Notes
Your hosts reside year round on 150 ft of waterfront property on Palmerston Lake-a spring fed lake in The Canadian Shield which offers Bass and Lake Trout fishing, multiple water sports opportunities and ATV trails are close by
A short hike up to our “Lookout” offers a breathtaking panoramic view of both Palmerston Lake and Canonto Lake. The use of a rowboat, paddleboat and canoe including a few sizes of life jackets and boating safety kit are available. There is a covered boat lift for dry storage of your own boat and the public boat launch is a short distance away.
Blankets and pillows are provided, however you must bring your own sheets, pillow cases and towels. We provide you with a few, often forgotten or overlooked items when packing, such as coffee filters, dish soap, T-towels and dish cloths, salt and pepper, clothespins, candles, matches and garbage bags. Please refer to our “Packing List”. Our Township requires recycling at all times. There are other privately owned cottages in the area but no resorts making boat traffic on the lake and traffic noise minimal. We appreciate family guests, couples and nature lovers who just want to experience a relaxing, country getaway as this is what outdoor life in The Land O’ Lakes is all about.
