Learn more about this land: Rustic bunkie located on 2 acres, is nestled among the trees beside a small, crystal clear lake. With 700 ft of untouched shoreline, privacy is second to none. From this lake, you can access 3 other lakes by provided canoe/kayak without portage. The site is 35 min. from Algonquin Park and 11 km from MKC, the world-famous white water paddling centre. 10x10 main floor with sleeping loft. Solar power provides lighting & a propane furnace for cool nights. Solar lights outside provide ambient lighting-may be turned off if preferred. The call of the loons & the barred owl will be your lullaby as you drift off to sleep after a day of hiking, paddling, or swimming.  There is no running water, you will have to bring your own drinking water. You will need to bring everything you require for cooking, eating and washing dishes. There is no sink, stove, or BBQ on site. As the site is off-grid, there are no appliances. There is a split log bench beside the self-contained fire pit.  Please bring your own firewood, matches/lighter,  and/or firestarter materials. Small fires only please, as this is a well-treed location. Fires must be extinguished prior to going to bed — there is a bucket by the firepit. If you are wondering if something is there, I suggest you reach out to check with me before arrival. There is a new private outhouse on site. The outhouse is past the bunkie along the path. Solar lights work with the flick of a switch — one switch by the door, one by the bed. You have access to 2 kayaks and 1 canoe, 2 adult lifejackets. These are located on the waterfront between the bunkie and the house @260 Matcheski Road. Please return these as you found them after each use. They are shared with the guests at the house. It is a natural shoreline at the bunkie, with a sandy bottom — pretty good swimming, actually! Absolutely no harsh chemicals/detergents in the water! Please leave the site tidy and as you found it. Take your garbage and recycling. This is a small lakeside community —  no loud music, please. Respect the solitude!  Please respect the natural setting — leave it as you found it, do not cut live growth.

You'll also find an array of handmade products, creative pottery, mouth-watering fudge, and many other Canadian-made items.

See you at the farm — we look forward to meeting you! Educational farm tours are offered daily if you wish to interact with the alpacas. Cuddle with the babies, hand-feed the mamas, walk the males, and learn about their natural behavior! Please let us know if your group would be interested in a tour. Paid tours are available at discounted rates depending on the group size and tour length. We also offer an interactive self-guided tour, allowing you to explore at your own pace alongside the pastures while viewing the alpacas in their natural environment. There is plenty of graveled parking space for larger RVs to turn around and park. Parking is adjacent to the highway, though traffic noise is generally minimal during the evenings and overnight. • Please note: Keep your furry friends near your RVs, as alpacas are easily spooked.

This was our second time enjoying Monique’s beautiful property. Cool nights and sunny mornings made for some amazing views of mist swirling on the lake while sipping morning coffee. The crystal clear lakes were still warm enough for swimming and small enough to explore by kayak in an afternoon. Lots of little thoughtful touches everywhere we looked.

We enjoyed a wonderful 3-night stay! The host was very friendly and welcoming, which made everything smooth and enjoyable. Our kids spent most of their time hanging out by the dock and in the water, and even caught some fish, a real highlight for them. The camp spot is lovely, with a beautiful lake and peaceful surroundings. The king-size foam bed was incredibly comfortable for a great night's sleep. Just a heads up: our first night was quite cold, so be sure to check the weather and come prepared with warm clothes if it calls for it. The best part was the generous extras provided: a BBQ for cooking, both adult and kids’ kayaks, a canoe, life jackets, and having electricity available on sight is the chef's kiss. These thoughtful amenities made our stay extra convenient and fun. Highly recommend this spot for families looking to relax, enjoy nature, and have some great water activities right at their doorstep. We’d love to return!
