More great family getaways

School's out for another summer and that means you are likely trying to figure out what to do with the kids. In an earlier post I mentioned some of the resorts that offer children's programs but there are also resorts that let you plan your own days events. Our cottage resorts are a great option for reconnecting with your family, with the natural surroundings and are conducive to having fun. From the moment you arrive, you'll be greeted with a warm welcome and realize this could be the start of an annual tradition.

Over the years the family has grown and they are now at the point of taking over the resort when they come. Bondi offers a little bit of everything from swimming in the lake, a frisbee golf course, several kilometers of hiking trails, wolf calling, star-gazing and so much more. The team at Bondi knows what it takes to make a vacation memorable and keeping their guests coming back year after year. Looking to catch the "big one?" They look no further than Beauview Cottage Resort. In owner Gord's latest blog post, he shares a picture of some young gentlemen showing off their catch. Speaking from experience, the first bass a young boy catches is the one he will remember for the rest of his life... not to mention it'll have them hooked on fishing. Beauview also added to their water toys this year with a "Moonwalk" connecting the "Iceberg" to the Water trampoline. At the end of the day, you can soak in a private hot tub or sit under the stars next to a campfire. The 4 season Sandy Lane Resort in Haliburton is another great option for those looking for a kid friendly atmosphere. The cottages surround a beautiful park like setting on the shore of Halls Lake. Sandy Lane is ideal for all types of activities and your kids will love playing on their playground equipment, swimming in the lake, or just going out for a relaxing and calm paddle on the water. Heading east towards Ottawa? Then you'll want to stay Perth's "Ultimate Family Resort on the Lake," McCreary's Beach, which is only 10 minutes out-of-town and only 45 minutes to the nation's capital city, Ottawa. Pick between staying in one of their charming cottages or condos and enjoy the tranquil setting as you look out onto Mississippi Lake. During your stay, you'll enjoy use of their Fun Zone, entertainment complex, arcade, tennis courts and so much more. Whether you are looking to go to the near north, towards Lake Huron in the west, or east of Toronto, there are spectacular cottage resorts available.
