Texans sees snow for the first time

We have guests staying here from Texas. Snow is a whole new experience for them. Instead of staying indoors, they are snow shoeing, snow tubing and taking ski lessons while they are here.
Lots of precious photo moments!

Snowmobile at Christmas time

I was in Baysville today checking the local news. I heard from Dan the Groomer Man that he's grooming the snowmobile trails now and he expects that the Muskoka trails will be open for the Christmas holidays.
This is Great News! It's been many years since the trails have been open at Christmas.

We've got a foot of SNOW!

Over the last two days we've got snow and more snow. There's over a foot of snow on the ground. The lake is starting to freeze over. Some cross country ski trails are open and have been groomed in Algonquin park. Our snowshoes are available to borrow for hiking.

Four Deer on the Road

It is a winter wonderland here after yesterday's snow fall. Nancy saw 4 deer on the way into town this morning. They are truly beautiful animals, very graceful. The smallest one stopped to look at the car and so they eyed each other for a couple of minutes.

Deer Tracks in the Snow

First walk in the morning gives you a breath of fresh air but it also lets you see who's been around after you went to sleep.
There were deer eating what's left of Nancy's wildflower garden. Hunting season is over so they are safe for another year. Squirrels getting the last of their winter food stores before hibernating. But no raccons or bears!

Christmas and New Years is a Magical Time

Christmas is a Magical time. It looks like we'll have snow (though its always hard to tell in these days of global warming!)
People come with their families, at Christmas to start a new tradition. They take time to be together and play together. You can hide from work. ( You don't have to tell the boss that we have cell phone coverage and wireless internet if you don't want to! ) Time doesn't quite stop but it slows down a bit.

What is there to do? Skiing, hiking, snow shoeing, snow tubing are some examples.

For New Years, we cater to couples and families who want to celebrate together. No need to dress up. It's come as you are. You don't have to cook if you don't want to. There are lots of restaurants closeby in Huntsville.

We still have some cottages left for Christmas and New Years. Please check our availability and reserve your special time away.

Snow Came Today in Muskoka

Snow came today and stayed in Muskoka! We had to get the shovels out to clear the paths.

The plows were out on the roads so everyone that had to drive, had no problems getting around. The school buses came and went as usual. A good start to real winter weather.

The guests that we have staying with us this week have experienced a variety of weather. Shirt sleeve warm sunny weather, rain and snow - all in the same week!

Past Archive of Beauview Cottage Resort Blog

Hello, I'm Gord - I'm the owner of the Beauview Cottage Resort along with my wife Nancy. We are located near the town of Huntsville in the Muskoka region of Ontario, about 30 minutes drive from the west gate of Algonquin park.

We learned about this new Blog system from a course we've just taken. The best thing we like about it is that you can send your comments too!

Starting now, we'll be using this new system.
