Almost all of our guests have taken the time to leave us a hand written note in the cottage or send us an email upon departure telling us of the great time they had.
Here is a sample of their comments:
| Julia February 2008 |
Thank you for an exceptionally clean and welcoming cottage. Everything we forgot at home: tea towels, tea, peanut butter, we found there.
We all enjoyed the wood stove in the evenings, and watched a few of your movies too.
We sincerely thank you for your hospitality, and we would certainly come back again.
| Shelly & Family January 2008 |
| Christine & family Xmas 2007 |
Thank-you so much for the little special touches & xmas decorations, you have thought of everything. We will definitely be back to this special place.
| Ken and family Xmas 2007 |
Thanks, Ken
| Russ and Christine and family Xmas 2007 |
Thanks again! Christine
| Ron and Maryane and family Thanksgiving weekend 2007 |
I have been raving about it to everyone at work, we had the best time. I was shocked at the well stocked cottage and all of the little extras like the thanksgiving napkins, wine and pumpkin at the door you left behind.
We are already planning our thanksgiving 2008 with you. It rained quite a bit but no one seemed to notice with the cozy woodstove and all of the dvd's and magazines that were there.
Thanks again for the best time ever!!
Maryane
| Chantal Sept 2007 |
Your Cottage was a very quite and cozy place to escape the world if only for a few days. We will be dealing with you more thought the skiing season and for ATV trails in the near future.
Again we would like to thank you for your hospitality.
Cheers,
Chantal

Just wanted to let you know that we were very happy with our stay and enjoyed the time relaxing, swimming, biking and hiking. Thanks again for everything and we will definitely keep it in mind for next year!
Thanks again, Monique
| Greg July 2007 |
The place really felt like a home away from home. We had a few guests and now I fear we may need to compete to book the place the next time we come to the track. :) Oh well, at least I have the satisfaction of knowing I found it first.
Thanks again.
Regards, Greg
| Earl, Connie and Nathan July 2007 |
The chalet itself was very nice and all the room that we needed. We will check back with you shortly for winter availability. We might take a look at the other chalet too. We are looking for a weekend getaway in the winter with our family and our stepchildren.
| Jenna May 2007 |
The girls and I had a wonderful time up at the cottage. Everything was provided for us and many little extras.
Thanks again for letting us stay, and we are already trying to get
time off work to visit again.

Hi Randy,
|
Donna & Family May 2007
Hi Randy, Thank you so much - the chalet was lovely! Great view of the peaks too. I think the kids outnumbered the adults at the party - everybody had a great time and the location was perfect. Brendan was pretty impressed with the "indian teepee" out back. Calabogie has definitely changed since I was there - the Porsche's in the parking lot at the Peaks outnumbered the "regular" cars. We'll definitely keep the chalet at the top of our list when we're heading back that way and have already recommended it to a number of others. Thanks again!! Donna

Jennifer & Devin February 2007 |
We wanted to let you know that our stay at Peaksview Chalet from Feb 23-25 was fantastic.
The chalet was more than we ever imagined. Not only was it clean and well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, but the view and the sunlight that streamed through the large open windows was phenomenal.
We enjoyed our time playing some of the board games in the chalet, hiking on local trails, and building warm fires in the woodstove. We found our stay incredibly relaxing and comfortable. We are eager to return to your chalet over the next year to enjoy the area throughout the different seasons.
Thank you very much for renting your chalet to us and offering us a little haven away from the city. You'll definitely hear from us again, as we find ourselves already trying to plan our next getaway...
Thank you and take care, Jennifer & Devin

Cheryl February 2007 |
Jim and I enjoyed the tranquility for the week and the group of women who arrived on Friday had nothing but praise for the beauty of the location and of the chalet.
We most certainly will return if you will have us and will recommend your home to our friends.
Thanks again Randy for a wonderful stay.

Thanks again!

