Hello Gord. I thought you might be interested to know that hits from cottage-resort.com continue to dominate the web site at the Chicchan Retreat Centre. In addition to the others, we've had several inquiries
about holding small weddings at our location.  Dorothy Pedersen, Chicchan Retreat Centre, Hillsburgh  www.chicchancentre.com

Felicity Barrington, The Chicchan Retreat Centre, Hillsburgh  www.chicchancentre.com 

Gord & Nancy,
Great news indeed! We are very pleased with the results of listing with Cottage-Resort.com. 
As new lodge owners, we were interested in web advertising that provided the broadest coverage for the best price. We also list with DueNorth and they provide all the links we need for customers interested in fishing holidays, and Cottage-Resort.com is providing links for those interested in family vacations, providing between 40-50% of our hits. With only these two web advertisers, we are receiving numerous hits and leads, so we are convinced we have spent our advertising dollars wisely.     Thanks for all the help!    Steve and Kathy Holt  Charlton Lake Camp  www.charltonlakecamp.com

Gord,
Many thanks for putting us on your highlighted list. I have checked our web hits and without doubt the majority are from your site ... over 80%
Thanks again  Gary,  Algonquin Inn

Thanks, Merry Christmas and all the best  to yourself and your family!  
P.S. We are getting a good traffic flow through your site. Thought you might appreciate hearing from your customers. Linda Hofstetter, Maple Brae Cottages

Bonnie Hamilton, Pine Vista Resort

Hi,
Our stats show that www.Cottage-Resort.com drives more traffic to our site that any other.
Thank You!!!!
Noni Kielty, Gananoque Inn

As we approach our 5th summer in business (2002!) we have enjoyed watching our business grow and the reservations come in earlier and earlier each year.  This past year we were booked solid for July & August by the end of March thanks in part to www.cottage-resort.com.  Lo & behold with early bookings comes more cancellations since life can throw a curve to everyone within a 12 month period.  Gord, your timely assistance in posting our vacancies as they came in due to these cancellations was of great help.  Every week that was cancelled was rebooked.  Some in less than a day all due to the exposure on www.cottage-resort.com.  As a result, every subsequent phone call that came in was referred to your web site in hopes that they would find accommodation elsewhere.  Great service and great results.  Thanks so much! Best regards, Peter & Pam Fischer Lake Edge Cottages, Bed & Breakfast (705) 652-9080 Reservation Line:  1-866-LAK-EDGE www.lakeedge.com

"Cottage-Resort.com" is the perfect phrase or combination that search
engines aim for when the public is looking for accommodations.  I would have
to say that at least 80% of our business this summer has come through your

Miranda. Silver Lake Cottage Resort, Parry Sound.

Just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with our presence on the internet through www.cottage-resort.com.  We have had many requests and  a few bookings from being with you for a month and it can only bring in more.  The vacancy page and pets welcome page have been particularly useful for us.  I just wanted to let you know!  You have helped make our first
season a success.  I have also passed on our experience to other resort  owners in the area and hope they give you a call. 
Thank you!  Marian & Rick  Marrick's Landing, Burleigh Falls

From March to June, our records show that we have had 15 reservations that are attributable to someone finding us through www.Cottage-Resort.com.

Just a quick note Gord, to thank you for a referral we got from your site.
We were able to sell a $ 300.00 Gift Certificate to a gentleman who said he found
our site through  cottage-resort.com .

Thank you very much for earlier suggestion that Aston Resort
would make a lovely site for a wedding reception. My fiance and I
went to see this it this past weekend and agree it is delightful.
Hello,
Your Web site was a great find. I wonder if you might be able to
help with some additional information. I'm hoping to be married next
year (September, 2000) in Port Carling and am looking for a
resort/inn  to hold the reception (it would need to accommodate
about 100 to 150 guests). Could you suggest any of the area
resorts that would be suitable for something like this.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Sharon

Everything at my fingertips.  Couldn't find a better place to find a
nice place to stay and found one- http://www.christiesmill.on.ca/

Thank you for such a great site !

Just to let you know that our inquiries are way up, and I suspect partly
because of the new cottage-resort site you run.
Mostly they are looking for what we don't have -- last week of July sort of
thing, but sooner or later they'll want the vacancies!
Nancy Tapley, Bondi Village Resort, Dwight, Ontario

Ask the folks at www.traveltomuskoka.com  about us.   Doug and Nora of

Hi Gord & Nancy,
Thank you so much. We are getting lots of e mail and telephone
follow-ups. Hope you are going to have a great season as well. All the best.
