OUR GUESTS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!
Bill Simmons, Professional Engineer: Burlington, Ontario.
"Our family thrived through 19 straight summers at Clyffe House. The safe, sandy beach, great
swimming, bass fishing, tennis at our door, and walks at dusk for a cone, are fond parts of our
history. To be able to relax and recharge our batteries in a safe environment, and with hospitable
people we now know as friends, is a gift."
Peter Donovan, President of Donovan'sPainting and Decorating Company:
Toronto, Ontario.
"My family stayed at Clyffe House every summer for four generations. I have carried on the
tradition with my children. Family traditions are important and Muskoka will always be part of
mine."
Bob and Jacqueline Sargent, and sons Jared and Sean: Brampton, Ontario.
Clyffe House has been our summer refuge for the past 16 years. It?s a sanctuary from the city
and business life where time stops for family and enjoying what?s really important.Our children
have grown up there year after year, making life-long friends and experiencing the outdoors,
safely, on their terms, and creating life-long memories. We look forward to going back, year
after year; -seeing old friends, meeting new ones -canoeing in the morning mist to the cry of the
loons -swimming from the beach and sunning on the dock -walks to the village and the General
Store for ice cream -campfires on the beach and gooey marshmallows and a sing song -watching
a magnificent sunset and then stargazing deep into the night -snuggling down late at night with
a good book and listening to the quiet. Clyffe House-it?s part of our lives and part of our heart.
Mum, Dad and kids, we all look forward to coming back each year.