Beej & Clan October 2006 |
Hi Randy! We had a wonderful time on the weekend, played golf, hiked, etc. Your chalet is very well equipped and very comfortable. I cannot think of any improvements at all and I'm sure we will use it again and will highly recommend it to friends!
Thanks again for "your hospitality"!!

Sharon & Trevor September 2006 |
Hi Randy,
The area around the chalet is great. It stopped raining long enough for us to do the short hike up to Eagle's Nest - the view was amazing! I thought the chalet was very clean (cleaner than our house!) and the whole system of booking, getting the keys etc. could not have been more well organized. Trevor is already talking about wanting to come back and go skiing one weekend over the winter.
Thank you again,
Sharon

Dan and Susanne August 2006 |
Good Evening Randy. The four of us had a wonderful stay. I only have one compliant... the holidays were over too soon. The chalet is very nicely laid out and it make anyone staying there feel at home. Thanks again and yes I have told a few of my co-workers about your chalet as they were interested.
Thanks Dan and Susanne

Sylvie & family July 2006 |
We enjoyed playing many of the games you had at the cottage. Our eldest is just old enough now to play along, we bent the rules a little for Sarah the 4 year old!
Calabogie beach was nice, we rented a kayak for a day, I spotted a loon, a turtle and a Blue Heron. We enjoyed visiting Burnstown (I had to get my cafe au latté fix).
We got all dressed up to go to the Duck restaurant on Tuesday night to find out they are closed on Tuesdays, so we ate in Renfrew.
So we'll have to come back to eat at the Duck sometime!
Thanks again! Take care.

Michelle, Larry, Justin, Ashley June 2006 |
Thank you so much for the great chalet. We all loved it! My kids drooled over the movies & had to restrain them from watching them! We are all looking forward to our next visit, probably in the winter.
|
Kylie April 2006 |
Thank you so much for the use of your chalet. It was a comfortable stay, we felt right at home. Also thank you for allowing us to bring our little dog, on late notice, we truly appreciate it. My husband and I will be sorting out summer holiday schedules this week; we would like to rent the chalet again in the Summer time. We will be in touch soon.
Thanks again Kylie

Thanks, we had a great week.
Thanks again,

Whitney February 2006 |
What a beautiful chalet you have. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. It had everything we could possibly need or want. The weather wasn't on our side unfortunately, but there were lots of movies and board games to keep us busy by the nice warm fire place.
We definitely plan on coming back another time, and we will recommend it to others. Thank you for your hospitality, and we hope to come back soon.
Whitney
P.S. Thanks for the chocolates.

Ann-Marie January 2006 |
Hi Randy
The chalet was a real treat again this year! The weather was perfect and the ski conditions the best we have had at Calabogie. Packing is a lot easier when you don’t have to bring all the extras. The kids really enjoyed the movies and games in the evening. The wood stove was warm and cozy in the evening.
Your new floors are beautiful.
We’re all looking forward to returning again next year.
|
Jess January 2006 |
Pete and I had a wonderful time at your cottage and even ended up getting engaged on the final day of our trip!
I'm sure that we will always hold a special place in our hearts for Peaksview Chalet.
|
Jim, Gisele & Jonathan Xmas 2005 |
Randy: Our stay at Peaksview Chalet was without a doubt a wonderful Christmas retreat for our family. Your chalet provides all the comforts of home. It is very comfortable, clean, and well equipped with everything you could possibly need.
The chalet is situated on a beautiful piece of property with a spectacular view of the mountain. It provided something for everyone in our family; hiking, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, movie watching, board games, reading or just relaxing.
We would definitely recommend Peaksview Chalet to our family, friends and co-workers and look forward to an another opportunity to return.
Thank you for your hospitality.

Marc & Lisa October 2005 |
Hi Randy,
Lisa and I spent a very nice weekend at the cottage. Great walking trails in the area with spectacular view at Eagle's nest. Very clean and quiet location, we got some great relaxing done. thank you, Marc

Anne October 2005 |
Thank you. The choice of wines was a surprise and welcome touch. The cottage is quiet and private, in fact we seldom saw anyone.
|
Jayne October 2005 |
Cheers and thanks again. I will definitely be
recommending you to our friends who like to ski. Thanks.
|
Sherry October 2005 |
Thanks Randy! We had a really nice stay and even saw some wild life -- well, a skunk. No close encounters, however.

