Spring and Fall are called the shoulder seasons in the Haliburton Highlands. These are quieter times when you can enjoy the solitude of this serene lake district without the hustle and bustle of the summer and winter seasons. This is getaway time. Fall brings The Fall Studio Tour, Hike Haliburton Festival, vibrant colours and camp fires with clear star lit skies. This is the best time in the highlands. Spring awakens the highlands with new life. Spring fishing is great and couples getaways are very popular.

Fall and spring are the times to come and sample the amazing talents of Chef Krenar. In the spring he designs his new menu and invites everyone to his taste testing dinners. In the Fall he utilizes all the bounty of the fall harvest to prepare an outstanding gourmet Thanksgiving buffet, open to lodge guests and the public. Over the years this has become an annual celebration. Please refer to our Packages and Specials page for details on our Gourmet Delights Getaway.
