CLYFFE HOUSE NEWSLETTER FALL 2014

AWARD: BUSINESS OF THE YEAR I was completely taken by surprise this fall when I attended a Chamber of Commerce meeting to listen to the three mayoralty candidates debate at Diamond in the Ruff Golf Course. The Chamber awarded Clyffe House its annual "Business of the Year" award. I hung up the plaque in the Main Lodge Apt front hall. They wouldn't name the person who nominated us: thank you whoever you are !! ARTICLE IN MUSKOKA MAGAZINE In the September edition of Muskoka Magazine, there was an excellent article about a group I belong to called the" Resorts of North Muskoka" (www.northmuskoka.com). Writer Kate Monk interviewed guests and owners at four resorts: Port Cunnington Lodge; Blue Spruce; Foxwood and Clyffe House. The author noted that this group of 14 old family-owned and operated resorts is characterized by a unique blend of personal attention from the owners who are also the managers; they have beautiful properties close to nature ( often acquired 100 years ago); lots of family-oriented activities; a very high rate of repeat business. There were excellent photos in the four-page article as well. NEW VIDEO: I wish to thank Virginia Hastings of Starshine Video Productions. Virginia made our first video which focused on family vacations at Clyffe House. She has just finished a second video which focuses on the Spring and Autumn seasons at Clyffe House. She does excellent work at a reasonable price. I highly recommend her. (Did you know that Canadians watch more on-line video than any other country in the world?)
