Built by hand

Logs from the lake, granite from the shore

The lodge is built from logs cut around Sydney Lake, each one scribed by hand to fit the one below it. A natural granite fireplace and granite walls hold up the centre, a spiral staircase climbs to the loft, and the gable windows look straight down the lake.

Like every cabin, it's near the middle of the Sydney and Kilburn system, so most spots are 30 minutes or less by boat.

It's built for groups who want more room: multi-generation families, a big group of friends, or a company trip that wants one place to gather at the end of the day.

Inside the lodge

Room for ten, and a view from every level

4 bedrooms, each with a queen and a twin
A loft up the spiral staircase
2 bathrooms
A big kitchen for cooking for the whole group
Granite stone fireplace in the great room
Pellet stove and air conditioning
Main-floor deck looking over the lake
Screened balcony on the second storey

Lodge guests get everything every cabin gets: the float plane from Kenora, daily housekeeping, boats with 25 hp Yamahas, all the gas and dock service every morning.

Hand-built log spiral staircase rising to the loft inside the lodge

Opening plan

A soft opening in 2027, the grand opening in 2028

I'd rather open the lodge to a few groups first and get every detail right than rush it. Here's the plan.

Spring 2027We finish the main work on the lodge before the season starts.
From June 2027A few weeks open to guests. Expect a great lodge with a few finishing touches still going on around you.
Summer 2027We keep improving it, and take new photos for the website.
2028Grand opening as our premium fly-in package, with the full lodge, new photos and prices posted here.
