Marlin Hospitality Inc., a Delaware corporation, took over ownership of Dunham’s Bay Lodge on Lake George but Matt Taormino, GM, says its business as usual for now.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

By Jill Nagy<\/p>\n

Dunham’s Bay Lodge on Lake George has a new owner, Marlin Hospitality Inc., but according to general manager Matt Taormino, any plans for major changes in the resort are definitely on the back burner.<\/p>\n

The new owners’ orders were “business as usual; continue to do what you’ve been doing,” he said.<\/p>\n

Taormino said the new owners are “a small group with a huge affection for the area.” Marlin Hospitality Inc., is a Delaware corporation registered in New York state since last September to do business in.
\n“They like everything about the property, especially us,” Taormino said, referring to the managers and employees, all of whom are staying on.<\/p>\n

As he begins his third year as general manager, Taormino said, “I am glad to be serving a new company.”<\/p>\n

“Eventually, improvements will be made,” he said, “New owners always want to put their own shine on things” but, for now, just some new paint and landscaping.<\/p>\n

As they move into the season, Taormino and his staff are too busy for major changes anyway, he said. There are already 34 weddings booked for the spring, summer and fall and he expects a total of about 50. This is a part of the business that is growing, he said, and they want it to continue to grow.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t give us much room to make changes,” he said.<\/p>\n

He is proud of the resort’s perfect score on the wedding wire and an award from Bride’s Choice, the only venue between Albany and Lake Placid to be so recognized. Some 30 percent of the weddings they book are “destination weddings,” he said, meaning that the wedding party and guests stay at the resort for a while before or after the wedding itself. “We customize and create the wedding and wrap up the whole package at costs that may be as low as $70 per guest,” he said. The average wedding at Dunham’s Bay has 125 guests. If necessary, the rooms and cabins at the resort can house them all.<\/p>\n

Taormino does not expect to hire additional permanent staff but will bring in 20-24 people for the summer, many of them returning from previous years.<\/p>\n

“I’d love to have them all back,” he said.<\/p>\n

Dunham’s Bay is also available for anniversaries, engagement parties and other celebrations and for small business conferences. That part of the business is also growing, according to Taormino. They also welcome vacation guests. The property has 20 cabins and a main house with 20 rooms.<\/p>\n

Former owners, Goldstein Motor Group, sold the resort because they wanted to concentrate more on their auto dealerships, Taormino said. “It was always for sale but they wanted to sell the resort to someone who would nurture it.”<\/p>\n

Dunham’s Bay Resort is located at 2999 Ridge Road (Route 9L) near the southeastern corner of Lake George. The telephone number is 656-9242.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
