Amenities and Location

The Lodge

This 4800 square foot building has been designed to take advantage of the natural beauty of the site, which once was an unused parcel of land at Camp Brebeuf.  Its’ Barrier Free design enables all visitors to maneuver with ease, and enjoy all the comforts of home.  It boasts five beautifully decorated bedrooms and a Great Room for dining or gathering by the fireplace. From the front porch, sitting high on a hill, one can see the tree tops and valleys of neighbouring farms.  If you look closely through the trees you will spot the sparkle of the sun, dancing on the Eramosa River.

The Grounds and Amenities

A short walk through the woods takes you to the Eramosa River, where you can enjoy fishing and canoeing or find your own spot on the bank for some quiet time.  Choose from the many hiking trails which sprawl through the Sugar Maple, Beech, Pine, Cedar and Tamarack trees of the adjacent forest.  The truly adventurous may want to test their abilities at climbing the Rock Wall or being suspended above the forest floor on the High and Low Ropes Course as you navigate your way across.  

Some of the friendly wildlife you may encounter include; the watchful deer, porcupine, opossum and even coyotes howling in the distance.  Whether you are seeking adventure or a relaxing vacation, we offer a banquet of activities to suit the full spectrum of year round outdoor interests.
