Ice out update…April 2, 2016

Here’s a view from the lodge this morning…

Things are gradually melting, but there is still a lot of ice.  When will it go?  You be the judge.  In the meantime I made another trip back into the portage lakes to make repairs and install the “magical sky winch”….

Fixed the ramp and broken boat seat in McGregor….ready to go!
Bring along my own power.
New seat bases.

The amazing sky winch. Will it work? Time will tell.
Boats ready for the opener!

Other things in the mix are the addition of the screened porch on cabin #3 and the interior renovations on cabin #5.  Here’s #5 in progress…….

Replacing the kitchen window.
Hello cabin six!
Two bedrooms become one.

Just a reminder that there are is still plenty of time to submit your ice out guess….you don’t even have to be a guest of VBL.   The only stipulation is should you win you must stop by to claim your prize.  Good luck!

Testimonials

If you’re looking for an outstanding vacation spot for the serious fisherman or a family get away you should consider Vermillion Bay Lodge on Eagle Lake, Ontario Canada. We have stayed at many lake resorts over the years, but none offer the simple pleasures of this one. The lake is large enough and holds enough fish for the most adventuresome fisherman and yet easy for local family fishing for young children. Bring your own boat or use one of the aluminum boats (20 hp) at the lodge. Boat dockage is well protected from the wind and allows easy access to the water.

What sets this lodge apart from most others is it is always clean, well kept with lots to do including paddle boats canoes, bon fires in the evenings and a just plain friendly atmosphere.
