Page Two · About the Place Built 1930s · Family-owned since 1990

Since 1962.
On the same sand.

Fourteen cabins built in the 1930s, on sand that’s been in the family since 1990. Personally run by Derron and Laura since 2023 — but don’t worry, Grandpa Bruce is always around. Pointed straight at the longest freshwater beach in the world. We’re not a resort. We’re a holiday.

Chapter One · The Origin Story

The cabins are
older than you.

Our cabins were built in the 1930s — simple wood-framed cottages knocked together on a stretch of Wasaga sand back when a week at the beach meant a wool swimsuit and a thermos of lemonade. They’ve been sat on, slept in, slammed-screen-doored through, and sandcastled around for the better part of a century.

Our family’s been on this sand since 1962, and Derron & Laura have been running the place themselves since 1990. Three generations later we’re still here, still answering the phone, still writing your dates down on a piece of paper.

“We bring simplicity back to the beach — no phones, no internet, no stress. But yes, we have power and water.”

— Derron & Laura, owners

A note from Derron

The cabins are old.
That’s the point.

Listen, before you call — look at the photos. Really look. These cabins were knocked together in the 1930s. The floors are uneven. The ceilings are wavy. The kitchens are cobbled together from whatever worked.

Bum a bit wet from the beach and you’re sitting on the couch… oops. Trekked a little sand in from outside… oh well, you’ll sweep it later. That’s the deal.

If that sounds awful, we’re not your place. If that sounds like the holiday you remember from when you were eight years old — come on down. Build your own sandcastles and memories.

Chapter Four · A Handshake

We’ll see you
on the sand.

I’ll be honest — I love that you’re reading this. Most people who book here found us through a friend or a parent or a memory. If that’s you, welcome. If you’re new — come down once and you’ll get the rhythm of the place fast.

We don’t take online bookings, on purpose. I’d rather hear about your family on the phone, figure out which cabin fits, and write your dates down myself. It’s slower. It also means nobody’s ever surprised when they get here.

If something’s on your mind — pets, parking, what to bring, what the cabins are actually like — we wrote it all down on the FAQ. If it’s not there, just call.

Chapter Five · Likely Questions

Asked & answered.

Three of the questions Derron gets every week. The full FAQ has the rest — deposits, parking, dogs, what to bring, the works.

Booking & rates

How do I book?

Look at the photos so you know what you're getting. Decide who's coming and when. Then call Derron — he'll hold your dates the old-fashioned way. A $300 deposit confirms.

What to expect

Is there Wi-Fi or a TV?

Nope. On purpose. The whole point is to leave home at home and be on the beach. We have board games at the office.

Family, friends & pets

Can I bring my dog?

Yes — with proof of flea treatment and rabies vaccination at arrival. Max 75 lbs. They go where you go (no leaving them in the cabin).
