All applications submitted during this time frame will have equal access for selection. 

Requests received after July 8, 2024 will NOT be included in the initial lottery and will be placed on our waitlist.  

Guests calling in for reservations will be asked to complete the online form to ensure fairness and consistency in the process.  Any duplicate entries will be removed.  

There is no advantage to early registration as all names are entered into a random lottery for the reservation selection. 

On Tuesday, July 9, 2024, names will be randomly selected from the lottery registration for reservations.  Those guest names selected can expect to receive an email from our reservations department starting Tuesday, July 9, 2024 to confirm their reservation.  If an individual does not respond within 24 hours, the request will go on our waitlist and we will move forward with the next guest.  All emails will be sent no later than Friday, July 26, 2024.

Once the hotel is fully committed, all remaining reservation requests will be placed on our waitlist, which is managed throughout the season.  All waitlisted guests will receive an email notification from our reservations department confirming this status.
