Newfoundland Club of America - 2004 National Specialty

The Site

The fieldstone fireplace in the lobby seems to sum it all up. At Lake Lawn Resort, you'll find warmth, comfort, and genuine heartland hospitality. Nestled among 275 wooded acres along the shoreline of scenic Lake Delavan, the resort provides a relaxed, casual setting. It is a perfect site for fun, relaxation, recreation, and the 2004 Newfoundland National Specialty, A Newf for All Reasons.

The 284 charming rooms, including lofts and suites, are spread throughout five different, two-storied lodges. Many rooms have fireplaces, lakeview patios, or balconies.

A private dining room will provide a comfortable setting for our evening buffets and Saturday night banquet. Meals will also be available in the spacious Frontier Restaurant. The Courtyard Deli will be open through mid-afternoon. In the evening, the Frontier Lounge will provide a relaxing place to wind down after a busy day.

For those wishing to make the National a family vacation, Lake Lawn Resort has numerous activities including two indoor swimming pools, the Timber Spa, game rooms, tennis courts, 18-hole golf course, and biking and jogging trails. You may find the best recreational activity is walking your dog along the beautiful lake on the picturesque grounds.

Be a Considerate Guest

There will be ample areas to exercise your dog on the spacious grounds of Lake Lawn Resort. Only some areas will be marked off limits; please use your common sense about where to allow your dog to eliminate. Since it will be difficult for our cleanup people to patrol the entire expanse, this convenience carries the added responsibility of picking up after your dog immediately. Plastic bags, buckets, and scoopers will be provided.

Dogs left in rooms must be crated when unattended. Dogs cannot be groomed in the rooms, and all bathing must be done at the designated washing area. If you keep a dog in your room, a $100 refundable damage deposit is required when you check in. In case of damage, however, your liability is not limited to the amount of the deposit. Please remember that AKC allows disciplinary action against exhibitors who fail to take proper care of dog show sites and hotels.

Revised Lake Lawn Lodge/Room Reservation FormRevised

We have reserved all rooms at Lake Lawn Resort, but reservations will not be accepted prior to Wednesday, January 14, 2004. Reservations postmarked prior to January 14 will be returned. There will be no exceptions to this policy.

Reservations must be made on the reservation form and must include a deposit equal to one night's lodging. The nightly rate for single or double occupancy is $99.88, including all taxes, plus a $100 damage deposit if keeping a dog in the room. When more than two people occupy a room, there is a $5 charge plus tax per night for each additional person.

Please Note: The room charges for parties three and over given in the National Specialty Brochure are incorrect. Charges for rooms with 3+ adults (18 years and over) will be $20 per person per night in addition to the double occupancy rate.

We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused. Notices will be published in NewfTide, the NCA website and along with reservation confirmations for 3+ parties.

Online and Fax reservations will be accepted beginning March 1. Rooms for overflow will be reserved at The Abbey in nearby Fontana. Daily shuttle service will be provided.

Please plan ahead and be considerate when making reservations. Every year unneeded reservations are made, only to be cancelled at a later date. This leaves many participants without rooms or in doubt about where they will be staying. It also causes confusion at the hotel. Read carefully the "Change of Length of Stay" and "Cancellation Policy" on the reservation form.
