The Hotel Eastin

Maryann became manager of the hotel in the summer of 2012, and the owner in 2013. She and Walt live on the property. Often, if you're in the office when Maryann is making reservations on the phone, you'll hear her say, "Oh, you’re from ___________. We used to live just a few miles from there. Through their various moves, Maryann has worked for the past 12 years as the manager of a lodge, in floral design at floral shops, has managed a major antiques mall and RV parks. Maryann is also a ordained minister that can officiate weddings. Walt's first career was in cable television, one which took the family, Walt, Maryann, Walter Junior and Angie to several states, including Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming and Missouri. Walt does maintenance here, but you are more likely to find him at his antiques restoration business (Antiques Hospital) or, as long as water is flowing in the region, teaching fly fishing or working as a fly fishing guide. From Thanksgiving to Christmas, Walt dons his Santa suit and the Antiques Hospital turns into Santa’s workshop.
