IT PAYS TO PLAN AHEAD

St. Michaels, Md. November 7, 2007 – A last minute getaway is always an unexpected treat; however, ample planning translates into an added bonus this winter at Five Gables Inn & Spa in St. Michaels, Maryland. The Pity the Procrastinator Package rewards guests reserving a two night mid-week stay and two spa services with $50 towards dining in a St. Michaels restaurant. Bookings must be made two weeks prior to the stay and mid-week rates (Sun.-Thurs.) begin at $150 per night starting November 12 - March 30, 2008.  The package cannot be combined with any other specials, packages or current reservations.

Upon arrival, guests can relax on the porch with a fresh cup of coffee and catch up on books that they have been meaning to read; find the time to exercise in the inn’s heated indoor pool; indulge in a well-earned massage; or explore the nearby Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. A stroll along Talbot Street, the main road of St. Michaels, reveals many culinary options from fine dining to casual eateries. Neighboring 208 Talbot, Carpenter Street Saloon and Bistro St. Michaels are among the local favorites guests can enjoy and be treated as a regular.

Marking the calendar for a comforting retreat can be great motivation to get through the workday and use a couple vacation days that are all too often wasted.  For further information and reservations, please call toll free 1-877-466-0100; send an e-mail to info@fivegables.com or visit the Web site at www.fivegables.com
