2025 Season starts Thursday, May 1st 2025 Calendar & Rates
With great thanks to the family members, guests, and co-workers, who served on the GM search team, we are excited to share that long-time Capon guest, Mike Stover, will be Capon’s next General Manager! We selected Mike after receiving and reviewing more than 200 applications for the position and numerous screening interviews by our search committee teams. The Board of Directors unanimously agreed Mike is the right person to lead Capon forward. In particular, Mike demonstrated the type of leadership we were seeking in the position, and is fully aligned with and understands Capon’s mission, vision, and values.
A bit of background about Mike: Mike came to Capon for a long weekend with his parents and grandparents when he was 11 years old. In 2000, after a hiatus of several decades, Mike and his wife, Ellen, were looking for a different place to vacation with their own family. Mike fondly remembered Capon—especially the food, playing tennis, swimming in the pool and having the freedom to roam—and so they decided to give Capon a try. Since then, Mike and his family have come often, sometimes multiple times a year. Mike says his best Capon memories are spending the week with family and friends and the conversations around the dinner table. He is also an avid golfer and hiker.
Mike comes to Capon having family business experience. He worked with his father at a family-owned HVAC and heating oil company in Hershey, PA. He eventually purchased the business from his father and led it until 2018, when he sold it to a regional company. Mike was retained by the purchasing company and ultimately became General Manager for the entire Pennsylvania operations. Mike and his wife, Ellen, have four daughters, Paige, Madalyn, Emma, and Phoebe.
Mike will be officially joining the Capon team at the beginning of May. He looks forward to getting to know you this season!
