About the host

Hosted by Chris Wright

Host profile image

Co-owners

Chris and Craig are longtime friends and business partners who built Driftwood Lodge for family, friends, and guests.

Every year we host a high-school friends reunion here—now with kids and families in tow. One of our favourite traditions is lining the kids up on the dock for a photo. It’s fun watching them grow a little taller each summer.

When we’re at the lodge we keep it simple: big fires, fishing, tubing with the kids, volleyball, games nights, and long group meals around the table.

Craig is a realtor and home builder who loves fishing, golfing, making videos, and, most of all, time with his family.

Chris is an entrepreneur, investor, and M&A advisor. He’s travelled the world and enjoys skiing, biking, poker, and hosting.

Why they chose this property

BarkLake is a hidden gem. Our lake is 7km x 14km and has only a handful of cottages. Across the lake is crown land leading into Algonquin Park which prevents over population.

What makes this property unique

Our property has it's own boat launch, hot tub, sauna and volleyball court. Our kitchen is fully equipped and we have a large Napoleon BBQ. Our cottage comfortably hosts 16 people.
