A vacation in the Blue Mountain region close to Ontario in Canada will expose your family to a whole new world of fun. No matter what time of the year you go, there will at any stage be lots to see and do. For the family man it simply doesn’t get any better than a stay at one of the various Blue Mountain chalets.

In the first place staying in a chalet will cost much less for a family of four or more than a hotel stay would cost. For four people you will have to pay for at least two rooms in a hotel, pushing up the costs quite dramatically. A week for four in a decent quality hotel could seriously damage your family budget and not leave enough money to really enjoy yourselves and do everything you wanted to do.

If you stay in a hotel, you will also not have any facilities to prepare your own meals. That means you will be forced to eat all meals in either the hotel’s restaurant or at a restaurant in town. This will further escalate costs quite sharply and once again mean that you will have less money to spend on all the activities in the area.  Read more...
