We love our drop-in guests here at Silver Muskie Lodge…this one is very special to this place!!

Meet Anita (Makarchuk)Artyzsuk.
She worked as a helper in 1975-1977 with Betty & Carl.
She told us so many fun stories of her time here and these are a few.
•She met Joe Robbie, owner of the Miami Dolphins, {we’ve heard the new stadium blueprints were shown in this dining room}
Vidal Sassoon himself, and the owner of Hyatt Regency were guests here.
Betty kept a tight ship and did all the cooking and ALL the dishes, especially the pots & pans.
•Carl would sneak Betty a kiss, a pat or a hug when he could. They were totally & utterly in love. 🥰
•They had very extravagant dinners and would serve at 9:00 or 10:00pm.
•Anita’s room was in a storage closet, which was big enough for a bed ,window & shelving {now opened up into the NW corner room}
•She got to drive the SML ‘limo’ to pick up guests in town. (What a great service!)

Thank you, Anita for the wonderful stories.
We love to hear about the history of this iconic building! ❤️
