Cottage Technology

It's amazing the changes that happen in a year. We have offered WIFI for the last 3 years. In the past, a few people brought laptops to connect with family, friends or work.

This year most cottage families have brought a laptop and some have brought more than one. One for the kids and one for the adults or ...

One week there were 10 laptop computers on the property in 6 cottages. It was another activity for the kids on a rainy day. (and we had a lot in July)
Thank goodness we upgraded our WIFI system this spring in anticipation of more load. ... But we didn't expect this much!

We also offer a portable VOIP phone for our US visitors. VOIP means Voice over the Internet. It's a telephone using the internet. It saves the huge roaming and long distance charges you get calling the US from your cell phone.

Mr. and Mrs. BIG came to Visit

Here's one of the photos they took of Lake of Bays -






Our neighbours Jack and Judy Stewart came to visit with their new business invention. - It's a camera on the end of a 60 foot pole. It can take photos from high in the sky! They call it BIG Pole Photography. (And that's why I call them Mr and Mrs. BIG !)

Deer at Fawn Lake Cottage



With a name like Fawn lake, you'd expect to see deer? Well our guests Kyle and Kerri were not disappointed. They saw deer on two mornings


The photo is taken from the deck of the Fawn lake cottage looking down the driveway.


As I drove over there yesterday, I saw two deer eating at the edge of the road too.

78 degrees F Water temp - Am I dreaming?

After taking the kids tubing yesterday, I checked our Lake of bays dock thermometer. It said 78 degrees F.
I even went for a swim!

In less than a week, the water has warmed up dramatically.

Some of the boys were playing a new game - ring toss using our inflatable tubes. One boy floats in the water on a tube near the water trampoline with his hands in the air. The others stand on the water trampoline and try to toss the tubes over his head. The Most tubes wins!
I'll try to get some video of this.

Great Views of the Meteor Shower in Muskoka

Many of our guests went down to the lakefront after dark to look for the Perseid meteor shower.
We weren't disappointed.

In less than an hour, I saw over a dozen meteors streak across the sky. I turned off the lake lights and gave out glow sticks so everyone could see. The children went inside at about 10:30pm. The parents were happy that we didn't have to wait until 2 in the morning to see something.

I Chased a Monarch Butterfly


I chased a monarch butterfly until I finally got tired and stopped. She kept circling me and when she thought I wasn't looking, she landed. I was only able to get so close before she took off again!

Five More Conquered Lake of Bays


Congratulations to our 5 teens that went tubing for the first time. After hearing about the drownings in Muskoka, they were a bit apprehensive about going anywhere near the water.


Well, they conquered their fears and went tubing today behind the Beauview boat. Well Done! (They each received Beauview Bob Tubing awards)

They also went kayaking and peddleboating and swimming in the lake.
