Looking at these photos though...it would be beautiful!

AROWHON PINES...the perfect holiday gift
We've had a number of calls from "the kids" (in their 30's, 40's & 50's)
buying gift certificates for their parents this holiday season.
They've bought a dinner, a weekend stay and even a dreamy week for two!

We can send you a lovely Arowhon Pines card that you can personalize and put under the tree.
No malls! No lineups! And a gift that they will love - guaranteed!

Closing Up Fall 2011
Happy End of Movember! We made a donation to the Algonquin Park "Moose-tache" volonteer team for this very good cause. Gentlemen, you all look mmmmmarvelous!
Arowhon Pines closed just over a month ago. On our last night, the staff celebrated with a wonderful Thanksgiving feast and party!
Our staff is an active one. The Newfoundland contingent - Lily, Sue and Edwin headed back to Englee to live their winter lives by the sea. They will occasionally email us a photo of the icebergs they can see out their windows. Two other couples left Arowhon and on the same day, headed to Florida on a "road trip" for some "R and R". One of our Irishmen in the dining room with the attractive German waitress travelled together to Chicago and New York City !!? Some others went west to work and ski - or rather, ski and work. One of our cooks landed a job in a fine Montreal restaurant. Just today, Peter and Nora sent an email greeting from Lima, Peru - they are on a 4 month trip around South America. Au revoir to them all, happy winter and see you next spring!
Our carpentry and maintenance crew are still hard at work completing our long list of renovations before the snow sets in. Our work includes new bathrooms for Forestedge, Cedarview, Lakeview, Moosewood, Hilltop Left, Westview, and Bridgewood 22, 23, 24 & 29! There will also be new carpet for the cabins "up the hill" and large new decks for Lakeview and Cedarview. We're very excited!

Happy Birthday Helen!
Yesterday, September 17th, Helen celebrated her 80th birthday! Many of her friends made the trek to surprise her - Doreen, Jeanine, Lucille from Ireland, John and Maureen, The Nymans, Mona, Olive and Alfred, David, Joy and her mom, and Frank - plus some longtime guests! After a pontoon boat ride of the gorgeous lakes around Arowhon, we had a fantastic time around the piano with Jack Hutton. We tapped our toes to the ragtime music, sang Broadway hits and danced! Afterwards, we all enjoyed a lovely dinner! All in all a fabulous time! Here are some photos to share with you:

Wedding August 2011
Our time at Arowhon was precious and everyone that we encountered went out of their way to assist us in making our celebration particularly memorable. Should anyone else enquire, we would also not hesitate to recommend Heather Douglas as a photographer and Tom Brown as a celebrant. They were both marvelous.
Please can you thank all the staff at Arowhon Pines for contributing to making our wedding the terrific affair that it was.
Warm regards,
(A Happy Couple)
