Meet Our Staff

Joy Zeiter, Manager

Joy is a wife to Blake and a mom to Zayne and Laynee. Joy was a new employee of the Bel Air when ownership changed, and she agreed to continue at the Inn. She is a lifetime resident of Marshall County and loves crafting and doing things with her kids. Depends on the day as to which one she loves more.

Nevaeh Cash, Guest Services

Nevaeh is a lifelong resident of Marshall County, and she loves bonfires and lake days. Like a lot of lake lovers, she really hates cold weather. When she's not making your stay awesome, she's hanging with the fam and Glenda the cat.

Claire Alvey, Guest Services

Doesn't everyone love the lake? So does Claire - and she's a big fan of summer! She loves to travel - and she's about to embark upon life's biggest adventure - MOTHERHOOD! She's a Graves County native who loves to hang with her fam.

Margaret Howard, Guest Services

Fun fact: Margaret is my neighbor! Even better than that - she immigrated to the United States from Ireland when she was a wee 23 years old. (That accent is real, y'all.) Margaret spent seven years as a nanny in New York and now lives at Kentucky Lake full time. Her three kids are grown - and when she's not at the Inn, she's reading or hiking or traveling!

Brad and Cindi Cook, Owners

Second marriage, second business venture, first hotel renovation. (Probably the last if you want the truth!) We love to travel, so we incorporated a lot of our positive experiences into the rooms at the Inn. I hate crappy mattresses, and he hates crappy linens - so you know we researched those topics a lot. We're lake people now - so you'll see us around.

Staff Lobby Parties!

Sometimes we just need to blow off some steam. This is from our staff Christmas party - and we actually made some really cute trees! (You might see one in the lobby come next holiday.)
