On icy cold days like today, I love to reflect on photos from my summer travels. This selection takes me back to an overnight stay on Gander River last June.
Whenever my husband Paul has to travel for work in our beautiful province, I often accompany him. Particularly enjoyable are the trips that take us somewhere we haven’t visited before. And when we can combine business and pleasure, the trips are all the more fun.
This time Paul’s work took him to a business associate’s cabin on the Gander River, to design an extension and renovation for the client. The long boat in the photo above took us there, the only way to access the site.
In spite of the high winds, and getting splashed by spray over the side of the boat, the temps were warm and the views were lovely.
Here below is a shot of the little guest cabin we stayed in on the property. So cozy!
The Gander River is well-known for its salmon pools and outfitting business. To learn more, check out this site.

Time to eat, sit back and relax.
Our gracious hosts provided a delicious grilled steak supper and refreshments at the main cabin.

Hi Jennifer – how nice to see pictures of your June trip to the Gander River. Did you have to navigate across the water by yourselves or was your host at the helm? I love boats and would enjoy a trip like that. I also love that little cabin – it’s so cute.

Our client’s employee was at the helm, Barbara. The client was already at the cabin so he brought us to him. I’m sure you would have enjoyed it! ☺️

Real nice locale. I wouldn’t want to live there, though, if the only access is by boat.

Oh me neither. But for the cabin owners, it means lots more privacy!
