Rod Caster Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Well, I locked her down! I'm getting married in August to the girl I love We've been together for over 2years and we are nearing 30. Although we feel the time is right, time wasn't really a factor, because I would have married her at 19 if I could have. Here is the hubby-to-be with the bride-to-be. So I've already asked the big question but the second biggest question hasn't been answered yet. What species are we fishing for on our honeymoon? As for a honeymoon, does anybody have recommendations for resorts in the following areas? North of Bancroft, Haliburton, along highway 60 area, huntsville, east of Hwy 11 all the way to North Bay and any area with a couple hours of North Bay? It'll be late August. I've looked at "Couples Resort" in Whitney and it looks great with great reviews...I'll be calling them soon. I'm just looking for other comparitive resorts that offer lake-side lodging for couples. As always, I appreciate any advice. Chad Edited March 25, 2012 by Rod Caster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adempsey Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Whole bunch of possibilities listed here: http://www.400eleven.com/getaways-romantic.html#quietbay I've been to some of the larger places like Red Leaves and Taboo. They are nice and have good food, but are also very big and busy. If you want to golf though, these types of places are great. Anyway, I thought these two looked nice. http://www.cedargrove.on.ca/index.htm http://www.trilliumresort.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handlebarz Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Another great very smart woman she knows what her prioritys (how ever ya spell it) are. She loves her alone time so she was looking for a fishing nut noting better as she does not need to worry about you cheating because she will know where you are by the seasons. Congrats hope you find a great place to spend her honeymoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboater Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) You want the Greenwoods cabin at Blue Spruce Resort on Oxtongue Lake. Been going there for I don't know how many years but never stayed at Greenwoods, always booked. Want a hot tub, check. Sauna ? check. It's separate from most of the cottages so it's a bit quieter. The Haydens are super great folks and run a wonderful place all year. Nice bass fishing in Oxtongue and close to Algonquin Park and Huntsville. damn, forgot to say congratulations !

bigbuck Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sir Sam's just outside of Haliburton. Lots of lakes around and its a nice spot. We spent our first anniversary there. Plenty of things to do in the area. You can do a horseback riding trip into Algonquin that was a lot of fun, fishing, golfing, nice little shops in Haliburton....... The food and service are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spincast Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Congrats!. We did much the same thing, got married up there (ended up in Bracebridge;- but no honeymoon due to me running my nealy opened own business at the time and - saved that for 20 years and then cruised Alaska.). We Looked in Resorts Ontario and found at least 15 spots up there, sent them emails and then picked based on the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Congratulations Chad. There's a nice resort on the south shore of Nipissing (I can't remember the name), But I think it's off Tillicum Bay Road. Also Resort Tapatoo off the 400 near Parry Sound.

cheaptackle Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Miss one day on OFC and look what happens! Chad - who's the guy posing with your GF now Fiancee'? You know - the clean shaven & well dressed one. Seems to me I had suggested a few months ago that this was imminent! I wish you all the very best with many years of happiness. Just one thing - when the little ones are old enough how about letting me teach them how to cast? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Congrats Chad! A friend of mine and his wife actually eloped to the Couples Resort....and absolutely raved about it. They have much higher standards than me, so I figure it has to be pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
