First Options of the year!
|
|
|
|
I know. I know. I said no bells and whistles, but ($494/$1976 for Thurs thru Mon)...
Zach's Palace
Looks great. And here's a non Bells and Whistles bare bones in Charlotte (Matthews) ($297 night/$1187 for Thurs thru Mon). Seems semi secluded.
MAYBE the Panthers will have a Sunday home game for $3.79 a ticket. We have talked about this for a few years! That would be FUN with you guys!
Zach's Thrifty Inn
Sorry. Don't know how to do links. Copy/paste. Meh. |

In all honesty...

I was a bit worried about someone taking Kent's chair, in the Las Vegas setting. |

A bit pricey
|
|
|
|
My rent just went up yet again, and $500 a night is a stretch for me. That place is gorgeous, though! |

Sure, but remember
|
|
|
|
It’s 500 divided by 10, usually. Am I right? So that’s 50 bucks a night. But I hear you. So the 300 a night is only $30. Thrifty. |

MASSIVE DRAFT WEEKEND SUMMARY
|
|
|
|
Ok, boys, I've done my first round of lookups for venues for our 2024 Ragnarok Draft Weekend and here is what I've found. I'm going to put both the old and the new options into one list in order to make it easy for everyone to review and give opinions.
Before I do so, let me tell you what my minimum criteria was: * outdoor covered smoking/lounging area in case of rain (this one was non-negotiable) * 4 bedrooms * 3 bathrooms * 9 beds * large area suitable for drafting * 3000+ square feet
The prices are the real prices, which include all fees and taxes. I am also including the estimated cost per person, per night, based on a total of 31 "people nights" like we had last year. This could change by a smidge in either direction.
Let's try to make a group decision this week? Time is flying and places are getting booked.
Ok, heeeeeere we go (in no particular order):
Waterfront Log Cabin, aka Zach's Palace, Lake Gaston $2900 = $94/night Zach's link on AirBnb is $100/night cheaper than the same listing on VRBO - Pros: large floor plan, 6 bedrooms, 11 beds, firepit, screened and covered smoking lounge, pool table, shufflepuck, arcade cabinet, downstairs bar, paddleboat, kayaks
Mt Gilead, Lake Tillery $2441 = $79/night Pros: 4,162 square feet, 6 bedrooms, firepit, canoe, next to Uwharrie National Forest which is the biggest bigfoot hotspot in NC Cons: only covered smoking lounge is the boat dock
Serene, Lake Gaston $2439 = $79/night - Pros: 4,635 square feet, hot tub, pool table, ping pong, darts, firepit, premade cornhole pits, 4 bathrooms, kayaks, boat house lounge - Cons: limited cover in case of rain
Last Escape. Lake Gaston $2328 = $75/night - Pros: 4,400 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, ping pong, firepit, 2 kayaks, covered area for rain that can support cornhole
Water Toys, Lake Gaston $2804 = $91/night - Pros: 13 beds, 3 stories, covered area for cornhole, pool table, classic arcade, Star Wars pinball, paddle boat, kayaks, standup board, firebit, outside bar - Cons: no large open room for drafting
Main Lake Views, Lake Gaston $2703 = $87/night Pros: 3500 square feet, 3 stories, 10 beds, covered area for cornhole, pool table, firepit, kayaks, stand up boards
Beautiful Deep Water, Lake Gaston $1801 = $58/night Pros: 3,047 square feet and only $1800, 10 beds, great drafting room, firepit that includes wood, screened covered smoking lounge, boathouse bar with fridge, foosball, kayaks, stand up board
Blessings to all. |

My vote
|
|
|
|
Zach's palace is just too nice to pass up! As a second option I would vote for the last one that has Star Wars pinball and is less expensive. |

Gamblers house picks
|
|
|
|
A lot of great options here. Keith's list of criteria is great, and I'd add one for me which is a little privacy from neighbors so being outside talking late at night isn't an issue.
Saying that, my top 3 are:
#1: Zach's palace - to me this is effectively the ideal draft house. But it's pricey and I'm not trying to tell anyone how to spend their money.
#2: Main View - A ton of space, lots of cornhole locations for Kent to dominate on, multiple smoking options. Still pretty pricey...
#3: Mt Gilead Lake Tillery - if the weather was right we could spend a ton of time on that boat dock. Plus, bigfoot.
All of the others have more pros than cons to me as well, so they all pass as good options. The only one of these I'd raise an issue on is Lake Escape, which has zero trees or other coverings and is right next to another house. And even then, it's only a chance of an issue, not a certainty. |

Blast have evaluated
|
|
|
|
And after using science in said evaluation, concludes that the only house that will be perfect is Zach’s log cabin. |
