Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us here at WRD!

05/01/2024

On this Travel Agent Appreciation Day, I would like to take the time to say a heartfelt "Thank You" to our outstanding staff!
This year we suddenly lost our President and my father, Bill Dewey. As one of the oldest cottage rental businesses in the region, we immediately decided to continue Bill's legacy of providing awesome cottage vacation experiences in the Ontario Highlands. It would not be possible without our amazing staff.
So please join me in appreciating Fran, Melanie and Pam for keeping the business running smoothly during our time of loss and change. They are the Big Hearts to our small business 💓

Visit our website, check out our 2024 lineup up of cottages and call our knowledgeable staff to book a vacation now while there is availability for this summer, fall and winter seasons!
