This is a rustic spot between an old barn and farm sheds, with a light use County Road on one side, and the view of a marshy shallow bay and low mountains in background on the other side of the greater Ottawa River. The site is relatively calm and reclusive; Not Near our residence; It is located 400m from our house, so the spot is somewhat secluded; (but you will be located +/- 50m from a ´relatively' quiet secondary country road.) Due to the remoteness from our home, the site is very tranquil, and you will be left to your privacy; We might come by briefly once or twice a day to verify if everything's OK related to the site . Very rustic and rural, but can be picturesque, depending an your taste. Has direct access to the end of a marshy bay, and a short nature walk / path. The mentioned County Rd 24 is a designated Cycle Route in both directions. Area is also great for canoeing, kayak, photography, birdwatching, meditating, etc. NOT recommended with children.

    Arrived in time for a lovely sunset over the river and fields. Our GPS could not find the address but Shaun’s directions were helpful. He was most accomodating with just the right mix of attentiveness and leaving us to our privacy!

    Quiet, rural location overlooking a very picturesque pond/wetland/river. Pay attention to the hosts directions- your gps app will probably send you astray.
