It is comfortably off, but within view of, the main boat channel providing easy access and no wake from passing boats. The island provides a safe, protected area for boat mooring that other “outer” islands cannot. It has two kilometers of walking trails which allows easy viewing of the beautiful vistas. Stone walls enhance many pathways along the waters edge. There are plenty of lovely beaches.

It has corridors or wings on either side with access to the bedrooms and bathrooms.

The dinning room is surrounded with windows on both sides and is finished with hardwood flooring, pine walls and ceiling and another massive fireplace with insert.

The master wing, also finished in pine, contains a master bedroom and two dressing rooms (or three bedrooms) which all overlook “open” Georgian Bay waters as well as two washrooms. One washroom contains a vanity and toilet while the other washroom contains a six-foot bathtub, an oversized shower and vanity. The corridors are lined in pine closets (original to the home), and the floors are covered with decorator carpeting.