Rose & Family September 2005 |
Hi Randy! Just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time! Here are our favorite things....
Savannah - satellite tv, Zach - movies and mountain biking, Holleigh - scrabble and Cranium, Gabrielle - twirly stairs and twirly bar stools, Quinton - the fire "pit", Kelvin - no work, BBQ, movies, Rose (me) the amazing view (day and night) mountain biking, cozy well equipped chalet, the games and nice new appliances!
We hope you get a chance to visit your own place too!
Thanks again! We have already recommended the Chalet! And because the family hardly wanted to leave the chalet, we have to go back to Ottawa again...we know where we would love to stay!!
Take care, Rose and Family
Melanie August 2005 |
Hi Randy!
We absolutely loved it. There was more gadgets and things in that kitchen than what I have in mine. What a gorgeous place to relax and enjoy the countryside.
Everard August 2005 |
We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at Peaksview......The Chalet was everything we expected and more, and had everything we needed to make our all-to-short vacation a real pleasure. I'll definitely be calling you again.
Gene & Lois August 2005 |
Enjoyed our stay here,. Thank you for the wine too! Had a great view from the ski lift, could always see the red roof of the chalet. Its been a relaxing stay.
Steve was a great and helpful neighbor.
|
Leslie & Family March 2005 |
Hi Randy, we had a wonderful family get away. We enjoyed your chalet so much that no one wanted to leave it to go out for dinner! Next time we come we'll stay longer.
The chalet was even better equipped than home....:-) Thanks again.

Kelly March 2005 |
Randy,
I just wanted to let you know that our family had such a wonderful time in Calabogie. Your chalet is so beautiful. I will be looking on the website to see what is available for the summer months. We would love to visit again. I will recommend your chalet to everyone I talk to about Calabogie. I will also put my comments on the website, but I just wanted to send you a personal note. What a beautiful place you have.

Hi Randy ,
We enjoyed our stay and were completely seduced by the countryside under the magical snow last week-end. You sure are honest when it is mentioned on the web site that it's very well equipped, we were surprised how well!
|
Jennifer-January 2005 |
Hi ,
My stay was great! Again, my thanks for all your help! We had such a great time last weekend that my husband wants to rent the chalet again!

We
loved Peaksview Chalet, it was a perfect getaway from
Chalet is incredibly well laid out and even better equipped – just bring food and everything you have at home is already there (and more!). The deck was nice, large and perfect for star gazing at night. Chalet is really close to amazing hiking trails and is really close to the beach.
We cannot wait to come back in
the winter and again next summer! Everything was exactly like it looked on the
pictures and even better!

