Camping with our pet and paddling
This lodge is even better than it looks in the pictures. We had the best quiet time in the perfect woods. I was worried about the kitchen and shower but it was more convenient than I expected. I would give it a 10 out of 10 and will be back during the fall leaves season. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for some quiet time. We also loved paddling on Eagle Lake, which is a 10 minute far.

Weak to no cellphone reception. Solar power charges smartphones on most days with the 2 USB plugs in the red inverter, and even computers and power banks with the power bars on sunny days. There is a wooden kitchen platform with a patio, BBQ grill and sink. Kitchenware in the cabin. A private shower. A few jugs of spring water are provided. You can get a portable shower at Canadian Tire or Walmart and fill it with water at a car wash. The route from the south to the cabin is longer but more drivable then that from highway 522. A pickup truck or 4X4 can easily navigate either routes, but a car might get in from the south. Overall, awesome experience.

Tent site #1
Rustic Tent site
Stayed at the tent site with my daughter, sister and niece. At time of booking with Michelle I was advised was "newly" opened so not to expect all that much. There was a fire pit a few chairs but no table/picnic table. This was not a problem as we made due with what we had brought and what was provided. Carlton was great and provided lots of information on the area as far as places to put in my canoe and swim. He told us if we had any questions just to pop down the road and ask. The site itself was newly groomed and in the process of having the extended area cleared I assume for other sites. We had use of the trailer as there was no outhouse which they were waiting to have delivered. Michelle and Carlton were kind enough to provide water onsite which was great. We were able to use the trailer to store some of our gear. With all the fallen trees from the work they are doing there was ample camp wood/blow down. The tent site was spacious and flat and we loved sitting and laughing around the campfire star gazing through the beautiful treelined site. I have done allot of backcountry in the South River area but had never taken the time to really stop and explore the town. We did so on the Saturday of out stay, and am so thankful we did! Site was also dog friendly which was enjoyed immensely by our 4legged friend. Thank you Michelle and Carlton for a great weekend excited to see what you have planned next!

The off-grid cabin was lovely to stay in! My dad and I spent the weekend up there for our birthdays and we were very happy with the place :)
The cabin and the grounds were clean and Michelle and Carlton were very nice hosts.
The quietness was what stood out to us alongside the nice lush forest.
Saw some cool owls as well, would definitely come back. Thanks for a nice stay!

I loved the cabin Camping on this site , great cabin nestled in the deep woods . It's a little bit tricky getting there as the Internet is choppy closer to the site but with some assistance from the hosts we made it safe and sound and enjoyed our long weekend !!! There's an abundance of wildlife throughout and you can also spot some tracks ! Definitely return again ! 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
