Very big news from our dear Friends Cresslynn, Mark and Lincoln. The end of an era. I’m so happy for them however - congrats you guys as you head into a new chapter! Dear Friends of the Cumberland Hotel, I would like to be the first to let you know that the Cumberland Hotel has been sold to Postmark Group. You can check them out at: ... https://postmarkgroup.com/our-process/ Postmark Group is a company that wants to continue the story of the Cumberland Hotel with a new space that integrates with the Community. After months of discussions with them I have faith they will do a great job at building with the spirit of the Community in mind and will honour the Cumberland Hotel. This decision did not come easy and there have been many tears shed and I am sure more to come. We have been so fortunate to get to know everyone and to have been so supported by this community over the years, and the support we have received during these past few months has been amazing. We will be open our regular hours over the next 3 weeks and will officially close our doors on November 22, 2020 at 7pm This has been a very difficult post to make but also an exciting new beginning for myself and my family. Much love Cresslynn, Mark and Lincoln
