The outdoor space is a large 1/3 acre private fenced backyard. It contains a deck overlooking the Trent River, BBQ, and firepit. Firewood provided (5 logs/night), but you must let us know if starting a fire as fires must be reported to the fire department.

The dock is a great spot for watching sunsets and fishing!

From May to October, 2 single kayaks and youth/child kayak are provided, along with all rowing equipment, life jackets and bailing kits. Note that you must sign a waiver to use the boating and cycling equipment. The nearby wilderness area and back channel are perfect to explore for beginners (seasonal).
