We're growing!
It's been almost 4 years since VacationHouse Destinations came to be the the little company that could. We've stayed true to our business model of finding top notch properties, providing exceptional customer service and helping our members get great value at destinations they want to go to.
For 2010, we're looking to significantly expand our property choices, while maintaining our focus on quality properties by keeping with our commitment to inspect each property before we make it available for rent.
With more requests for properties in the NW, we've found two great Territory Managers to help us build out the property portfolio and assist members with questions about NW destinations.
These Territory Managers know the top locations in Oregon, Idaho and Eastern Washington; do you want to know what the best beach is for shell collecting on the Oregon Coast - they know the answer to that. Do you want to know what a good location is to experience the wine country -they can answer that too! If we don't know, we'll find out so you don't have to spend your time researching.
We're happy to introduce Tricia McCracken and Pamela Morgan -Oregon and Eastern Washington/Idaho Territory Managers.
Pamela Morgan: Eastern Washington/Northern Idaho Territory Manager pmorgan@VacationHouseDestinations.com
Pamela wants to help members find the "just right" vacation home for people who want to visit the North Idaho and Eastern Washington area. Living in Kellogg Idaho with her family, Pamela realized she had a passion for travel and photography that she incorporates into finding great vacation experiences for members. "I'm excited to combine my skills of design and marketing with my passion for photography and genuine care of other people." Pamela is happy to help you find the perfect vacation getaway - just send her a note or give us a call!
Tricia McCracken: Oregon Territory Manager tmccracken@VacationHouseDestinations.com
Tricia loves Oregon for its beauty and its people. Living near Portland, Tricia is very familiar with the state. She knows the best locations from the Coast to the mountains -having lifelong memories of her family's mountain cabin. Tricia brings a wealth of advertising and marketing experience, as well as a love for travel and family to the mix. Having owned her own vacation home, she knows what it's like both from a renters perspective, as well as the homeowners. Tricia will help ensure that both the property owners and members have a seamless rental experience. Give Tricia a call or send her an e-mail so she can help you plan your next Oregon vacation.
We're so thrilled to have both Tricia and Pamela working to help bring you the best vacation rental experience!

Fun celebrity travel gossip
I thought this article was a fun read - there's some outrageous celebrity guest requests that get made at some hotel hotspots -everything from milking cows for fresh raw milk -to shipping 21 deer for a birthday present. Lucky for us, our guests are amazing! We're more than happy to help our guests with things they need, but I think we would draw the line at shipping 21 deer! :)
Happy Thursday!

The Great Fruitcake Toss!
15th Annual Great Fruitcake Toss – Manitou Springs, Colorado
Let it Hurl!!
You may have recycled the tree, put away the presents, and eaten the leftovers but have you dealt with the dreaded fruitcake from your Aunt Polly? If not, this is your opportunity. Head to Manitou Springs, January 9th and have fun disposing of the fruity, nutty "gift."
Manitou is immediately West of Colorado Springs and knows how to have fun and take a lighthearted look at life.
How better to cap off the holiday festivities that to join in the hurling and launching at the 15th Annual Great Fruitcake Toss? Competitors and spectators will gather at the Manitou Springs High School Track for a final holiday “send off”. Bring your own cake in one-, two-, or four-pound sizes or "rent" one for $1.00. Fruitcakes must contain glaceed fruits, nuts and flour – they cannot contain anything inedible. Don’t wrap in foil, duct tape, etc., all fruitcakes must be visible to the "Fruitcake Toss Tech Inspectors."
Just imagine how happy the squirrels are to clean up after the event. :)
