It’s that time of year when I send off the annual “Beaver”…our VBL newsletter to our friends and guests. This edition has hit the post office and should be winding it’s way as we speak. One of the main reasons for the newsletter is to recap the past season; refreshing the memories of our guests, and to let those who didn’t make it know what they missed. With a season such as 2020, it was a bit of a creative exercise…I hope you find it interesting.
Tom Thomson is a well regarded photographer from Kenora, Ontario. On a recent visit to the lodge Susanne asked if he was related to another Tom Thomson whom she had a framed picture of…
This latter Tom Thomson (check the yellow underlined link…he was a famous Canadian artist), turns out to be our visiting Tom’s great grandfather’s cousin….and a photo he hasn’t seen before.
Susanne originally bought the framed photo in the gift shop of the ferry that runs across Georgian Bay, from Manitoulin Island to Tobermory. Now that’s a coincidence!
A bit of a mixture of new and old. We hope that things return to normal in the coming months and that we’ll get to see most of you in the near future. Till then, stay safe and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
This is a first class resort located on Vermillion Bay on Eagle Lake. The cabins are very clean and well kept. The boats are new with new motors and are in great shape. The owner will also clean your fish for you after your day on the water. Make no mistake the fishing on Eagle Lake is world class.
The Lodge is owned by Gord and Susanne Bastable who will make you feel welcome and before you know it you feel like family. They are the best of hosts. The atmosphere is low key and laid back leading to a great vacation.
This is my 19th year of enjoying the hospitality of the lodge and i can’t think of going anywhere else on Eagle Lake.
