This cottage resort was a happening place back in its day. This 10 cottage resort was built in the early 1940’s. Each cottage had their own kitchen, bathroom and 2 bedrooms with beautiful views of the lake. People that stayed here enjoyed great fishing, campfires, barbecuing and family time relaxing on the water. They once had a bait and tackle shop, camp store, gas, docks, boat rentals and a nice little beach. Looking at the drone footage the camp store, beach and docks are no longer here. Now the resort sits abandoned and forgotten. They were trying to sell this property by “power of sale” and I now heard it sold so I hope one day maybe they can reopen a new resort here but most likely the new owner will demolish the cottages and build a new cottage or house on the property.
I have not been to Georgian Bay in decades but I do remember the water was clear. I live North of Muskoka and from what I've seen from Orillia to North Bay the water is the colour in this video, high iron content.
Marce I absolutely agree. My grandparents bought a cottage early 1960's in Georgian Bay area, I love it and spent most of my childhood summers there in the 90's... but there are SO many things falling apart now, I have lately given up hope of "restoration".. only thing to do is reclaim what is salvageable such as wibdows, doors, the lamps and cedar panelling from the 1960's, and rebuild new and re-incorporate what was left
Thank you for this footage. I bought this place in March of 2020 and currently redeveloping it with five cottages and our forever home. It is a great spot with a lot of history and we can’t wait to get it back up and running. Really enjoyed your video.
I totally don't get why this place would be abandoned. Isn't this the kind of place thats perfect to get away from it all?? Its really sad to see it go to waste. The cabins were once really cozy and the views are spectacular.
What I don't get is why person caretaker maybe just left room full of stuff if u were going to walk away afterward???? Unless someone had plans to renovate but found no interest to do so if no one would come..
Oh the memories that were made here for so many families! “The Good ol Days” when the summer cottage was just THAT! A place to relax, fish, boat, and enjoy one another’s company♥️ Now it’s “I’m bored” and “there’s nothing to do here!” ☹️ if children only realized the true beauty and freedom of gods country ALONE!!🙏🏼
The wood (ceilings, floors, walls) in those cabins is GORGEOUS. If I were to buy a property like that, I would insist on saving as much wood as possible, if I felt the buildings couldn't be saved and had to be torn down. Then I would re-use the wood to build new cabins (or to help restore the ones that could be saved.) Thanks for the tour.
So peaceful to look out over the lake and listen to the water lapping at the shore. Such a beautiful place. Why hasn’t anyone tried to rebuild some of the cottages? So sad.
I like the way you pause the camera in each room, giving us a chance to take it all in before we move on...yet you do not take too much time and make us impatient. Good videography!
Time passes...sad a little but it all good. It's a natural thing. Like you say...probably indeed was a happening spot in it's day. Kids grew and learned about life...people relaxed...lives were lived. Bittersweet stuff. Nice to ruminate about life and see these old places.
I was thinking the same thing. Summer vacations "up north". Fun times, especially when you're a kid. All the inconveniences that drive your parents nuts are the most fun for you.
Don't forget the crickets and peeper frogs, and the deep call of toads, loons if this is Muskoka, and the fish jumping and splashing back in the water. Oh and campfires and roasted marshmallows! This place is so special! Brent does an awesome job of presenting these forgotten places!
That’s what I love and hate about abandoned places, imagining the people who used to be there. I get the whole titanic thing when I think about it. The part at the end when rose is dying and the boat goes from a wreck in the water back to its original glory. It is so bitter sweet!
Must be many happy memories for families from trips to this place. Much of the 1950's style is still apparent (the pink and white asphalt bathroom tile; armchairs and remaining furniture) but looks like in the 70's some "updating" was done here and there (the oranges and green linoleum flooring). Overall, the place doesn't seem to have ever had a total updating--I wonder why not? Eventually, without modernizing, I can imagine people might have considered it shabby and stopped coming, but if this is true, what a shame. Someone should redevelop the lovely spot!
What simple and wonderful summer nights must have been spent at these cabins . They look well constructed, it could be brought back! We need those simple times back in our lives . Thanks for sharing.
