Cool Events:
( as per our incredible, most recent guest, Jeff, and family! Thank you, Jeff!)

Lumberjack day in Blind River seems to be every Civic Long weekend and appears to be a big festival,
same goes for Community Day in Thessalon.

Museum in Iron Bridge is a good little pit stop and a great way to get to know the area better. (Highly recommend this)

THE 12 SIDED BARN!!!!- Jeff says, I don't know if my inner farmer is coming out here but this was a cool visit for me and was only about 10 mins up the road towards Thessalon.

They appear to only be open on Saturdays from 9am - 2 pm and it includes a Farmers Market (produce, art, baking), Crafts and Coffee.

I know weird but fun fact, there's only 4 of these in Ontario. Thank you Jeff!
and so close to our property.


Beach's in the area:

Thessalon Beach - Could be the best beach around and only 18 mins from the cottage, "we were all dumbfounded when we got to this beach every time around 11 am thinking it would be packed as there is a trailer park just behind it but nope NOT A SOUL!"
Says Jeff!

Sand bars allow for a lot of shallow water.

Little Basslake Beach - Fishing area solely.

Fourth Sand Beach (Blind River) - this one is worth the 25 min drive.
Beautiful stretch of sand bars.

Nice private spot
Had a nice cozy stay here. The lake/property itself is nice and rustic and it's close to other pretty spots that are just the highway. And we saw bald eagles!

Great little get away
Property was well kept and has everything you need so just show up with food and clothes and your all set! The lake has plenty of bass and pike to do some fishing and a sweet beach 10 mins away in Thessalon! Would rent this again.
