Dreaming of a warm summer day.......

Wow, it is cold and snowy here at Mountainview.  The beach is covered in 2 feet of snow but we know it is still there, waiting for summer.......lol.

Guests have been booking cottages recently so don't wait and be disappointed, give us a call and book your summer vacation early as we still have a nice assortment of cottages left available.

Keep warm and take care,

Greg

Been A Long Winter.

Hope everyone had a good winter. We will be opening May Holiday Weekend.

Spring is just around the corner.

Hope that everyone has had a good winter......it sure has been an easy one.!
Although there has been little snow in the southern parts of Ontario this area has been
mostly winter as usual, almost anyway. There has been snow here mostly all winter and the snowmobile trails were open here before anywhere else.

Soon I will be looking to do some renovations here and there as soon as the snow is gone
and the temps come up abit.......a floor for Cottage #1, finally. It sure needs it, some paint here and there and lots of screens seem to need replacing due to kids and dogs. Oh well, comes with the territory. Oh yes, and I have repairs to do with the slides and a paddleboat.......the list goes on.

Anyway, can't wait for the 2012 season to get here and enjoy everyone's company again. It really is nice meeting so many nice people and seeing everyone have such a nice time.
"MOUNTAINVIEW IS...... ALL ABOUT THE BEACH"

Please book soon for July and August as spots are already becomeing limited and the May Long Weekend is starting to book up also.

Take care and see you soon,
Greg

Snow is here again.....

Thank you everybody for a fun and successful summer season.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous and Happy New Year.!!!!!!!!

Will Book Up Fast for May Holiday Weekend

So reserve now for May Holiday Weekend and Summer Season 2011 and don't be disappointed.

Hope everyone made it through the long, cold winter. It is starting to warm up now, all the snow is gone except for the odd pile here and there and the lake is almost free of all ice. I am starting the spring clean up and will be getting a few new fridges and stoves and furniture for some of the cottages where needed. Some painting will be done to outside of a few of the cottages and a new roof on Cottage 3 plus a multitude of other tasks. That all should keep us pretty busy for a month or so.

Heard the first loon call last night....what a welcome sound that was.

Take care,
Greg

Cold,Cold and Snowy !!!!!

Hello Everyone.

It sure has been cold up here the last few days.....-32 the other morning, high of -24.
Today we are getting a light but constant snowfall...still too cold to go out to the iceshack.
I caught a 7 lb. Pickerel last week and friends have got a 6 lber and a few pike and perch so the fishing has been really good. I seem to be too busy to fish in the spring/summer season so am taking advantage of the winter down time to do some serious fishing.

We have recently been taking bookings for the up coming season so if you are contemplating making a reservation I suggest doing it sooner than later. We still have some weeks available thoroughout July and August and a very good selection of weekends and weeks in the spring. I find that the weather in June is consistently beautiful. Last year guests were swimming on the May Long Weekend.

Well I had better get outside and get some plowing/shovelling done.......


Take care,
Greg

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !

We hope everyone has a healthy and happy Holiday Season. All the best in the New Year.

May Long Weekend...WOW

Hi Everyone. It's too hot.......naaa, just kidding but boy oh boy,was this May long weekend beautiful.




We were very very busy in the weeks...well months actually, leading up to this past weekend and all the hard work sure paid off. The place and cottages look great and many guests commented that they were very impressed with the improvements.....thanks everyone.



So all in all it was a really successful startup for 2010 and we could clearly see that everyone had a great time. In fact if I look out the window right now there are still people in the water, on paddle boats and on the slide......people that thought it was just too nice to go home yesterday.



Well...gotta go.....going in the water.



See you all soon.!



Greg and Suzanne



P.S. Sofie loved having everyone back.

Summer is just around the corner.....

Wow...the weather has been spectacular, let's hope it continues.
Sorry it has been so long since we posted an update but........we have been so darn busy.!

In addition to the regular chores around the resort we have updated quite a few of the cottages
like painting the kitchens and doors ect. and done the bedroom walls of cottage 3 in pine......and
the floors in both #2 and #3 in pine. I am just at the stage of staining.....it's been an incredible
amount of work....ouchie...I am a bit sore....but it all looks great and we hope that our guests will
be pleased. Oh ya....also finished the front of store up above in pine and have plans for a bit more
of this and that around the place.

Well....I had better run.....lots to do.

Talk again soon.
Take care,
Greg
