Your Bavarian Getaway
Come Enjoy The Holidays With Us
November 2006
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s beginning
to look a lot like Christmas in the magical Bavarian village
of Leavenworth, Washington. Fo our Christmas Lighting
Festival as the day turns into dusk, a lone lighted star
floats down the street and as it passes each shop the lights
magically appear everywhere. Huge trees in the park sparkle
with thousands of lights above. Children sled down a lightly
snow covered hill laughing with delight. Christmas
characters mingle and pose for photos. Bavarian store fronts
glitter with decorations and twinkle with lights. Christmas
music echoes through the air.
If you haven't been to our Christmas Tree Lighting before
you are in for a real thrill. A&E chose us as the "Ultimate
Holiday Town" and the "Good Morning America Special" that
covered our lighting festival brought tears to our viewers
eyes as they felt the magic of the moment.
This year to add to your holiday experience we are providing
excellent Christmas performances all three weekends. You can
reserve your performances and rooms now. We are open 7 days
a week for your convenience and keep a current list of the
lodging facilities still open whether your preference is a
B&B, a motel, a condo or a cozy cabin.
