From my experience with Penn Wells, you should be able to do this. The only catch will be the confirmation by credit card. If you can do conference calling, it shouldn't be a problem. In any case, first find the individual who wants the room. Next, you should call the desk at the Lodge and tell them you can't make it, but you want to keep the room for your friend (insert name here). If he/she is on the line, you just have him/her give the desk the new credit card number. If you can't conference, you will either have to have the new person's credit card number or you can tell the desk that the new person will call immediately after your call to confirm the switch. (I've never tried this, but it should work....)
The folks at Penn Wells have been dealing with us rally-types for so many years that they seem to be used to whatever strange requests we might come up with.
If you want to transfer the room, but keep your reservation for next year; be sure to tell the person at the desk. They've always been more than helpful in keeping our reservations secured year-to-year.
Good luck with the transfer.... and sorry we won't see you there this year!
