| The call of the wild is like a call from an elderly grandparent: though you cant quite make out whats being said, you feel better about yourself when you answer. Pick up nature\'s phone with today\'s Groupon: for $199, you get a threenight getaway package for two at Hastings Resort in Gilmour (up to a $579.97 total value). The package includes: Threenight stay in a standard room for two (a $449.97 value) $50 worth of dinner fare and drinks at the HR Steakhouse Unlimited bicycle, paddle boat, and kayak rentals throughout the stay (up to an $80 value) A room upgrade is available for an additional $20 per night (not included in todays deal). Although children ages 4 and under can stay for free, an additional fee of $10 per night applies to children ages 512 and a fee of $20 per night applies to guests ages 13 and older (fees not included in todays deal). Nestled alongside the Beaver Creek River amid 10 acres of verdant forest, the Hastings Resort affords guests a tranquil respite from quotidian pressures with a host of outdoor activities and a logcabinstyle main lodge. Inside the main lodge, visitors unwind in their standard room equipped with a kingsize bed, and a private balcony overlooking the river enables serene morningtime ruminations and latenight rehearsals of Romeo and Juliet with local wildlife. Each room houses a 32inch LCD TV outfitted with satellite TV. Upon wakening from rocklike slumbers, guests can fuel up for forthcoming adventures with complimentary tea, coffee, muffins, and danishes. After a day of rewiring lungs to operate on fresh air, pleasantly exhausted bodies can retire to H.R. Steakhouse for a hungererasing dinner. An entree of Ontario lamb chops ($25.95) arrives at tables accompanied by a grilled turnip side and drizzled with blueberry coulis; a 12ounce marinated ribeye steak ($29.95) partners up with its ageold collaborator, the baked potato, to create a gustatory dream team. Appetites for alfresco activities can be sated with unlimited rentals of nonmotorized equipment that enables guests to scoop up a pair of bicycles, a kayak, or a paddleboat to explore surrounding pathways. Alternatively, guests can sidle up to the savvy excursionservices desk for help planning treks to nearby natural havens such as Algonquin and Bon Echo provincial parks. As an added bonus, todays Groupon also grants guests 25% off ATV and snowmobile tours. |
