Hello Readers
Well it has finally started to snow. In fact the kids have a Snow Day today! I pretty well finished all my Fall chores although I never do get to everything on my list.
I will update our rate list for the coming summer soon, and once completed post it on the web. As usual, letters or emails confirming your reservation and requesting a deposit will go out in early January to all of you who have booked a cottage for 2011. If you stayed with us last summer and did not rebook, but would like to reserve a cottage, please get in touch by phone or email. We still have some spots open and there is always a shuffling around in January/February.
Till next time.

Wintery warnings
Well we have another dusting of snow about the place this morning and they are saying we may get 2-4 cm tonight. I am just getting ready to take Mollie out for what I think will be a rather blustery, cold walk. All the BBQ's are away, all the cottages vacumed and tidied up and I have been busy winterising our boat. Next on the list is finishing off some raking and preparing the new dock for the winter.
We are off tonight to see the latest Warrem Miller ski film at the Algonquin Theater, getting ourselves fired up for winter.
Hidden Valley is getting geared up for another season of great down hill skiiing & boarding. Remember they are only 25 minutes away from us. Hidden Valley has upgraded the air side of the snowmaking system to ensure snow can be made at warmer temperatures under the Blue Quad. Combining this with the addition of 20 new snow guns for the property will allow the snow making team to start up sooner and put down greater amounts of snow at a faster rate. Also new for the 2010 / 2011 season, they have purchased a Piston Bully Park 400 edge.This Park Cat will greatly improve their abilty to build proper transitions and landing zones in the Terrain Park. If you would like more info about skiing at the Valley take a look at their website,

November at the Woods
Hello Readers
Well we have snow, have had it since yesterday morning. I thought it would have dissappeared but our roof tops and much of the ground is still dusted in white!
I thought it was time to take out our boat, so yesterday I brought it in but not without a final spin around the lake. Something to be out on the lake and see nothing but snow covered trees and cottages! From my trip it looked like there were only 2 other boats left on the lake, Adams next door at Winning Techniques and Joe and Lauras boat over at Cutters Cove. As I was cranking the boat up onto the trailer a snow squall hit, so that was good fun.
The cottages are all drained of their water and I have done all the raking except for the big hill. I had 2 huge dead trees taken down and that was quite the cleanup job which thankfully is now completed.
