fishnsled Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Congrats Chad!! All the best to you and your misses. The Couples Resort sure does look nice but as you said, a bit pricey. Friends of mine stayed there and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted March 26, 2012 Author 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. Sir Sam's is who I chose! Good price, good reviews, good ammenities...good, good, good! Can't wait! 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. I'm lucky to get three weeks off .. the third week is reserved for canoeing/camping. 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. Thanks Brian! Tapatoo seems to get lots of good reviews as well Great news Chad! Congrets. I was wondering where she was this year at the G2G.. Working! haha, otherwise she would have been there. Thanks! Lots of nice places to choose from. Derhurst, Windermere, Domain of Killean, etc.... A number in the Haliburton Highlands that my neice has worked for. yup, quite a few around Haliburton..that's where we are going. Sir Sam's! 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 Thanks Mikey! You'll also be the one to teach them how to spool mono.. 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 That place looks amazing...but nearly double the cost of the other places! Congrats Chad!! All the best to you and your misses. The Couples Resort sure does look nice but as you said, a bit pricey. Friends of mine stayed there and loved it. Thanks Will! Pricey indeed...maybe for the silver anniversay haha Congrats to your engagement! Very exciting. I hear Sir Sam's is a cool place to indulge Have a blast! Thanks! That's what we chose... they don't have any fishing boats and I've never fished from a sailboat haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hey Chad, I just remembered the name of the resort on the south shore. Tama Kwa (spelling?). It's probably in your back yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite what I'm looking for, but if they could guarantee I catch a Musky like the one they have on their website I might reconsider. hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I just thought of Obabika just west of Temagami. There may not be a finer drive-to resort in the province based strictly on ammenities and cuisine. They have honeymoon packages as well, although they're not cheap. http://www.obabika.com/experience-obabika/experience-obabika.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Edwin Thanks Edwin Have you tried Viamead? It is beautiful! Nice looking place and the price is inline with the others of that caliber. Thanks for the idea. And they have pigs haha, cool Fox lake is pretty nice. http://www.foxlakere...fitters_006.htm Nice looking lodges...I'd love to vacation out that way, maybe for the second half of our honeymoon. The first half is gonna be a "pamper and spa" type thing. As per her request. The spa sounds good but I'm not looking forward to them putting diapers on me...
