Hello Paul and Joy.
Once again Amanda and I would like to thank you guys for the great time we had at your chalets as well as on the skidoo tour. The accomodations were second to none and the wonderful hospitality will never be topped. From waking up to the breath taking view of the Exploits river from our bed to the delicious meals prepared by Joy and the wonderful adventures with Paul we can't begin to tell you how much we enjoyed this vacation. We are already planning our visit for this summer and can't wait to ski doo with you again next winter. We arrived as customers but left as friends and we cannot wait to see our new friends again soon. All the best Rodney & Amanda Ryan

My second experience with Rafting Newfoundland came near the end of the Fleetwood Mac tribute tour. After over a week of travel and hotels we arrived at the Riverfront Chalets about three in the afternoon. It was warm for April and although the river was still frozen the gang took advantage of the outdoor hottub! We were thrilled to be there just as the river was about to open up from the winter freeze. That night we had our first home cooked meal in over a week and Paul lit a fire down by the river. Next day before soundcheck we snowshoed up to the second falls on Leech Brook. That river was in full spring flush and was quite the sight. Along the way we caught sight of a crow chasing a bald eagle away from a fox skeleton - not a familiar sight to a townie. It was very hard to go back on the road the next day. The new Chalets were totally excellent - three of us to a cabin was more than comfortable and everything from the cooking utensils to the linens and towels were first rate. And right outside the window all of nature's glory. My first experience with Paul and Joy came on my sixtieth birthday - my "surprise" gift was rafting down the Exploits. It was the perfect day - 32 degrees and full summer sun. I had the time of my life - I've always been a little bit obsessed with rivers and the Exploits is the grandaddy of them all. I had such a great day that I now figure a day on the Exploits with Paul and Joy will have to be an annual event. And even though we never did get to see "the ice crack and the river rush/ like a prisoner about to escape" if I may quote Ron Hynes, I think the spring break-up on the Exploits will be another event on my annual calendar. Paul was good enough to send pictures when the ice finally did give way. I tell everybody I run into about the rafting, chalets and great hospitality I enjoyed at Rafting NL. For me it's a new home away from home. `The Riverfront Chalets at Aspen Brook are truly the Jewel of the Exploits.......`

What a lovely stay at your chalets! They were beautiful, clean, quiet, and provided a great place to unwind from all of our traveling. The snowshoe hike up to the falls was awesome...as was seeing the Bald Eagle and mink on the railbed... I can't wait to bring my family back for some rafting later this summer. All the best!

We did the river rafting tour with Rafting Newfoundland last summer and had a blast. It was awesome. When we found out the chalets were open we couldn’t wait to try them out. We were looking for a nice, relaxing, stress-free place to unwind and we definitely found it. The chalets are absolutely beautiful with everything you could possibly need at your fingertips. The quality is top notch. The service was second to none. Paul and Joy certainly catered to all our needs and then some. They even invited us to a fire by the riverside. We opted for a ride in the UTV which we thoroughly enjoyed….even saw a hawk and way too many rabbits to count. We absolutely loved the hot tub…it was the icing on the cake and catapulted the 4 1/2 star into a 5 star experience. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be back for sure. Whether you want to just relax or if you have a more adventurous spirit and want to enjoy the great outdoors, this is the spot for you!

Belatedly we are writing to let you know how wonderful our trip was and how much we enjoyed staying in the Chalet. We stayed in March when the snow was still on the ground. You took us snowmobiling and snow-shoeing and we had a fabulous time. We loved the chalet and will be back very soon. Your knowledge of the local area and the time you spent with us made our trip very memorable. Thank you Paul and Joy and see you again real soon - we'll be back before you know it for the summer season.
