Web Site

Just an apology again for our web site being down at the moment as we develop a new one. Please be patient with us and it should be up and running soon.

We still have our 2 winterised cottages available for the Family Day Weekend in February and of course they are also available for winter get aways of 2 days and up.

I have managed to get a small rink cleared off on the lake just in front of the playground, so hopefully mother nature will help me keep it going.

Last night we lit the fire for our guests staying in cottage #1. They had a good time while here and filled their days with skiing at Hidden Valley, tubing at Rockridge, a walk in Arrowhead, a visit to Ragged Falls (near Algonquin's West Gate) and skating in Huntsville on the new ice pad (thankyou G8). So yes, they enjoyed all that winter has to offer.

By the way, Arrowhead, which is jsut 10 minutes from us, as put in a new feature this winter, a ice skating trail. I have yet to check it out but when I do I will let you know. Visit  www.ontarioparks.com for more details.

Till next time

New Website

Hello Readers

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are in the process of updating our website, so things will be a bit out of wack for a day or two. We were very happy with our old site, as were a majority of our guests (and it did win an award!), however we thought it time to give it a face lift.

Please be patient with us over the next few days as we get it up and running.

Also, the plan is to send out our deposit request letters/emails for Summer 2012 by next week, so please look for that in the mail or your inbox.

Seasons Greetings & Happy New Year To All

Hello Readers

Well winter has finally arrived up this way and I am watching Harriet slide down our hill on her new toboggan, Lucy is out at Hidden Valley teaching skiing, I just finished shovelling off a patch of lake for what I hope will be a skating rink and we have guests staying down in cottage #1 who have just finished spending the afternoon outside enjoying the white stuff.

I just want to say Happy New Year to all our friends and wish you all the best for 2012.

Till next time

Winter Update

Well we have a cm or two on the ground and the lake is now frozen over, however we are in for some warmer temps, so who knows if it will stick around. We can only hope so! I am dying for a ski, snowshoe, skate ......

The Valley opened up today with 1 chair and one run, a valiant effort when you consider mother nature's contribution of near zero.

Till next time

Snow, Snow and more Snow

Well it finally appears winter has arrived. It snowed most of yesterday and is snowing today. Our property is once again blanketed in white from head to toe and lets hope it stays that way for the next few months! I love winter, although by the time mid March comes around I am ready for some green grass and open water.

Had planned on skiing this weekend, however Mother Nature is not cooperating and so Hidden Valley Highlands has delayed their opening weekend until Dec 17/18. Fingers crossed we will be sliding in just over 7 days!

Till next time
