 Traditional Canadian Log Cabin Christmas
December 24-27, 2005
I just wanted to write and say how much Pete and I enjoyed our Log Cabin Christmas! We had the most wonderful time with Pete as our guide and with Joe providing such fabulous meals! The company was great and of course the weather was absolutely fabulous - lots and lots of snow!
The activities were most enjoyable. We'll have to go some to top this Christmas - hopefully be back again one year, thank you very, very much!

 Algonquin Park 3-Day Log Cabin Adventure
May 30 - June 1, 2005
We recently joined you in the Algonquin Log Cabin for the Pathways tour and
now that we have returned to England I just wanted to drop you a quick note
to say how much we enjoyed our stay at the Log Cabin. In particular we
enjoyed the sunset and sunrise paddles. The sunrise paddle is one we really
will never forget. The images of the misty lake with Moose browsing on water
lilies as the sun rose was unforgettable.
Most of all I would like to say what outstanding guides you have working for
you. Mike was very friendly and good company, Dan was superb and very knowledgeable and also good company. Most of our time though was spent with Kendra and she was a fantastic guide with a huge amount of knowledge.
All three are excellent representatives of your company and I think you are very lucky to have such wonderful members of staff. I hope that you
can pass our thanks on to them for us.
We very much hope to return one day to do one of your winter tours.
Many thanks,
Andy, Michelle and Kirsty Neaves |

January 27-20, 2005
Dear Voyageur Quest:
I would like to take this oportunity to thank your company for the fantastic
weekend myself and Emily spent at your log cabin and in the wall tent. I can
say without one iota of doubt that it was the single best weekend of our
lives, in every possible way. The location of the cabin is fantastic, the
cabin itself is beautiful and comfortable, the nature is beyond words, the
food was better than I could have possibly imagined, and the best part of
all - the Voyageur Quest guides! Chris and Andrew were polite, efficient,
competent, friendly, funny, master-chefs...the list goes on. They are a
credit and a major asset to your fine company. You will definitely be seeing
us again!
I attach a photo with our happy faces during the weekend.
Best regards,
Allen Milcic and Emily Burtnik

 Algonquin Winter Cottage Getaway
February 28 to March 3, 2005
I can't tell you how much my husband and I enjoyed our time in Algonquin last week. The fresh snowfall made the already picturesque setting a true winter wonderland. The facilities were great, Mike was great, and the weather was perfect!
Thank you both so much for the opportunity to experience what you have been telling us about for years. I am so grateful I made it out there.
We also had a chance to stop by the Log Cabin....it is incredible! I bet it's even better in the summer. You have a great thing going.
I've enlcosed a few photos of our trip. Thank you again for everything!
My best regards,

Griswold Family - Clarence, New York
 Algonquin Family Winter Adventure Vacation
February 13-16, 2004
Our trip was AWESOME! We'd like to congratulate you for operating a first-class tour company! Naturally, we are very exhausted and exhilarated after our trip. Our family thanks you for the wonderful experience.
Kris and Trevor were a perfect match for us. They were very professional yet fit in so well with our family dynamics. Trevor related wonderfully to our children and we loved his silly games. Star gazing with him was truly amazing! Kris was very nurturing and organized, and she cooked awesome meals!
The park trails are gorgeous and our explorations were challenging enough that we felt accomplished at the end of each day! The cottages were lovely and comfortable. We were grateful for a cozy and clean "home" to snuggle in.
Haliburton was a great finale for us animal lovers and definitely worth the ride. Dogsledding was a huge hit, as were the captive wolves and the education we received...we had the museum to ourselves!
Regards to Kris and Trevor- hope they enjoyed our stay as much as we did! Did they mention the "Griswold Trail"? We could make a movie...
Warm regards and many thanks,
Amelia & John, Amanda, Jake, Alex, John and Emma Griswold |

Our three week family holiday in Ontario this summer was excellent.
The highlight was our time spent in Algonquin. Our kids enjoyed every
minute and when friends and family ask 'what did you do in Canada?' our trip with you is the starting point.
Particular thanks to our excellent guide Kris- whose spaghetti is still
rated by our 7 yr old as his favourite holiday meal!

I want to take this opportunity to compliment you on your fantastic staff.
They were all warm, friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable and most importantly, fun, people!
Besides the wonderful accomodations, beautiful location, and excellent food, it was your staff that made this trip a memorable one. I had to tear people away from the place when it was time to leave.
The trip was perfect in every respect, exceeding all my expectations. We'll
be back.

The experience was simply wonderful. Such a fabulous respite from the noise and stress of urban life. The accommodation was terrific, more luxurious than expected. I?ve had lots of holiday experiences over the last 30 years and this was one of the best. We were catered to, fussed over, entertained and offered a wide variety of outdoor experiences. Kris is the veritable den mother who was just totally amazing. Trevor, funny enthusiastic always smiling and up for any adventure and sweet Abby who told wonderful tales, serenaded us and was a wealth of knowledge about the forest. Thanks so much!

The Ross Family - Ohio, United States
 Algonquin Park 3 Day Canoe Trip
June 27-29, 2005
Greetings.
We are back from our Canadian vacation, and are now looking back especially on what a great experience the Algonquin portion of the trip was for us. It could not have been better.....the canoeing, swimming, island venturing, portaging, great weather, moose watching, outstanding meals, logistics, solitude, your advanced planning on our behalf, everything was excellent. We would like to thank each of you.
Mike was the best we could have imagined.....leadership, adventuring, cooking (gosh, what great food and so well prepared), storyteller, moosefinder (we saw our fair share, including up close and personal with one memorable moose one morning).
If we venture back up to Canada for a wilderness adventure (maybe a winter one next time), we'll be sure to give you a call.
Again, our sincere thanks,
Jeff, Bev, Mike, Katie, and Matthew Ross