Number 9 on the point was my favourite. The rippling sound of the water and birdsong; what more could you ask for. Nice find and beautiful drone scenes.
Loved the inlet. Build a log cabin, with a porch to sit on in the evening. Have a little boat to go fishing on or just let it drift across the water while relaxing. My favorite living on the water. So peaceful. Thanks for sharing
@@connied8841 well,it was early spring, so the foliage was just getting started and if there is one chipmunk, there will be dozens more. Among other things!
What such beauty you have taken in all these cottages! Thank you i love the water sound it is relaxing . Brent i wanna thank you for sharing this beauty . Your friend Barbara from FL.USA
~ Sad to see these places, in such disrepair~ :( So thankful for people like you * * Brent * * :) To share it to the rest of us~ *Too cool for school * !!

Well Brent, I just had to watch this one again! One of/if not my all time favorites you've ever taken us to❤ i could live there in a heartbeat! I chise your #9 favorite as mine also!! Surrounded by water, the fire pit/grill....simple easy going life. And tge sound of lake water lapping over the rocks...totally amazingly tranquility at it's very best! What a life!! Drone footage topped it off❤ You're the best Brent,no doubt about it!❤Thanks much!
I enjoyed this👍🏼 Very similar to a place my family went to in the 60’s. Built in beds/bunk beds were common in these types of cottages. Please do more cottage explores. No Basements 😬 😱 😂
Those cottages were great, people enjoyed their time away. We had rentals like that where I live until folks started wanting more luxurious accommodations. These simple cabins allowed for more fun time and less upkeep. The cottages people build here now are larger than our homes! How times change. Great location, been looking forward to watching this one! Ty 👍😁
I can't believe no one has bought this place up and built or refurbished a couple of the better cabins. Staying there would be like dying and gone to heaven. Thanks Brent what a find
I love these cabins! Not mega huge nor are they tiny houses - a happy in between. Plus the vintage furnishings! I know what heaven will look like now 😍😍
Absolutely Beautiful location Wow what an explore! More questions than answers for sure! Love the sound of the water lapping on the shore Great location!! Thank you for the awesome filming and drone work Brent it is appreciated!! ⛵️ 🚤 ⚓️
Your intro music has a haunting quality, which is so appropriate for your videos. i find your videos fascinating but also makes me somewhat sad, seeing these once useful and often majestic buildings succumbing to the elements
You have such a fun job, and I am so jealous! I always look at the houses and imagine how I would renovate/redecorate. I love your channel-- keep these great explorations coming :)
I love the sound of water lapping on rocks!, that sets me up for the day in UK Suburbia!. I bet those places were spidery with only planks between a person and their beds...a bit like a night or two in the shed!. Not sure I'd fancy that although always happy to fish in my earlier years. What on earth was that growling when exiting cottage 3???? Glad someone bought this and is enjoying it once more, what a heavenly place! x
My father emigrated from Hungary to Ontario in the fifties. He’s been dead close to forty years but a friend of his told me he had come to build cottages. I spent my very early years in midland and although it was cottage country he didn’t work on any cottages that I saw. Maybe it was something like this.
Thank you. Number 9 was my favorite. This place reminds me of the cottages at Marmora when I was growing up. It was a place we called Bonter`s cottages. My best memories.
They look like Army barrack houses they were sold to the public after world war 2 even into the 70's someones forgotten Oasis I'm sure is was nice and relaxing in it's day probably owned by some rich couple.Looks like it's been abandoned for atleast 20 to 25 years. THANKYOU for your time and energy documenting it was quite a trip for my imagination.😁🚣🚤🏠🌅🏊
It would be amazing if someone who stayed in the cabins when it was a resort would comment on this. If they were kids at the time they would be 65 or 70 now so I don't think there would be many adults who stayed there still alive.
@@fly-n-m9445 she didn’t say Toronto has to be discovered, she said it has so much to be discovered. And it does! The whole area would be an urbex treasure trove!
I know exactly where this is as I have a cottage nearby, I also was interested when I saw the listing on MLS but I know from renovating my cottage that it is too close to the water and you will not be allowed to make a larger cottage. You can work within the original footprint though. So you could just rebuild the cabins.
