Weekend Trip to Northpoint Harbour Hideaway

Lisa and Harry went out of there way to make us feel at home setting us up with a view of Lake Superior. We were supplied with fire wood, dry fire wood to boot. I must have been looking skinny as Harry gave us some of his free range eggs for breakfast, freshest I have had in a year🐣🥚. Dinner at Serendipity Gardens, great food short walk. I think things are only going to get better here in the future. Great couple to visit with.
