Fall Cabin Specials

On August 23, 2018August 23, 2018 By Red RockIn art program, Internet Specials, Into The Brush, Rental Cabins, Short Stay Cabin RentalsLeave a comment

It’s a great time to visit us at Northwind Lodge and take advantage of our Fall Cabin Specials!

Fall weather is very calming particularly when walking around and taking in the brisk and fresh air. The scenery is beautiful with deepening blue of the sky along with tones of red and orange, the yellowing leaves and all new changes that come about in this wonderful time of year!

Come enjoy fall fishing on beautiful Jasper Lake. Take painting classes at the Fernberg Gallery a short walk from your cabin. Learn how to put “fall”
on canvas with a brush. Making lots of color meet each other in a brilliant display is just plain fun. Painting it like yoga without all the stretching. We still breathe, however. You can almost feel your blood pressure drop as you slow down and enjoy the feel of canvas meeting your brush. Everybody can do it.
