Settled in 1885 this property was a cattle farm for much of its history. Now owned by a mother and son we are restoring a century old barn, growing our own food, and milling our own lumber.Come and Explore our Homestead. 200+ acres on a beautiful Lake in the Canadian Shield. Our property boasts a wide supply of geographic features, including a sandy beach area, a 35 foot waterfall, a 137 foot ridge with amazing vistas over the lake, various trails, wetlands, forests, and fields for you to roam. Enjoy pitch black skies for amazing star-scapes. Wildlife is plentiful.
You will be staying in an off-grid cabin that is nestled within the forest, at the base of a granite rock formation. You will enjoy plenty of privacy at this half acre site. The cabin sleeps a maximum of four guests, but there is plenty of space on the cabin site for an additional tent. The site features a separate bathroom bunkie with a composting toilet and sink, a screened in gazebo, and a fire pit patio. Cooking is done on a barbeque (we supply the propane) or on the firepit grill, and dishwashing can be done on site. Outdoor solar showers are available.
Drinking water is not available on site. You must bring your own potable water, or we will supply it for an extra cost if ordered in advance.
There is no refrigeration on site. We recommend you bring a cooler to keep your food refrigerated.
Firewood is available on site for purchase.
Kayaks are available for a small rental fee.
