Update - Room Availability

Hi Phil et al;

Received a reply from the Mountain View and, the cottage and family room are both, as of now, still available. His reply is as follows:

" Hi Ron,

Yes both the cottage and the two family rooms are available on those nights. The cottage has a bedroom with two double beds and a lounge with two double sofa beds, kitchen dining area etc. The family rooms have two double beds and a double sofa bed.

The cottage is $180.00 per night and the family rooms are $140.00 per night.

We also have gas BBQs in the gardens which our guests are welcome to use.

Kind regards,

Doug "

While technically the cottage sleeps 8 and the family room sleeps 6, these accommodations are all Double beds .
Could get to be a bit 'too' cozy for some.

Personally, I would prefer a room with a queen size bed.

Comments anyone???

Cool!

I'll take a look when I get a chance.

Hey Paul

The Motel has new owners, but seems to have some of the old staff. From the Website looks like they have brightened the place up a little.

Hey

I have stayed at the Sands on Golden Lake and its a good place. I have also eaten in their dinner many times, last time in December. Its one of the better in the area. The town also has a couple of other restaurants. Its a good area.


Ted

I've stayed there a couple of times too! Food is pretty good. There is a Chinese food restaraunt in town and a little diner called the Sleepy Bear. They used to sell gas there as well but I'm not sure if they still do.

Hey All;

I know it's a winter shot, but here's a picture of a sample of the roads and scenery of the proposed 'XS'ive Madawaska Monkey Butt Rally', to get your senses warmed and primed

Check the length, curvature and decline of this road..... aaaahhhhhhhhhh

Hey Jim;

I hadn't heard back from you so, I thought that perhaps you and Phil had talked about this and had come to a decision, of sorts.

Going by Phil's query, looks like perhaps 14 people total? I got the impression from you that there was going to be quite a few more?

do we know how many people are going to partake in this ??
we need numbers before getting reservations at a place . Should this be placed in the Rallies section to see how many are interested or do you want this to be only for the Ontario bunch
just wondering
cautious
Jim

OK, how did you manage to sneak your post in there, right in the middle of my preparing a reply to Phil?

# Beds & availability

Hi Phil;

I'll check on the bed situation and availability but, I would think that the cottage and family room are still available.

I'll post a reply as soon as I get it from Mountain View.

Another possibility (good) is the Sands on Golden Lake. Standard room rates range from $90 - 93 per night, 2 beds (double or queen). They also have a cottage and chalets for $285 - 325 per night - each sleeps 6 or about $50.per night per person). Looks like a nice, upscale establishment. Hmmm, then again, might be too good for us!

Check out their site here: Sands on Golden Lake / accommodation

As of Monday, they only had July 17 & 18 available. All the rest was booked.

If you think that you might be interested in this one (chalets & cottage have 3 bedrooms in each and can accommodate 6 to 8 people), give Catherine Welk (sales & reservations) a call at:
1-800-565-2520 as soon as possible.

(You may want to let her know that you are following up on my (Ron Christoff) recent email to them.)

Hey Ted et al;

Jim and I have been discussing a number of options, Mountain View being one of them. As of Sunday, they were fully booked the weekend of the 10th but the rest were open.

Stay tuned.

Hi xsilerating,
I found the Mountain View also and it looks good to me.
The Cottage sleeps eight (how many beds?) and the Family room sleeps six (how many beds) might be enough? breakfast at the resturant is and a BBQ on the deck would solve dinner saturday night.
Can we get the nights of 17 & 18 July. I can call to morrow night.

Thanks for your help!
I think the more looking the more options we'll have. Like Phil said, it's early yet!

I'm wondering if a bed and breakfast or a lodge would suit our needs. I'm not familiar with the area but I noticed a place called Riverland Lodge and Camp located at hwy 60 & 523. You might have checked it out already. Just trying to help. Rick
