Hello everyone. Just dropping a line to say that the groomed trail and roads are good to go! We have a couple here today from Gander who didn’t take his machine because he assumed it was the same here as Gander. We went for a ride to check out the river situation in Badger and he is so sorry he didn’t take his machine. In fact he may go get it and lengthen his stay. We are due more snow tommorrow as well. The hot tub is great…everybody is enjoying it very much. We have all the chalets rented this weekend but we will have one free for tommorow night. Things are booking up very fast so if you are thinking about it and weekdays are not an option, you should contact us. Bye for now!

The laundry facililities are near completed and the fourth chalet should be ready for new years. It’s getting cold here…can’t wait to break out the snowshoes and snow machine!

Hello everyone. Just dropping a line to keep you up to date on what’s going on with Rafting Newfoundland. It’s going to be a busy week! For those of you who have stayed here, you have seen the potential for the landscaping. Well by the end of next week it’s going to be completed! I have a landscape technician hired to do the job and he’s very exited to get going. The road right from the highway will be upgraded with class A as well as the chalet driveways. Right after this landscaping is completed we will be concentrating on the raised deck in front of the chalets and surrounding the hot tub…all pressure treated. In addition to all this we are erecting a new, full color 5×10 lighted highway premises sign to replace the old one. I encourage anyone who may be looking for high end accommodations or if you are just curious to drop in and see the project. It is something special for Newfoundland!

Hello everyone. Just a quick note for new and returning customers about the hot tub. The tub is now turned 180 degrees so the two recliner seats are facing the river. Also, the owner of Bubbas Tubs was here and set the tub up as salt water. The water is crystal clear! The cover lifter is now installed and nicely suspended between the chalets and the tub wich gives you some more privacy. We will be starting on the tub deck next week…going to be nice! By the way those of you who have been in the tub and are interested in getting one yourself you should contact Greg at Bubbas Tubs in St John’s. He is a great guy and will bend over backwrds for his customers an his products are top quality! Now that I have one, I will never be without one…very theraputic. Talk to you soon

We have had a great summer this past season. The weather was awesome (for the most part) and we all had fun. Please let others know how much fun you had by submitting a testimonial to our site. It would be great if you could attach a picture too! If you stayed in our chalets or even had a tour of them, we would love to know what you thought of those as well. Testimonials are very benificial both to us as well as anyone thinking of paddling or staying with us so please take a few minutes. Thanks.

I would like to thank everyone who visited us this past summer. I expect we had our last tour last weekend (but don’t stop coming…the river is still flowing and Fall canoeing is the best!) and we had several swimmers at the chute. We all had a blast! We enjoyed each and everyone’s company over this past season and consider you all to be friends. What a great job we have! I am looking forward to this winter for skiing and snowmobiling but I sure miss being on the river everyday.
Three out of four chalets are completed and the fourth is near. We have had over 30 rental nights since late August and the response is extremely positive. The hot tub is a huge hit! We have had families, reunions and many honeymooners. Suprisingly almost half of the chalet clients were from Grand Falls-Windsor. This is great to see as they are sure to be back. We have already taken bookings up to Labor Day next year! We are nearly full for New Years….anyone for Christmas?
As many of you know we design our business growth and changes around what you guys want. At the later part of the rafting season, we asked you all if you would like to see UTV rentals (those side by side ATVs that are all the rage) . Pretty much all of you told us it would be a great option to have at the chalets. Well, we bought a 4 seater; basically a small jeep like vehicle. We had a honeymoon couple rent it yesterday and they had a great time touring around the back trails. They even took Key and Nook. I am sure many of you will try this thing out. It is great fun.
Anyway, sorry for the lengthy blog entry but it is the first to the site and I had a lot to say. Hope to see you guys this winter. We will take a run into our backcounrty chalet and have a boil-up!
