Monday, April 28th

It is such a beautiful day in the Haliburton Highlands.  The sun is warm - the birds are flitting around and to use a Thumper expression in Bambi, so many of them are "twitter pated"!    It is not just what we can see but there are also the sounds,  which includes the sound of the grouse thumping their wings and the woodpeckers  pecking away at anything that will make a loud noise (which includes gazebos, antennas or anything metal - the louder the better) to mark their territories.    Not to be left out the geese and ducks are walking in pairs on the frozen parts of the lakes and swimming on the remainder that is thawed.  Have not seen any any Loons or Hummingbirds, have to keep remembering everything two short weeks ago was snow covered!

Even though this is a large country side - you have to wonder how much territory is left after after the little and the big animals stakes their turf.  Thank goodness, the deer, moose and bear pick the Fall Season to do their thing.

It sure has been a long Winter but, being Canadian, it is being stored in the memory banks so we can talk about it a later date in a "remember when" story.

#MyHaliburtonHighlands posted this on Facebook today.  I think it says it all.

Enjoy this beautiful day

Welcome to the WRD Cottage Rental Blog

Saturday, April 26th, 2014

It has taken a lot of thought but today, we are stepping into the Blog World to let you know who we are and about our area.

WRD Cottage Rental Agency represents over 180 cottages around Central Ontario, Canada.   The Central Ontario we know includes, Haliburton Highands, Muskoka, Kawartha Lakes and the Ottawa Region with the majority of the cottages we represent being in the Haliburton Highlands.

We are a family oriented agency who has been in the business of putting families and vacations together for almost 20 years.   If you are one of many people who are wondering if you can afford a summer vacation, look upon cottage rental as the perfect way to have a great vacation without draining your bank account.  In addition, in a private cottage rental setting,  you get to schedule meal times,  recreation times, travel times and if you want to sleep in - you can (if the children will let you)!

The vast majority of the cottages are lake front.  Most of the cottages come equipped with TV's and games, many come with a boat or canoe of some type (you provide the water jackets).  All cottages provide family together time on your schedule.  We invite you to take a look at our web site http://www.ontariocottagerental.com and the broad range of prices per week over the summer months.  Fall, Winter and Spring some properties will provide weekend rentals.

We look forward to introducing you to the activities in and around us and introducing you to the beauty that is Central Ontario or as it is starting to become known as "The Land Between"
