Golf a-round in Huntsvillle

We've known for quite awhile that Huntsville has lots of Golf Courses and they range from 9 and 18 hole local courses like Whispering Pines, Huntsville Downs and Granite Ridge to Championship Courses like Club Links Mark O'Meara, Deerhurst's Highland Course and Bigwin Islands spectacular 18 holes.

Last week as President Obama arrived in Huntsville for the Muskoka G8 aboard his helicopter Marine One, it's reported that he even noticed the abundance of golf courses.

When U.S. President Barack Obama stepped off his helicopter in Huntsville on Friday, the first thing he said was, “You’ve got a lot of golf courses here, don’t you?” Industry Minister Tony Clement told the National Post in an exclusive interview.

Why not come up to Huntsville and Golf on the courses that President Obama had a chance to fly over. We'll even put together a custom two or three day golf package that includes one of our Muskoka Cottages, as many rounds of golf as you like and a great place to relax with family and friends at the end of the day.

The Real Lake - Peninsula Lake Muskoka

The Huntsville Muskoka G8 is only weeks away and the buzz is building. We see what looks like a fair number of security people in Huntsville every day now. Restaurants and coffee shops are busy and it is nice to see all the activity. There has been much said about the security fence that is being constructed but aside from it looking like an Indy Car Race is about to happen on Hwy 60 it hasn't caused any trouble or inconvenience.

Like many Canadians we are enjoying a chuckle over the "Fake Lake" in Toronto at the media centre. It would be better if journalists from around the world could have the opportunity to come to Huntsville and experience the warm hospitality, boundless nature, spectacular Algonquin Park and the "Real Lake" - Peninsula Lake - home of the Huntsville Muskoka G8.

Maybe a few could stay in our cottages at Colonial Bay and have a chance to experience everything Peninsula Lake, Huntsville and Muskoka has to offer.

Victoria Day Weekend

This past weekend was one of the best ever according to guests staying at Colonial Bay Cottages. Mondays high temperature of 29 degrees capped off a perfect waterfront weekend. Although the water temperature is still cool the air made up for it. The canoes, kayaks and peddle boat were used all weekend and the campfire was roaring on Sunday night. The highlights of the weekend were boating and relaxing.

Memorial Day Weekend is this weekend. If you work for a U.S. based company maybe you can squeeze in another long weekend!! Call us for Memorial Day weekend specials.
