About the host
Hosted by William Shields
The Shields Family originally came from Eagle River. Our parents bought the cottage in 1968 and used it as a weekend 'get-a-way' while they were still working (Dad was City Engineer of Eagle River and Mom was a school teacher for Eagle River (now Northland Pines) School District. After they both retired, they sold their house in Eagle River and moved up to Big Portage Lake. Actually, the original cottage was more of a large cabin, and it burned down in the early 70's. They rebuilt the cottage to what it is today, except for the large addition or 'sitting room' (we call this the 'Lois Room' after Mom) at the entrance.
My brother and I live/work with our families in other states (Colorado and Ohio), and at present are not able to use the property as much as we'd like. Therefore, we decided to share some of the northwoods experience on Big Portage Lake that we've had over the years.
The name 'Shields Pine-Rest' is not only appropriate, but is also historic. Our father was from Chicago, and his mom and dad (our grandparents) bought a resort on Little St. Germain Lake and operated it during the summers. They called it 'Shields Pine-Rest', as there were huge white and norway pines scattered among the cabins. I believe now it is called the Pine Valley Resort, located just off of Shields Road, on the south shore of Little St. Germain Lake.
