THE 12 SIDED BARN!!!!- Jeff says, I don't know if my inner farmer is coming out here but this was a cool visit for me and was only about 10 mins up the road towards Thessalon.
They appear to only be open on Saturdays from 9am - 2 pm and it includes a Farmers Market (produce, art, baking), Crafts and Coffee.
I know weird but fun fact, there's only 4 of these in Ontario. Thank you Jeff! and so close to our property.

Had a nice cozy stay here. The lake/property itself is nice and rustic and it's close to other pretty spots that are just the highway. And we saw bald eagles!

Samantha, Lorenzo and their adorable little one we're an absolute delight to host!
They were very kind and respectful.
We would welcome them back again as soon as they would have us!
How beautiful that they saw bald eagles!
This location is perfect if you have a boat to dock and fish in the lake. Everything you need is here for housekeeping and cooking meals, even towels. There is an over abundance of furniture for additional people in the cottage.

Thank you so much Anne, You actually do not need to have a boat! Plenty of fish, fishing right off our dock. Fishermen in the area say our location, ( at our dock) is prime area of the clear clean lake for fishing. We were there three weeks ago and caught many big fish right off our dock! I have posted pictures of the very large fish caught! We swim frequently right off our dock also.
There is also a beach in a neighboring town, Thessalon, 10 minute drive, with beautiful sand if you enjoy sunbathing and swimming. We also sunbathe on our dock and enjoy nature. There is also many trails if you enjoy hiking, as well as plenty of wood for a campfire, to enjoy nature, Our guests love to unplug here, rejuvenating and relaxing in the beautiful forest setting. We quite often do yoga meditation on our dock.
Property was well kept and has everything you need so just show up with food and clothes and your all set! The lake has plenty of bass and pike to do some fishing and a sweet beach 10 mins away in Thessalon! Would rent this again.