Hi Randy, everything was wonderful at the chalet and the skiing was superb. I cannot think of anything that I would suggest to change as I feel the chalet is well equipped and has a nice homey atmosphere.
| Linda March 2004 |
I am back to reality (work) now after my stay at Peaksview Chalet. It is a wonderful spot and my family enjoyed it thoroughly. The skiing was great. There is nothing but good I can say, everything was at our disposal
| Scenery is breath taking | |
| Comfortable and relaxing chalet, very cozy | |
| Pleasure renting from you (ease) - felt at home | |
| Will definitely be calling again to rent |
| Bert March 2004 |
We had a wonderful trip... The four of us enjoyed our stay very much! A very relaxing (emphasis on the "x" zzzzz) weekend. Weather was excellent. Accommodations we're great! We were all very impressed, and some of the women in the group are hard to impress :) :)
Excellent weekend all around, We'll be booking with you for the summer with my children....
| Carey Feb 2004 |
The boys were snow skating down the front walkway and we got new snowshoes for Christmas that we were able to try out. I am sure we will rent again and that we can also drum up some business for you!
| Carrie Oct 2003 |
Thanks for everything we loved staying there, very lovely cottage and beautiful nature.
Thanks for the hospitality and I will spread the word of what a great chalet you have!
Thanks again
| Guy Sept 2003 |
Had a great BBQ on Friday night with great cuts of steaks.
We spent Saturday on the lake and
caught 6 walleye and on Sunday 7 walleye. ( best part )
I want to thank you for renting me the chalet and look forward to doing it again.
| Aditya Sept 2003 |
First of all - I will congratulate you for being able to setup and maintain the Chalet so wonderfully. It was a real pleasure seeing such a nice place you have.
Everything was taken care of. If someone really needed something while there - they would find it. I never expected that we will find a electric hand mixer (we needed for making the pancake mix from scratch). Lo and behold - we found it.
We really enjoyed your place - and you bet - we will be back some other time for sure.
Congratulations
| Raymond and Fiona - August 2003 |
We all had a great time at your Chalet. Everyone was quite impressed with the cleanliness, size, and amenities provided. It certainly was a great help with water and other household supplies (paper towels, cutlery, plates, glasses, etc) being provided. As it was, our vehicle was packed to the brim with food, clothes and other things we needed during the week.
All in all, we would love to come back someday and spend another relaxing week. Weather was great when we were there so we couldn't ask for more. Oh, and the Duck restaurant at the Lodge was fantastic (we decided to give ourselves a break from cooking and cleaning on our last night there), great food. Thanks for a great week.
| Fay - March 2003 |
Randy: the gals and I are already planning a third visit to Peaksview, next winter. This is becoming an annual retreat for us: we call it the Spa-de-dah retreat (which is mostly just lah-de-dah talk for a weekend without husbands, computers, pets'n'kids--you know the drill!).
Arriving for our second visit was like coming home.
You and your co-owner(s) have done a lovely job and I hope you get to spend as much time there as you want, too!
On Sunday morning after the big snowfall, two of us went outside to shovel. I had done half the driveway when someone came and plowed the rest. Now, Peaksview is so well equipped that I was sure the lane would be blown clear by someone you hired, but the snow was so light and the morning so engaging that we just had to get out and do something in it.
| Lee-Anne - March 2003 |
I just wanted to let you know that everything was WONDERFUL last week at the chalet. I love to cook and your kitchen was just perfect to feed three hungry skiers! All of the little extras were what made the difference. ( the well equipped kitchen, videos, stereo etc.) The view out our front window allowed me to watch the guys as they skied. They would radio me and I could grab the binoculars, (another nice touch!) and I would watch them come down! As I said, I logged a lot of time in there last week and it really couldn't have been more comfortable. We look forward to renting from you again.
| Paul- Jan 2003 |
We had a great time last weekend. Love the place. looking forward to returning in February.
| Brendon- Jan 2003 |
The Chalet was more than I had expected. We had a wonderful time with the brisk winter days, the beautiful views and all the amenities of home. You really do have a wonderful place here. Thanks again and I am sure you will hear from us again in the future.
| Sonia & Francois-

We just came back from your cottage and it was great. We had a great time, both inside and outside. Thank you very much

| Christa-
Jan 2003
Thank you so much for everything. It was so thoughtful of you to leave us a bottle of sparkling wine. It came in very handy on New Year's Eve. The bottle was so pretty that we brought it home with us to make a candle holder out of it. We really enjoyed our stay at Peaksview Chalet. The chalet is incredibly well equipped. We went a many walks on the trails in the woods. I picked a few of your business cards and have begun handing them out to friends who may be interested in renting. (Christa even left us a wrapped Xmas gift which is now a part of the chalet) |

