Helene Recovery and Update
Montreat and WNC has been significantly impacted by Tropical Storm Helene. The lodge had several inches of storm water incursion through all 1st floor spaces including 8 guest rooms, hallway, office, lobby, kitchen, and dining room. Thanks to a group from Greensboro, all carpets have been removed and the back patio has been cleared of mud and debris. We still are in process of determining the extent of hidden damage from the water incursion into walls, floor, etc... Once we have this information, we will have a clearer idea of what will be needed to fully re-open for guests.
All guest groups have been postponed until January 2025. We are in process of contacting all groups and individuals to process changes and adjust reservations as appropriate. Please be patient with us as we work through this difficult time.
We are pleased to report that all WBL staff are safe and have experienced minor storm damage at their homes. We do have several staff members who have extended family who have lost their homes. Our prayers and support are ongoing. It is our intention to continue to employ all staff at their standard rates of pay until we are able to resume full business operations.
We welcome any financial support you might provide as William Black Lodge seeks to move forward through yet another challenging event. If you have made a reservation that was cancelled due to the storm, you can donate your deposit as a gift to the lodge. If you wish your deposit be returned, this will be processed as soon as technically possible.
Groups and individuals with reservations in November, December will be updated to the status of operations at the time of your event. Again, this will occur as soon as technically possible.
WBL also appreciates any financial donation to help during this challenging time. Currently you can make your reservation by check - please send to William Black Lodge - P.O. Box 819 Montreat, NC 28757. All donations are tax deductible.
We appreciate your prayers and support.
Peace -
Rev. Tommy Brown, Director William Black Lodge
