Campers Cabins

Our cabins are "Campers Cabins", which means that bedding and towels are not supplied, you bring your own sleeping bags and towels.  For an extra $5.00/ bed/ stay, bedding or towels can be provided by request (please make this request when booking your reservations).

The Boisie Cabin is named for Jack and Bunty Boisie, who owned our land during the 40's & 50's.  It features a large wood cook stove in a fully outfitted kitchen, which includes pots, pans and dishes. The other end of the kitchen contains a table and sitting area.  Two bedrooms provide sleeping for 6 persons with a double bed and single top bunk in each room. The washroom is outfitted with a bathtub/shower.  The wrap-around porch features a big couch where you can relax and enjoy the view of the lake.
