Glenn Burney Lodge will be opening its doors to all of our old and new friends May 1, 2012 for another wonderful season. We have some special announcements to make so stay tuned.

Double Rainbow at the lodge!

We value a good sleep here at the lodge, and find that many of our guests sleep in despite the best of intentions to rise early! Must be the fresh air and the amazingly comfortable beds!

So it was a rare day indeed when one of us was not only up but actually getting on the road just after 8am on Saturday, October 15th – en route to the Bala Cranberry Festival. The day ended miserably with wind and rain and more wind! Chilled to the bone after hours of standing outside at the festival!

However, that day started with pure magic! We’ll let the pictures tell the story of nature’s wonder here in Georgian Bay Rainbow Country:

Fall colours kissed by the sun with a halo of rainbows

This photos shows what the colours looked like in person. Vibrant and beautiful. Mother Nature's palette!

Georgian Bay – Rainbow Country!

Autumn Beauty

According to Ontario Travel, “The central region is starting to offer some nice fall colour. The region just north of the Parry Sound area is reporting a 50% colour change with colours more advanced south of Parry Sound to around 80% at this time. There are some beautiful pockets of yellow, orange and red. A great way to enjoy the colour season in this area of the province is aboard the 30,000 Island boat cruise.”

That means that the next few weeks are a perfect time to come visit Parry Sound. The lodge is surrounded by trees, and overlooks the lovely Isabella Island where the leaves are getting ready for the big show! There is already a smattering of red, but still enough green that you have a little bit of time to tell the boss that you need a couple of days away to recharge your batteries.

Ask us about our newest addition to the lodge – Cabin Four! (Affectionately known as the ‘House on the Hill’) Imagine taking a relaxing bath with a beautiful forest view. Or enjoying your morning coffee on your secluded private deck atop the Canadian Shield. After the sun sets, curl up on the couch and watch an old movie on your very own home theatre system.

The lodge is open until the end of October and we hope that you take advantage of this beautiful time of year and come for a visit soon!

Up, Up and Away!

This stopped by the lodge and took us for a ride along with our guests Tony and Judith of Opus Restaurant in Toronto. Rare DeHaviland DH-2 Turbine Beaver.

Big trucks for big docks!

From truck to air and finally into the water!

Another big project at the lodge! We’re replacing our docks so you’ll have plenty of room to come visit us by boat this summer!

Where do you think you'll tie up your boat?

Over at Connor Industries they’ve been busy cutting, welding, blasting and painting. It’s almost a shame to cover this dock foundation with wood!

The addition of the wood makes them look a bit less like part of a Star Trek set design, and more like the great dock space we are anticipating.

Stay tuned for more dock updates. We can’t wait to watch them being installed, but even better will be the first time we tie a cleat hitch knot to the dock!
