Hello Readers
Just an update on "goings on" up this way. We had a great start to the season with our usual group who take all 10 cottages for the May Long weekend and then last weekend we had 8 out of 10 cottages filled up with a family from the USA and a large group up to Huntsville for a baseball tournament.
Had my first bear sighting of the season a week ago when I saw one ambling along the grass next to HWY 11 north bound. Have also started seeing deer on Bay Lake Road and last weekend we had a guest tell us that when he awoke in the morning there was a donkey down near our swings!!
We still have plenty of cottages available for the Huntsvillie Tri weekend (June 12-14), so if you are bringing your family up to lend moral support, renting one of our cottages is a great option. We allow a late check out on the Sunday for Tri participants and their families/supporters and our lake is a great place for a pre-event swim.
Summer still sees us with a fantastic selection of dates, something that is unusal for this time of year as by now we are almost always booked right up. So take advantage of the opportunity and secure yourself a wonderful family vacation spot.
Till next time

May, OH Glorious May
Hello Readers
Things are progressing nicely for our spring re-opening this coming weekend. Water is back on in all the cottages, the BIG Spring Clean started today inside the cottages and I am getting on top of all the various chores that crop up after winter.
The 12 and 14ft boats are back in the water and the "old Mercs" came up from the basement, back onto the boats and each started after just 3 pulls!
Things are slowly filling up for summer although usually by now we would be almost fully booked, so those of who have trying to get a place here at Algonquin Woods, now is your chance! And once your in, your in!
Staying at a house keeping resort is actually one of the most economical holidays you can have. The only cheaper alternative is camping. And everyone needs a holiday at some point during the summer (except of course if you run a cottage resort, then you have to wait until winter for a break!). So come on up to our place or any of the other fine resorts that dot the lakes up this way this summer. You will not be dissapointed.

May Sunshine
Hello Readers
A lovely day today. The pumphouse is operational again, with the reinstallation of the pump, UV, filter et al....
Had a fantastic day yesterday in Algonquin Park. Took a picnic lunch and hiked the lake of Two Rivers trail with Louise and Harriet. Although we did not see any moose, there has been quite a few sitings according to the notice boards at the West Gate and again at the Visitor Center. The Shop and restaurant is also open at Canoe lake, so we treated ourselves to ice cream cones.
