Bay of Quinte bungalows. Want or need

[ChrisM23]

Sounds like a Great Idea, I know a few guys that would do overnights on Quinte, myself included!

[Chevy]

I think it's a great idea. I'd definitely give it a try. If you don't mind me asking, any idea of cost per man or hut ?

[crayfish]

I would be looking into it if it happens.

Is the ice stable/predictable enough to provide this kind of operation? Yes it was very cold last year and will probably be again this year, but what about investing money and then having milder winters? This would be a great option if it could work.

Thats very encouraging, thanks for your vote of confidence.
With hard water quickly approaching, I had better get busy putting this plan in motion.

I haven't gotten that far yet, I am still working on my business plan, determining all the costs related in building and maintaining the huts, including gas, propane, minnows etc etc..
I'm not trying to recoup all my investment on the backs of my customers the first year, but also won't be able to make it so cheap the I won't be able to keep afloat.
i have studied the prices charged by all the hut operator on Simcoe and Nippissing and my prices will be in line with what they charge. Definitely not more and quite possibly on the lower end of the scale.

Thanks for the vote of confidence and hopefully I'll see you on the ice.

With the fishery pretty well collapsed on Nipissing you are in a position to do well. I would suggest you offer day packages as well as overnight ones and you will have both markets covered. operate like this for a couple of seasons and then you can decide which makes more sense from a business point. Don't forget to price out insurance.

great idea i like the 2 people overnight cabins, instead of having to fill a 6 person all the time
keep us updated I would def do this trip.

Don't forget to consider access, overnight parking, and storage of your huts in the off season. The way the weather is going, we could be on ice before we know it. I'm keeping an eye on this.....I live close, but there are times when the weather sucks, and I'd rather just stay over night out there.

I have considered the access and parking in choosing my location. The huts would be coming home with me for the rest of the year.
i have been saying for years that I would like the option to stay over when the weather has been nasty and I didn't want to leave my hut, with the option to have some pops without having to pick a DD
