Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
We have 4.4 acres of land on a spring fed lake. (Even though it is spring fed the water is warm for swimming.) We are located between Trout Creek and Port Loring on Hwy 522. We bought the property in October 2021 so we are in very early stages of development on the land. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, swimming and fishing. Bring water shoes if you have them. The beach area has not been developed yet. You will have to make sure you have the proper licenses for fishing. Our property is off grid. We do not at this time have running water and the toilet is a clean outhouse - not stinky and disgusting. We have a shower tent which uses an "Iron Hammer" rechargeable portable camp shower. Water has to be brought up from the lake and heated over a fire if you want a warm shower. It's a little extra work, but still worth it. We have a couple of small docks and you can fish right from the dock. If you are a bird lover you will enjoy watching the blue heron and hearing the loons and frogs sing at night. With quiet observation you may get to see the osprey on it's nest on the island just in front of our property. We suggest you stock up on all of your groceries and supplies in Huntsville on your way up or in North Bay if you are coming from the north. Please note that cellular service is intermittent at this time. You can often get some service by walking to the end of the driveway, but you should let people know that you may be difficult to reach during your stay with us.

Mario is an exceptionally personable and attentive host who went out of his way to make sure that we had everything that we needed! The trailer was warm and comfortable, and the view of the lake is magnificent!

We had an incredible experience with Pat and Mario's camper, which comfortably accommodated all of us. Mario's exceptional hospitality made our trip even more enjoyable, as he was always ready to assist with anything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The view of the lake, especially during sunset, was just incredible. We had a great time and will definitely return!

Thank You for a great stay!
Pat and Mario were great. The property and surroundings were exactly what my son and I wanted for a 3 night stay. The trailer was perfect, clean and very functional. Amenities provided such as the canoe and kayaks were a wonderful addition to a great stay. Highly recommend. Jason and Seth

INCREDIBLE CAMPIMG EXPERIENCE
What a fabulous extra long weekend. Where do I start? I almost don't want to write a review, to keep this little hidden gem to myself :) but we must share all great things in life. First off Pat and Mario are the most incredible people I've had the pleasure of meeting. So very kind, genuine and caring people. Eveything is as pictured and noted. The trailer is rustic and very clean and fully stocked with kitchen items, books and board games. Extremely comfortable trailer to stay in and comfortable bed. The Owners have done awesome things with their little slice of heaven and are still working very hard to create their beautiful vision. I visited close by towns, attended local fall fairs, kayaked on Pine Lake, sat by open fires nightly and met more amazing people during my 4 night stay. The Lake is gorgeous, and has some incredible sunset views. Evening Kayaking is the best. The area is very well lit up for night time bathroom trips, and while you do have to use "The Poop House" it's one of the best outhouses I've used, and is very clean. Everything you'll need is there for your use, and if they don't have what your looking for, the Owners will go above and beyond to help their guest. I was very happy with this rental, and will most definitely be a returned guest. You'll also fall in love with their dog Fergus 🐾🖤 The only downfall was that didn't find this gem sooner, I would have spent most of my summer there. Thank you Pat and Mario for an amazing experience. Kimberly

The BEST 3 Year Anniversary Trip!
The three of us (myself, my husband and my dog) spent a wonderfully relaxing week at Pat and Mario's gorgeous spot on Pine Lake. It truly was a fantastic experience from the moment we got there - everything we needed was provided (full access to the kayaks and canoe, all firewood, help with anything AND everything!!) The trailer is super cozy and we slept comfortably each evening. We took full advantage of the beautiful water and INCREDIBLE sunsets. Mario even helped put my hammock up for me and we spent a couple lovely evenings with Pat and family around the campfire playing songs and jamming together, as Pat is an excellent singer/songwriter and we are musicians as well! It was much more than a regular camping experience and we really felt welcome there. Our pup had an amazing time exploring everywhere and meeting her new fuzzy friend Fergus, the head of campground paw patrol. We enjoyed plenty of activities around Port Loring (recommend heading there for excellent ice cream & burgers at the Port Shores) and also touring Burk's Falls and the Screaming Heads of Midlothian (DEFINITELY CHECK THIS OUT!!) In all, Pat and Mario really went above and beyond our expectations. They have lots of plans to continue to expand and improve and we will absolutely be booking for next year! Can't wait to be back. - Stephanie, Jeremiah & Nova Lu

Off the grid
Our party of 4 stayed at the “Taylor Coach” on Canada day long weekend which was a few steps away from the lake. The unit had a fridge that kept our food and drinks cold. Mario was a great host and checked in several times making sure we were good. We had access to plenty of wood for our fire pit, we had access to a generator to charge our devices if needed, the LCBO is a short 20 minute drive if you need to fill up your drinks. I recommend staying here to mentally unplug and recharge.
