Hello all!
Renata and I are on the road once again. We decided to get an early start on our trip to Winnipeg (Google map HERE) and ended up in Watson Lake last night. We stopped at A Nice Hotel, because we had been there before and the rooms were clean. Most of the hotels in Watson are 'cesspools of horrific things'. Actually, I think there may be a hotel here with that name exactly.
A Nice Hotel was full, so she called The Cesspool and another one. Both were booked fully. She then suggested a nice little bed and breakfast out by the lake. She. called, and they had some space available.
Lucky for us. A ten minute drive out of Watson toward the airport found us at Cozy Nest B&B, operated by Cindy and Gord Sundby. What an amazing experience!! The basement suite of their home is beautiful, from lovely oak panelling, to a full size living room complete with fireplace and big-screen TV, and a nice little kitchenette. Outside the suite is a covered patio and a view of the lake that would bring tears to the eyes of the coldest man.
A little path laced with wild strawberries, and roses leads to a sitting area where you can relax and have a chat with the lake.
Fresh rhubarb muffins somehow found their way into our suite this morning. What an excellent experience. Far removed from the Watson Lake that holds a reputation of being not-so-nice (I am referring to the hotels directly here).
I invite you, as do Cindy and Gord I'm sure, to give them a call and get out of Whitehorse for a while. It's a rare treat to find such wonderful people at the beginning of a road trip, and I'm sure happy we did.
