Please note that there is a locked cleaner's closet in the hut that is off-limits. The yard is a shared space, which means you may run into us or other guests during your stay. You may also encounter some of the typical lakefront wildlife, including various waterfowls, birds, red squirrels, deer, and muskrats. Keep your eyes peeled for the stray gray cat that wanders by from time to time - it's a real treat to see her!
While we love our wild neighbors, we kindly ask that you refrain from feeding them or attempting to pet or interact with them. We want to ensure that they stay happy and healthy in their natural habitat. However, feel free to take as many photos as you like to capture these beautiful creatures in their element.

About the host
Hosted by Dona & David McQueen
We are Dona & David McQueen. We love to travel and have always preferred to stay in Short Term Rented homes as a way to get more in touch with the local culture. We now, finally, have decided to share our home with fellow travelers.
Why they chose this property
This is a unique accommodation, directly on the lake.
What makes this property unique
We have a "bring your own firewood" fire pit for your use. We have two kayaks and a shared paddle boat that guests may use. Each adult in the party will need to sign a waiver before using the watercrafts.
The yard is a shared space which you'll share with us or other guests. We also share the space with typical lakefront wild-life. You will see various waterfowls, birds, red squirrels, muskrats and bunnies. Plus one stray gray cat who wanders by from time to time to check up on us. Please, please, be respectful of these critters by not trying to feed them, or attempt to pet or interact with them. You are allowed unlimited photos!
