Dear Brian and Rita

…we purchased a cottage and therefore won’t be returning…We have enjoyed your hospitality over the last 16 years…

We will miss the many, many friends that we have made at Clear Lake and will miss your wonderful method of running your resort. It has always been such a relief each year to see that you care more for your guests than you do for quick cash and nickel and dime methods of other resorts. That is one of the prime reasons we decided to return to Clearview all these years. Your pricing has always been fair and the extra’s that you do for all of us have been outstanding.

Thanks for the opportunity that you gave Andrea and Scott to learn to fish, water ski, Kick the can, Hide and go seek, volleyball etc. and the best learning experience of all making lifelong friends.

We will certainly miss you Brian and Rita and your four wonderful children (Nick, Brianne, Jillian, and Clearview Cottage Resort). Yes we know that Clearview is a child to you as you nurture it every year and watch it grow.

Thanks for all the memories and all the best to you.

Your good friends

Deb, Angus, Andrea and Scott

We had a great time! Just like the Nissan Xterra marketing slogan “Everything you need, nothing you don’t.” Thanks for the “everything”. It was a true vacation for us.

Steve and Beth

Thank you once again for a fabulous week. It was really your excellent hospitality that makes the Clearview experience such a memorable one and we wanted to let you know how much it is appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again next year.

After 17 years of vacationing at Clearview Resort, Linda and I finally decided to sit down with a pen and paper and put our thoughts in writing. You will quickly find that we are not poets, however we’ve had these thoughts and words in our heads for the past many years while in our lounge chairs watching Brian skiing for hours and Rita pushing that lawnmower around. We feel fortunate that Blair directed us towards your resort after giving up our power yacht. We still needed that up north fix and Clearview has more than met that need. We know it’s a lot of work to run a business and it’s demanding at times and I’m sure sometimes you wonder if it’s appreciated. Trust us it’s appreciated!

CLEARVIEW MEMORIES

When the last evidence of winter is gone
We can only anticipate that early spring spawn
There’s a place we so long to be
With lots of old friends we can’t wait to see

So we hook on the boat and pack up the truck
We’ll breeze through Toronto with a little bit of luck
Twenty green cottages all lined in a row
That’s what you’ll find at the end of this rainbow

There’s Brian and Rita, who’s cute as a button
They’ll do anything for you, they’ll stop at nothin’
They built us a hut to help us clean fish
It’s pickerel were hoping will fill up the dish

Tomorrow could be bass or even a perch
Over every weed bed were out on a search
With a tug on the rod and a pull on the line
I th9ink we got a walleye that feels mighty fine

There’s skiing, tubing and a campfire at night
Shuffleboard, horseshoes and much playing in sight
The spring northern lights take our breath away
And the shooting stars that have gone astray

With osprey, heron and wildlife of every sort
You know you’re vacationing at Clearview Resort
There’s the sound of bullfrogs and the call of the loon
And a whispering voice saying…”come back soon”

We love to fish and we’ll never stop tryin’
But most of all “thank you” to our hosts Rita and Brian

Gary and Linda