We enjoyed the chalet and the services provided. We had a lovely hike and did not see any hunters!! I thought the chalet was very well equipped and offered a great tranquil setting. I would not hesitate to recommend the chalet to my clients as a retreat for a bit of R and R or an alternative to a hotel accommodation for golf or skiing. I think it is well located with easy access from Ottawa or other areas linked to the major highways in the Calabogie region. I also enjoyed the view from the balcony and the living room. -Fred

| Joanne- November 2002
The chalet was PERFECT! We absolutely had a great time and I know for a fact that the other girls feel the same. The best was the beautiful windows, the wood stove and the wonderful and peaceful ambiance of the chalet. Thanks again!

| Tina- August 2002
(Hand written note) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful Chalet. It is extremely well equipped and the property very private and peaceful. Thank you for a wonderful week in your beautiful Chalet. (Email) One other thing. The chalet was extremely well equipped. Have you considered listing on your web site the items that are included such as: a coffee maker, fans, wine glasses, pots and pans, a toaster, etc. Just an idea. That's about it. Of course we'll recommend the chalet to friends and family. (thanks for the idea Tina (Chalet supplies) )

| Michelle- August 2002
Thank you letting us enjoy your chalet. The view was fantastic & so is the beach. The kids had the time of their lives.
| |
| Terry- July 2002
Thank you for the great week. We found everything as advertised. We will happily consider Peaksview in the future. We loved the fans and the trails.

| Jocelyn, Jo, Rowena and
Joey- April 2002
Had a Wonderful four days. The cottage is delightful and so well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
| |
| Neil- March 2002
Thank you for having such a nice place. The weather cooperated and the kids enjoyed most of the week skiing at the Peaks. We enjoyed our stay and expect we will consider the Peaksview Chalet the next time we want a get away from the city. It took a little while to get use to not having a phone, especially when our cell phones were just out of range. Sure saved us a bundle when it came to the Pay TV that was available through the Bell ExpressVu.

| Michel - March 2002 |
We had a great time. The chalet is very charming and the view is lovely. We even went skiing! My friends are already talking of returning next year – early February 2003.
| Robert & Michelle - February 2002 |
We had a great time here this past weekend and also enjoyed two days of Skiing! We will definitely be back!
| Dan - February 2002 |
By the way, thanks for the cottage it was a great weekend. You have a very nice and comfortable cottage, we were impressed. The view to the ski hill is really nice at night with the lights. We enjoyed an afternoon of downhill skiing and made it back to the cottage in approx 3 minutes.
| Iulian - December 2001 |
The service was impeccable, everything was fine, new and functional. The chalet is very well located and maintained, we were enjoying every minute there. I will recommend the chalet to my colleagues and friends here in Toronto and also to our relatives and friends in Montreal. I’d like to come over there in the summer time too. Until then, thank you again and have a good and happy new year.
| Vida -November 2001 |
Thanks for the opportunity to stay at the Chalet. It was wonderful. The weather was spectacular, but I was almost hoping for some rain or snow so that we could stay inside where it was cozy and watch the rain.
| Sophia -November 2001 |
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful weekend - it was surreal. The view was just breath taking and the chalet was far better / more comfortable / prettier than I could every imagine. We couldn't be more thankful for your hospitality and hope to visit the chalet back soon.
| Lisa and Allan -October 2001 |
We enjoyed our stay at the Chalet this past weekend. The chalet was exactly what we expected, it was cozy and quaint; a perfect getaway not far from home. We would love to go back and stay again sometime.
| Brian and Diane
-Summer 2001 Had a relaxing 10 days of R & R! This is a beautiful place to visit . I'm sure other people who rent the Chalet will enjoy it as much as we did!
|
| Darren, Nikki
and Ashley -Summer 2001 We wanted to thank you for the rental of the cottage. Our daughter enjoyed herself thoroughly and thought the slanted roofs in the bedrooms were really neat. The beach was great....we were able to go out in a canoe and try the new kayaks as well. Thanks again

| Cilily and
Michael -Summer 2001
Just to let you know.......we all had a wonderful time!! Peaksview was so well equipped and comfortable, all we had to do was relax and enjoy ourselves. For sure we would not hesitate to return for another vacation, or to recommend Peaksview to others. |
