Chateau Montebello Pictures

Pictures: as promised in my post from last night.

First: a view of the hotel facing southwest. Best I can do from the ground to show the size of the place... honestly doesn't do it justice.

Second: a view down to the lobby from the top mezzanine. Dig the HUGE six-sided fireplace! It's literally the center-post of the room.

Third: A shot of the main coach entrance, showing some of the log detail.

Lastly: a closer-up view of the log construction.
FACTOID: The Chateau Montebello is the largest log-constructed building in the world.

Visit to the Chateau

We went to the Chateau Montebello today to put our deposit down for the wedding, reception and for the horse & carriage. Below is some slightly blurry video (sorry, shooting with my still camera) showing the inside of the place. Largest log structure in the world... pretty impressive still, though I've been there dozens of times in my life.




Video!! HHhhhmmmmmm.... seems YouTube stretched the video kinda funny, as it was in a vertical position....

I'll post some photos too, when I sort through what I took today.

Ciao!
