The Cabins

All identical, each cabin is serviced with electricity for light and baseboard heat. Each cabin has a sitting area, as well as a non-serviced kitchen area with a full-sized fridge with freezer, as well as countertop, cupboards and shelves. Cabins have two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with a single bed bunked over a double bed. In addition, a pull-out single cot is available. While the maximum occupancy of each cabin is set at six persons, recommended occupancy is a comfortable 3-4 people/cabin.

The Facility

At the centre of the ELEEC facility is the Pavilion, a common space housing a fully-equipped self-use kitchen, dining/meeting space, and washrooms with showers. Registered guests are also welcome to cook on the propane BBQ outside the building.

Recreation

From exploring the property’s 8 km of pedestrian trails; to fishing on the lake; to socializing around the campfire at the communal firepit (firewood $8/bag); to canoeing, there are many opportunities for guests during their stay.
