We moved here 6 yrs ago and love it! Been working on upgrading and fixing just about everything. We live off-grid, but have solar power and a generator.
We have a big garden and orchard. 2 of our tent sites are close to the house and outhouse, 150ft or so.
I process firewood and do handyman work, while the mrs. works from home on the computer, so there is always someone here if we're needed.
If need be you can charge you cell phones from our house. We will try to accommodate guests needs whatever they may be.

Located just outside of Bruce Mines and 40 minutes east of Sault Ste. Marie, this waterfront property is only 2 minutes off Hwy 17 and leads down to the crystal blue and aquamarine hues of Lake Huron. South-facing and with almost 2 acres of land and 300 feet of shoreline, a wood-fired sauna sits at the water’s edge. Although it is private, homes can be seen in the distance.
The beach is mostly sand, although some rocks do wash up, but just a few feet out, the bottom is all pristine white sand. Along the side is a creek, which is home to dragonflies, ducks, sandhill cranes, and sometimes deer.
Internet, electrical, and septic hookups are available. An outdoor dining table and chairs are provided, and kayaks and fishing gear are available upon request. The area is known for excellent backroad cycling and hiking.

Another half a kilometer away for you to go. Kayaking, swimming or just sightseeing. There is also a spot for you to climb the mountain. The marina here in town is absolutely beautiful and they have a lookout for you to climb. I believe it's 132 steps. This is the highlight of our little town.

We loved our 2 night stay at Patricia’s beautiful waterfront lot!! The views are amazing and it is very quiet and private. The sauna was a real plus for us and use of the kayaks too!!! I do think that for the money, the site could be a little more finished and it could have been a bit cleaner. As well, there was a glitch with the internet and though we enjoyed being off grid a bit, it was something we expected to be there. Also, just a caution, unless it is calm water, it is difficult to see the rocks in the sand beach as you venture out to swim. But overall, the views and tranquility made up for any small issues and we would stay there again if the occasion arose.

This was the perfect place for a quiet get away. Host was available if needed. We were able to maneuver the 40 foot Class A into the spot. We would recommend turning around at the lane! Your campsite was just as described. Beautiful beach, quiet and close enough to Bobbers for a yummy breakfast. Thanks for having us. Will keep this on our list of return trips!

An amazing weekend with an awesome view and host! The sauna was ready to go when we got there as well as chopped wood next to the fire pit. Although you can see houses off in the distance, we felt very secluded and alone on a little beach. 100000% would stay again. Also…you must visit Bruce Mine! Such a cute little town!

A beautiful private beach location on Lake Huron to watch sunrises and sunsets.
Lovely sauna, outdoor fire pit, and dining tables to relax at.
Enjoyed having electric hookup and water available.
Pat and Mike were lovely hosts and shared local information on hikes, quaint coffee shops and things to explore in the area. When we travel in the area again we definitely would stay again.
