To reach us, you will drive into Chapleau and park
at our boat docks. From there, the cabins are reached by a 15 minute
boat ride. If during your stay you need to buy a few supplies, you can
easily take your fishing boat to Chapleau and tie up at our boat docks.
There are a supermarket, bait, beer and liquor store all close to our boat
docks.
You will be away from man-made sounds and bright lights, yet the
little town of Chapleau will be only a short boat ride away. We have eight
cabins on our large wooded property. They are spaced well apart from
each other among the trees, for quiet and privacy.
The cabins overlook
the lake. When you look out at
your cabin window, your eyes will rest on a flawless picture of lake
and sky; a world fresh from the hand of the Creator.
Vegetation is typical of the boreal forest. Spruce, balsam fir, white
birch, trembling aspen and jackpine dominate. In some areas, red and white
pine thrive.
There are no significant industries for more than a hundred
miles in any direction, assuring clean air and clean water in the lakes.
Evenings are as still as in a former age before man invented machines and
the starry night sky is incredibly clear. When you look north late at night,
you may often see the northern light.
As you can see, the natural beauty and tranquility of the spot is probably the foremost consideration that brings our customers
back year after year.
In June the moose like to walk out into the water to feed on the new vegetation that grows on the lake bottom.
September is mating season and the moose move from place to place rather carelessly. This bull swam acros the lake in September, together with three others. Hugh met him on a foggy morning in front of Cabin No. 8.
If you like paddling a canoe, we have a canoe for you. Evenings are
a magical time. Beavers busy themselves about their lodges then, the water
is like a mirror and all is still but for the haunting call of the loon..
At such times you can explore the region where lake meets primeval forest
and investigate the world of the beaver, blue heron and muskrat. Or you
might make a day of it and paddle up the long winding creek to Sinclair
Lake where there is outstanding northern pike fishing.
