There are few things in the world more delightful than Clifford out with his Newfoundland Pony, Annie. His wife Shirley sent us these shots from last week, from what they believe will be the last sleigh ride of the season. She reports that the paths have broken down in the woods, and the sun is gaining its power, so it’s time to put the wintertime fun away. But we’re sure these rides were a bright spot in an otherwise dark season! 
Thanks for Clifford and Shirley for sharing this fun event. And if you’d like to see this sleigh-ride live, then check our this video!
Thanks, Zane!
We love when former guests and travelers share their photos of our Wonderful World of Whiteway. And since Sunday is Shag Rock day on the blog, we’re happy to share these lovely shots from Zane’s Photographical Journey, who reach out to share some photos he took last summer. Thanks, Zane, for sharing!
Easter Brunch Menu Set!
We’re happy to announce that our brilliant Chef Anna Dohey has come up with menu for our Easter Brunch at The Doctor’s House. Think Peach Mimosas, Spinach Salad, Quiche, Fresh Cake with Berries, and more. You can find the whole menu and more details here. And remember, the Easter Bunny will leave some treats in your room at The Doctor’s House if you arrive Easter weekend. Don’t wait to make your reservation!
Spring Specials at The Doctor’s House
A few days ago we wrote about our Spring Specials at the cottages, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t also point out that our sister property, The Doctor’s House, has some tempting offers, too. We’ll be open there for Easter and Mother’s Day, offering a fabulous brunch prepared by our in-house chef. We also have options to add a second night for $99, or two 60-minute Aveda spa treatments for $129. That, plus a relaxing Girls’ Retreat weekend, are already proving to be quite popular – so don’t wait too long to make a reservation! For all our specials, please see here.
Whiteway Spring Hare Coming Soon!
Coming up soon is one of our favourite things about Whiteway – the Spring Hare. We’ve been the past several years we’ve lived here, and we highly recommend it. Soaking up culture while supporting local artists and enjoying your community? Sign us us!
Mud Dogs
Friday and Murphy may seem like perfect gentlemen, but even their paws (and more) get muddy when they’re out playing in of the many watering holes around the cottages. But they’re so happy when the weather cooperates and we can take them out for a dip, that it’s worth the clean up! Thankfully, we welcome pets at the cottages for a small fee, so lots of dogs come stay with us, and our boys get to make new, fast friends. It’s always fun to chase old sticks with new friends.
Spring Specials
A little birdie told us – after all this weather, we’re in for a great spring. At least it will be if you come join us at the cottages! That’s why we’re excited to roll out our Spring Specials. All April and May, stay at any of our cottages and receive a complementary snack and movie basket and bottle of house wine. Or, take advantage our nearby sister property The Doctor’s House and add some luxurious spa packages to you stay. After this winter, you deserve it!
Beautiful Wedding Photos at The Doctor’s House
We haven’t hosted any weddings at The Doctor’s House yet – that’s coming up this summer. But last year a few couples came to take their wedding photos with us – it was learning experience for us, and they got to take some gorgeous shots.
Thank you to Krista Cooper, who recently shared these lovely photos taken last summer. Her sister-in-law Janice married Ace Steward last July. These beautiful images were taken by Sally Ledrew and Judi Stone, and while with such a gorgeous couple it would be hard to have anything less than stunning photos, we love how these capture the essence of The Doctor’s House, and how The Doctor’s House adds to their charm. Find more pictures of the happy couple on our Facebook site, and stay tuned, as we hope to share lots more happy wedding photos with you soon!
More Wedding Progress
Construction on the Big Barn for our upcoming first wedding season at The Doctor’s House continues. This past week was all about interior work. The great workers from Point Contracting are building the complicated roof arches inside the building. We hope they’ll start putting them up next week.
We are working on the electrical and lighting designs now. It’s all coming along!
Goodbye Sweet Molly
We’d like to take a break from our usually happy blogging to say goodbye to Molly, our sweet Devon Rex who passed away yesterday morning. We never had her as a kitten, as you see above – we hope that she enjoyed her adult years with us. She we beloved by all of us, including our goldens, and by everyone who met her. She was a rare creature and she will be missed.
If you have pets, you know how they become a part of your family. Below is how we’ll remember her.
