About the host
Hosted by Rob Shields
We have enjoyed raising our family here - life as we know it is at the cottage. Now grown, we can offer it to other families to enjoy!
Why they chose this property
Top 5 water quality lake in Ontario. A headwater lake makes it the freshest water, very swimmable reaching 20-23 C in the summer. Completely freezes over in winter for snowmobile trails. X-Country and Downhill Skiing nearby
