About the host

Hosted by Timber Bay Lodge & Houseboats

Host profile image
It’s probably an understatement to say it’s a dream come true.

Like so many families who make the trip north year after year, our story started with our kids splashing around on a lake.

We soon realized we shared the same roots - growing up on lake resorts, returning to them summer after summer. When Timber Bay became available, it sparked big conversations and even bigger dreams.

Today, we’re so lucky to carry on enduring traditions while adding a few of our own. Whether Timber Bay has been part of your story for generations or you’re just discovering it for the first time… We can’t wait to welcome you, swap stories, and make new memories together.

It’s your love for this place that inspires and fuels everything we do!
