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. Our property is located an hour west of Ottawa, Ontario and an hour north of Kingston, and about an hour and a half from the New York State border. Being 20 minutes from the historic town of Perth and 10 minutes outside of the village of Sharbot Lake, all of your shopping and sight-seeing needs are close by. We would love to share our little slice of Canadian heaven with you, and look forward to having you!

Completely private, with everything you’ll need; you really only need to bring food and bedding. The cabin and outdoor toilet were clean and well maintained. Judi and Ryan were super friendly, and you can clearly see the amount of effort and attention to detail put into the little red cabin.

Camping with toddlers !
Our family absolutely loved camping out here! The property is gorgeous!!! There's lots to do & its tucked away and very private for a beautiful escape. The kids loved the beach & it was just a short walk away. The waterfall is a little more of a hike but my two toddlers were able to do it with us helping. The only thing I would highlight to other campers was that we had no service at all, that could've just been our provider but it ended up being a great & needed disconnect for us. The hosts were so kind and we are so thankful for their hospitality. It's a gem of a location! We only had a few minor suggestions: a clothes line would be a good addition for campers to hang their wet beach towels or rain gear on & we would've preferred if the cabin could lock as we had little campers with us. Also there are various mushrooms on the property so just be cautious for littles and dogs that they do not consume any. Overall it was a memorable & wonderful experience for our family. I would definitely recommend this location to others. Thank you so much for hosting us!

relaxing retreat
i had a wonderful time exploring the land here with my dog. there’s a small, sandy beach with swimmable water (bring footwear, some plants and shells—it *is* a lake after all). i enjoyed sitting on the beach at night to look at the stars and listen to the frogs, loons, and fish jumping out of the water. there’s a short trail (some spots folks may find challenging) that leads to a waterfall. i found it a wonderful spot to relax. i also enjoyed climbing to the top of the bluff to get a fantastic view of the lake. the cabin i stayed in was in a magical alcove in the forest. it was cozy and well provisioned (pots, pans, etc.). the firewood i purchased (can’t bring your own to protect the health of the forest) was already waiting for me by the fire pit and the water in the solar shower was warm when i arrived. it is off grid though and does not have electrical so bring batteries if that’s a thing you need. the host and her family met me at the barn when i pulled in and took me on a tour of the property. it’s evident they have put a lot of love into their homestead and really enjoy sharing it with others. they showed me a second cabin that is currently under construction. after ensuring i had everything i needed and knew how to get in touch, the host and her family left me to enjoy the solitude. it was a very pleasant and relaxing experience.

Glamping at its best!
We needed an escape from the city life and people. Couldn’t have picked a better place to visit! The hosts were beyond amazing. Cabin was immaculate, property was very well kept and they provided all the amenities and more than you would expect while glamping! We will definitely be back!
