<<< Summer 2005 >>>
	Saw white tailed deer, raccoons, red squirrels, and chipmunks that fed from our hands. Lovely. What I most enjoyed about the Smilin' Moose was jumping in the lake and using the kayak. I also enjoyed digging a huge hole on the beach and making a river leading to it. Thanks 4 everything!!! Loved the location of this place, right combination of wilderness and modern essentials (electricity). As a geology student the landscape is something I'll never forget. Thanks for giving me the chance to experience Canada for the first but not the last time. Hope the deer skull [we found] helps add to the collection.

(Don, Patti, Emma, Sophie & Maya- 2 weeks in July&Aug/05) Enjoyed a fabulous time filled with extraordinary activity! This is a very nice place. We were not alone: River Otter, Deer, Muskrat, Raccoon and Ribbon Snake were with us and a Black Bear had been spotted on Bartlett Dr. Thank you very much for sharing this great place!!! (Alexandra, Hans & children 2 weeks in July /05) Once again, the Smilin' Moose delivered on the promise of a great family vacation. We took advantage of every single amenity offered, including the Golf Access Book :) The beach, the boat, badminton, and the Canada Day bonfire - complete with fireworks and roasted marshmallows - were huge hits! Although some of us didn't go in the canoe... not wanting a repeat of the "tippy canoe on the calmest lake ever" incident of 2004 ;) The availability of the sports channels were welcomed with great enthusiasm as many a night was spent catching up on the various scores! A great big "THANK YOU!!!" to Marj and Pete for your hospitality. The kids didn't want to go home... as they put it, "This feels like home." We've all had a terrific time. Thank you sooo much. Best Regards, (the Tunney, Swiddle, Braeken Families July /05)
