those beans were definately good!  I went back for a second plate of them, and pretty much scraped clean one of the trays!

There's a fine line between turning firewood into beautiful things and beautiful things into firewood.

While some things by themselves can be overlooked, there does seem to be a pattern of reviews for that place.  Even if you took some with a grain of salt, there is too much to ignore.  No understanding of customer service and how to handle issues.  Thank goodness for internet reviews.

I noticed Dan going back for more of them beans, but I did not say anything because us Southerners is polite  :).

Well said Brad, funny thing is that with all the information at our finger tips now a days why don't people take a few mins before they book a place and do an internet check?
Before the internet did we not spend a lot more time talking to our neighbours and friends about recommending places to stay?

Nothing to complain about here. I had a motel on wheels in the back seat of the RAV.  ;D

I'm glad you made it for the Pig Roast this year, but did you travel all the way to and back by your RAV?  :o

We need to do them beans up right in a hole with fire. Bean hole yellow eye or soldier beans.  ;) They tasted fine as they were, but there is a right way to do beans. ;D

It was either that or walk.  ;D It was 2 days to the Sault and about 4 hours to Jeff's.

There was a family of folks hauling a boat across Ontario from Massachusetts. ;)

Beans, Beans, 5 a quart,
the more you eat the more you toot,
the more you toot the better you feel,
So, lets have beans for every meal.

I check the net for reviews most of the time before I use a new business.  I also leave reviews for both good and bad service.

Wow! The Saga of the Lakeside Motel!
I sure am glad I slept in the back of the KIA. That was the best night's sleep I had all summer. It was so cool, quiet and cozy!

I wonder if the owners are undergoing some sort of unusual stress. The really need to read those comments and compare them with the earlier ones and figure out what they are doing differently. The earlier comments were so positive and the later ones are terribly negative.

It may be the end of a long road for them. As the economy gets worse businesses start cutting and nitpicking everything.  :-\  :-\  :-\

I know our revenues have taken hit after hit and I am cutting and scrimping for every dollar I can.

You may see the Lakeside up for sale at some point as I may sell my business soon if things don't start improving.

Money problems do some strange things to folks.
Why not just 1 pain free day?

I hope things turn around for you.

We need a big hole and a big ol' earthen crock or cast iron one, piece of that piggy back bacon and an onion, pinch of ginger, mustard and molasses or brown sugar. I'll bring the soldier beans. :D

I guess if ya complain about the cooking, by rights the chef hands over the apron. ;) :D

Here DanG, just for laughing. ;D

 Them beans where good , I dont see why one would want to break something that aint boke  ;D 

  A second pot of beans now would do no harm .   ;)  :)

I got no problem with extra beans, but I may have an issue with digging a hole in the yard depending on where he needs to dig it.  I figure out in the woods right next to where he camped would be a good spot, especially if the beans turn out not to be so good, we can just fill the hole back in. :)

Oh, they'd be good alright.  I've eaten stuff that was cooked in a hole before, even a pig.  You sure have to be careful of the dirt, but a fire in a pit makes a mighty good oven.  Lots of luck finding a good bean pot, though. A cast-iron pot can run into some major coin for a cooking implement.

Well, I might have to take a trip down to Patten, Maine and get brushed up on a few things about "bean hole beans". We used to have them out at the Demerchant picnic on the Monquart Stream, not far from here.  Mooseherder or Pappy up at Wallagrass, Maine might have some knowledge to share. ;D 

Jeff your beans was fine, I had a couple servings. But, I know beans in a hole are pretty gooooood to. ;D

As far as getting a pot, it has to have a good lid and no plastic obviously. Might be able to get a porcelain or earthenware crock somewhere in my travels. We had special crock pots, called bean pots here, but I doubt you could ever buy one now. Be like trying to find a butter churn crock. Most of those split because people would leave the wooden lid on to take on moisture in the basement and expand it and bust the crock. ::)

I'm sure Jeff would have loved to cook the beans in a hole, but he was just a little busy, as was his shovel. ;D
