Our Cabin


Our cabin is nothing special (by this, I mean, not 5 stars with pristine linen and chocolates on your pillow), but it has a fire pit, and a grassy hill that we discovered you could use a sled on, if mum or dad pulls...We have investigated a tree house in the woods up the hill, which turned out to be a hunting platform complete with some empty shell casings, and we think there are tappings for maple syrup on what must be maple trees (can't tell, although hubby says the leaves look like the Canadian flag). There is also a little shallow creek at the end of our drive that we investigated, and more exciting, a dam with ice on it (so you can throw rocks on the ice and they'll sit there!).It is near where Hammond Lake and Tioga Lake join, so we went for a drive and looked at the dam wall and stuff.
We have had two picnic dinners at the table near the fire so far, with roasting of marshmallows afterwards.
It is decorated in extreme 'bear' theme - we have not counted, but there are bears everywhere - statues, pictures, lamp stands, chopping boards, linen, crockery, curtains, etc etc. Personally, I find it a touch over-bearing (pun intended), but I assume the owner must like bears. When there are not bears, there is a 'woodsy' theme - unfinished pine, rustic furniture, and a whole bit of vine, brought inside and cable tied to a column and along the ceiling.  Not so sure about why.
