Our unique location offers a very private and secluded experience. No road noise, no people noise, just the sounds of the forest and the odd crow of a rooster to break the silence.

This property was settled by the Irish in the mid 1800’s. Originally inhabited by Algonquin peoples the land was cleared for farming and they erected several building including a large German style hand hewn timber frame barn which still stands and is used today. The farm house was built in the 1910 and the original log cabins have been reframed into artistic buildings. It is wild to look around and imagine what life was like before now in a time when the land had no boundry lines and was traversed by indigenous peoples of this area. We have a great respect for those who have walked before us and a deep sense of gratitude for being here today. Learn more about this land: Perched high on a hilltop with scenic views of the surrounding area resting on the Canadian Shield! We are offering a gentle landing for those wishing to relax and enjoy nature.  We have several options for camping sites and experiences for campers to choose from. There are 6 campsites available for tent and RV/trailer campers. We can accommodate vehicles up to 30ft in length (no hookups available at this time). Pets are welcome! Go for a hike up the mountain, meander along the streams, walk to the lake 15min down a beautiful country road. Enjoy what we have going on at the art barn where we host artists in residence studios, music jams, workshops and events. Enjoy an evening around your private campfire or perhaps join some folks gathered at the communal fire pit under the stars. Book a sauna session for an evening, and possibly a massage or healing session. There’s always something to do on this farm😋

We really enjoyed camping on Pennys land! The short drive to the cabin was beautiful! The trees really gave us privacy, which we loved :) The cabin was so cozy and clean, and the provided bbq, burner and propane was very convenient! Great experience!!!

We had such a lovely time here! It was so quiet, and surrounded by beautiful ravens. There was even one that kept saying hello! The cabin was clean and not buggy. The outhouse was well maintained. They even provide a tent area outside the cabin so we could eat without getting attacked by bees. Such a lovely property, very close by some beaches, small towns and really cool antique shops! The hosts were so warm and friendly. I think our only suggestion would be to bring a foam mattress for the loft bed, as it's a very thin matt to sleep on. We're not in our 20s anymore, and definitely needed a thicker bed! Would definitely recommend this rental. It's quiet, private, relaxing and exactly what we needed. 5/5!

From the time we arrived at the cabin, I readily told myself that I should have booked a longer stay. We loved the cabin and the facilities at the site. The site was also near provincial and municipal parks for all the activities you want to engage in. The site is also not so far from a big town where you can get anything you need. Even the instructions and tips given upon booking were so thorough that I didn't need to clarify anything. The owner was also very responsive and accommodating. We definitely recommend this place.

Clean! Very clean and well maintained area. Host replies quickly. Lots of fire wood available. Area was nice and quiet. Would recommend to anyone looking to get away for a quiet get away. Town is close enough you can pop in and grab a morning coffee and there is a few great swimming locations close by (by car) as well. We had a great stay and would love to visit again.

Weekend Trip to Sturgeon Mountain Lodge

We went tent camping at Ray and Melissa’s and it was fantastic!! We got to pet chickens, alpacas, and we learned so much on our alpaca walk. In the evening, we settled in with our campfire and watched hundreds of fireflies dancing on a field of wildflowers. Such a perfect camping spot, I can’t recommend enough!

The site has a few cabins in different sizes. Mine was cabin 2. Small but enough for 2-4 people to sleep. Soa bed on ground floor and loft bed upstairs. Propane heating is extra. Firewood extra for campfire. I'd ask for firewood in advance. A propane BBQ hooked up. Outhouse. And a shower but no water. The site is 10 minutes to Bancroft so you can resupply there.
