This package is available during three different seasons, each season offering a different experience. In late June/early July, the Boreal Forest awakes, with abundant growth and new life everywhere. The days are long and lazy, and there is minimal darkness. This is an excellent time to experience the re-birth of the local flora and fauna, and to enjoy the extra daylight hours. Mid-July/early August offers a warm, temperate climate. The days are still long, and the gardens are alive with vibrant colours and scents. It is the perfect time to bath in warm sunlight, and revel in the wonders of Mother Nature in full bloom. Mid-August/late October is a time of transition. Shorter days unveil spectacular starlit nights, often augmented by brilliant Northern Lights. The colours of fall begin to appear in the forest, as it prepares for the winter ahead. It is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy crisp, clean air and late-night campfires under a stellar lightshow. Access to the lodge is by floatplane or canoe. We have guides that will paddle along side you into the lodge or you can just ride along in the canoe and let the guide do all the work. The canoe trip takes about 3-4 hours from the put-in location.

| Accommodations: The main lodge sits majestically on precambrian rock, providing a spectacular view of the lake below. It has been built from logs carefully harvested from the surrounding woods. It is a true eco-lodge, powered primarily by solar power. The top floor holds two comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom, complete with a composting toilet. A well-appointed kitchen, a cozy living room/library, and a spacious dining room surrounded by windows overlooking the garden and the lake are located on the main floor. A large deck on the front of the lodge has also been built to take advantage of the sunrise and a view of the lake. The property also features two cabins, situated on a slope above the gardens and the main lodge. Like the lodge, the accommodations were constructed with locally-harvested materials, and maintain the philosophy of minimal impact on the Boreal forest. "Willow" is our largest cabin. Its warm, comfortable bedrooms easily sleep up to seven adults. Complete with its own indoor washroom, "Willow" makes the perfect home away from home. "Alder", although smaller than "Willow", offers comfort and space for four guests. It also features an indoor washroom. The property also has its own handcrafted Sauna, located on the shore of the lake, just below the main lodge. It is complete with a inside change room and shower. Outside, a deck leads you to the cooling waters of the lake. |
| Meal Information: An on-site staff will prepare your meals daily. Fine meals are crafted using food grown in the garden as well as native produce taken from the boreal forest.

Cooking courses are available on request. |
