With winter making way for summery weather so early this year, the snow and ice is gone; cottage roads are drying up and leaves are appearing on the trees. It looks as though an Easter cottage rental break could be a great idea for celebrating the first long weekend of spring and we have a great offer to make the Easter bunny bounce with joy.

Rent a cottage for two or three nights over the Easter weekend and enjoy standard weekend/extra night rates. Don’t pay premium long weekend rates on selected cottages. Give us a call on 866 323 6698 for details and you could be spending your Easter on the lake this year. Here’s some ideas:

Six Mile Cottage – On beautiful 6-Mile Lake, this popular cottage is yours for the Easter weekend at $925 for 3 nights for up to 6 people.

A family of five can have a great time at Creekside – a peaceful location on  an inlet just off Stoney Lake.  This cute cottage comes with a hot tub and a deck overlooking the water.  Spend some time in pretty Lakefield or explore the local Provincial Park.  At $520 for a 3-night break, it’s a bargain.

If gas prices have put you off a spring cottage rental break – start thinking about it again because we’re going to pay for your gas. Book a week, weekend, or mid-week break in our selected cottages, and we’ll send you a $50 gas card. This means you can enjoy cottage country without worrying about adding on the price of getting there.

Here’s a couple of examples:

Sea Breeze on Lake Ontario accepts pets, has a hot tub, and a fabulous outlook on Lake Ontario. Less than 2 hours from the city so you’ll have plenty of free gas to explore the beautiful Northumberland area.

Squirrel’s Leap or Chalet Tranquilite near Mt Tremblant in Quebec are both   great locations for a short gas-paid break from Ottawa. Enjoy the beautiful Laurentians before the summer crowds arrive. Choose from a gorgeous log cabin for two with awesome views of Tremblant and easy access to Parc du Tremblant, or a wooded location near to Lac E’querre.

Take a short vacation in cottage country this spring and we’ll pay for your gas!  All you need to do is to book a cottage rental for a break in April, May or June* and we’ll send you a $50 gas card.  This should soften the blow of the rise in gas prices and help you enjoy spring on the lakes.  

There’s so much to do in the spring.  Take a paddle out on a quiet lake in a canoe or kayak; hike in one of our beautiful provincial parks; go geocaching and explore the countryside on a driving tour.

Just give us a call and we’ll help you plan your spring break and find the right cottage.  Don’t forget you can check the availability of all our cottages so easily by clicking on our calendars.

As gas prices rise once again and the current weather offers us the glimpse of a summer to come, how many people are wondering if they can escape the heat of the city to a cool lake, sunsets and camp fires, if fuel costs continue the upward spiral?

It is easy to think in one-dimensional terms and simply calculate the cost of travel to and from the cottage, and perhaps dismiss the idea as too expensive, without taking a more lateral view. Craig White of CottageLINK has given this a lot of thought and his Commentary puts this in perspective. His view that renting a cottage remains terrific value as a family vacation despite the rise in some costs, has a lot of merit.

Watch out for our Fuel Card Promotion that starts next week. In certain cottages, renters will be offered a fuel card worth up to $100 when booking selected cottages for a July or August rental, between the 10th and 28th June.
