carverfest bookings until June 1, 2020. A non-refundable deposit of 50% is due at the time of reservation. Play Travel Protection CFAR can be purchased at the time of the reservation to protect the deposit. Balance of the reservation is due by July 31, 2020. Carverfest group agrees to have one member responsible for the reservation of each cabin. Ed Atkins agrees to provide a spreadsheet by cabin of the responsible person. Carverfest guests will coordinate with David Dean to make their reservation. His contact information is 828-736-4792 or davidmdean1226@gmail.com. Watershed Resort will have housekeeping and maintenance staff on site throughout the Carverfest group stay. Watershed Resort will provide mid-stay housekeeping and maintenance services for each 5 days of stay at no additional cost, which includes changing of linens and towels, freshening up of living spaces, garbage disposal, replenishment of amenities including wood, propane, paper goods and toiletries. Watershed resort will not be responsible for kitchen areas during the Carverfest group stay. Watershed Resort will provide live entertainment and refreshments Friday or Saturday the last weekend of the Carverfest stay at the Yard

Thank you, Don.

We are very close to terms for this year's rates. Longer stays are up a little bit while shorter stays, a weekend to 10 days, are generally down a little. You will notice that Cabins 3,5, and Watershed Pointe have been removed from the list. These are not available to our group. Right now if everyone follows through (I hope) we only have Cabins 1, 6 and 11 available. Please reach out to previous attendees as well as newbies. Let's try to fill the rest up. Look in the files section and you can download an Excel spreadsheet that will allow you to calculate your bottom line cost for your Cabin for the desired days you are attending. PM me with your cabin selection and dates if you can not get this to work. I will calculate cost and PM back to you. I will be posting the contact information to proceed with reservations tonight or tomorrow. Cabins will be held until June 1 before being offered to general public. A 50% deposit will be required when reservations are made. The balance is to be paid in full by July 31. The deposit and payment is non-refundable unless travel insurance is purchased. I am trying to get details on the price and terms of coverage and will post.

I have only had one response. The reason I need to see some of these is inconsistency on the part of Watershed in the past. It looks like some people are paying reservation fees and cleaning fees and some are not.

Still working. It would help me to get copies of 2018 and 2019 rental contracts. Please attach to a PM to me if you are willing to share. Thanks.

Yes. Perhaps. This was before the event was lengthened to 14 days but it helps. Thanks.

I had some correspondence with the new owners today. We are getting closer to having rates and procedures for making reservations. I have asked for clarification but the draft agreement I was sent excludes Cabins 3, 5 and Watershed Pointe (the new one). I think this is because these are not owned by the Drinkwaters. I will communicate once I have clarification. This process has been slowed down by the fact that we do not have any documentation of the old rate structure because it was referenced somewhere on the other site. I did find this today from an old thread on this forum. I am going to provide to the new owners. I know it is a long shot but does anyone have a copy of the rate explantion that was on carveraudio? Stay 2-4 Nights: 1 Night Free Stay 5-9 Nights: 2 Nights Free Stay 10-13 Nights: 3 Nights Free Stay 14 or More Nights: 5 Nights Free

There is one still open. I will put your name on it.

Unfortunately I have learned that Tammy will not be able to attend and occupy one of the lofts. I am still hopeful that she will make it up for a long weekend and stay in Cabin 8 with us. For this reason, I am moving Jerry and Nikki to the lofts which was their first choice. This will create an open Treehouse.

As far as I know Treehouse C was empty las year. I will put you down for it.

Welcome JerryJ12 to the Carverfest Soundroom!!!!

Welcome Randi to the soundroom!!

Welcome to all of our new members. The latest is Bob and Bob and Carol. Treehouse dwellers. All should help spread the work to previous CF attendees to join here.

Russ (Unclemeat) emailed and ask me to put a hold on Treehouse C. Bob and Carol contacted me yesterday and confirmed that they were planning on Treehouse B again.

Please reach out to him and encourage them to attend. My last conversation with him did not sound promising. I hope they end up coming.

I just posted a new topic called Reservation List. This is a locked thread that I will update as people express interest or make reservation. Keep posting to this topic and I will update the locked thread. I am still waiting to hear back from the cabin owners concerning reservation procedures. I am pretty sure it will be in the next few days.

This will be a continually updated cabin listing. You cannot post to this topic. To express interest in a cabin or discuss reservation related issue.....post to the Reservation Discussion topic.
