Hello Blog readers
Well I have drained the water out of 8 out of 10 cottages now and got back to raking again today. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can continue tomorrow.
Guests in #1 this weekend. They were here last year at the same time. They don't mind the cooler (and sometimes wetter) weather and really enjoy the peace and tranquility of Clear lake this time of year. They were even out in the rowboat, canoe and peddle boat today.
I have updated our vacancy calendar and you can now see what is available for Summer 07.
If you are interested in a stay over Christmas or News Years, we still have #1 and #10 available, although #10 is now booked for the 3 nights of 24, 25 & 26 Dec.
The deer are starting to make more regular appearances and we have 2 hanging around periodically.
Till next time
John

At last the snow is gone
Hi Blog Readers
Last nights rain has finally washed away the remnant patches of snow still remaining from last Friday/Saturdays storm. It was so thick on the ground, my leaf raking was put on hold.
Shutting down cottages 2-9 is well underway now. The pumphouse is now shut down, the pump and various pieces of gear safely and warmly stowed away in our basement and the main waterlines drained. By the end of the week, I will have drained all the cottages and poured in the required anti-freeze into the various "s-bends" and traps.
We had guests spend last weekend with us, and they were the last ones to stay in Cottage #5 until the May long weekend. We have returning guests coming in this Friday to spend the weekend in Cottage #1.
I'll start putting the boats away this week as well and hopefully it will stop raining and let me get back to raking.
We still have vacancies for Christmas and New Years, with Cottages 1 and 10 our winterised cottages being available.
Till next time

October Update
Hello Blog Readers
Well, hard to believe but only a few days and Thanksgiving is here. Then one more week and I'll start putting 8 out of 10 cottages to bed for the winter.
We are fully booked for this coming weekend (Thanksgiving) and it looks like we are in for some spectacular weather and about time I must say! This Fall has not been the greatest weather wise.
For those unaware, we were hit by a horrific wind storm/hurricane/tornado on Sunday September 24th. We had been lucky all summer, escaping damage from the 3 devastating storms in July and August. However this time we got hit a little bit harder then normal. We had no power for nearly 4 days, 3 trees came down blocking the driveway and roadway down to the cottages, the powerline that runs from cottage 8 to 9 was brought down and a tree fell on cottage#10, damaging the deck, BBQ, picnic table and taking the whirly bird off the roof. We were in fact very lucky the damage was not more severe and of course very fortunate no one was injured as we had 8 out of 10 cottages full at the time.
Anyway, things are all but back to normal and we are almost ready for our Thanksgiving guests.
Those of you who were unable to make it up for Thanksgiving and would like to have a few days away before Fall gives way to winter, give us a call. We still have plenty of cottages left for the weekend after Thanksgiving.