Abandoned Urbex Canada Thanks for the great video! It is an absolutely beautiful area with I’m sure a great history! I hope the new owners can bring it back to its original glory so many more can enjoy.
WOW. BRENT.!! a big jump back n time .!!! thanks 4 taking us alll along to see what they did 4 camps back n the day .!!! b safe tho remember the soft spots and sneaky drops.
Hi again from Virginia. What a nice relaxing video. A great way to spend some of my Mother's day afternoon! It is a super cool place. To bad no one has fixed it up. I certainly wouldn't mind spending a night or two in Cabin 9! Right on the water. 😁 The drone footage really adds to it, too. Just beautiful! Thanks again for keeping us entertained.
I can’t be the only out there who would LOVE to go to a place like this ~ fixed up modestly, like a Habitat for Humanity project (my passion!) where miracles are made by regular citizens. Think Writer’s Retreat. Or post-Covid healing spot. No electronics or noise other than voices and musical instruments. Canoes, hammocks ~ and books to be read. Essentially, camping with a roof. My heart explodes watching your videos (with fear that you are going to crash through the floor with no one there to help you!) and with sadness for it having being abandoned, for the owner’s original dream and for its potential to be restored to what it once was. Not 2020 modern lights and glitz. (My small 112 year old ‘cottage’ home in an old apple orchard in BC feels very Pioneer-esque and is a haven from modernity.) I’d buy one of those old fridges if you could help me get to it. I adopt antique, unloved items and love them back to life. Happy to donate to the owner of the property or to a charity of your choice... If I knew where this place was, I’d be there infusing it with TLC so it could remind people of a kinder, gentler time. The world needs that right now. HUGE thanks for this video.
Your welcome Andrea! You have the right idea! No wifi aloud 😂 this amazing place is in Ontario, Canada I I heard it just sold as the bank owned it for awhile. Hope they reopen this place one day 😁👍🌲
Wow, that must have been something back when. Too bad that it can't be restored/rehabbed to its former glory. Absolutely beautiful location. Be safe 👍😉😷✌
Sound of water is so peaceful..good camera work.. surprized to see the 1 in better shape... must have been a good place for families. Thanks for explore...
What a great place for someone to set up a bunch of those tiny homes and either build a year round community or rent them out by the week, If i ever win the lottery....:)
You're so darn cute! The drone footage was awesome, and the scenery absolutely gorgeous!! Especially when you paused and videoed the water washing up to the shore against the rocks!! Totally soothing!! I could just sit there listening to the water! The Cottages were so awesome to see!! Stunning views of the water!! Noticing the wildlife,! You're the best!! ♥️
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada some need to be demo'd but some have good bones...yup a nice big cottage for year round at the end, and fix up the other 6 or 7 to rent out seasonally...about a couple mil. will do it ....whatdaya say partner ....lol
I enjoy your explores so much. This was a great find. I’ve decided I like you best because you don’t fill the silence with ridiculous chatter. Your camera work is top rate!!
It always makes me mad to see abandoned buildings that look like someone came along and just had to flip everything over bust the toilets and windows. Why? Do people just hate things so much they have to destroy it all. Sure the owners at the time would do that before leaving. Those plastic lawn chairs are not that old people come there and hang out outside for the day I imagine in last 10 yrs
They were built in a time we today cant fathom. An average person with skills and ambition could go to a place like that and build their dream. Now only a rich person could afford the taxes and government regulations it would require to build that.
I loved this explore! Some of it is still not in bad shape. Too bad somebody with money couldn't fix it up & reopen it. What a beautiful location right on the water & peaceful too.
great place but I have a feeling I know why someone hasn't done anything with it. All those cottages need septic or holding tanks and they all sit on rock! Probably just a hose from the kitchen sinks to drain outside, and maybe a hole dug with a drain pipe in it for the toilets. Min. of Enviro is very picky about that kind of stuff now especially when you're right on the water.
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada Possibly more! I know for one home now, it's a min. $30,000. With all these places sitting on pretty much rock and surrounded by water, good chance it would be a big fat NO from the powers that be when it comes to permits. You know where a weeping bed would be running into! Raw sewage in lakes is very much frowned upon! I don't imagine they ever had proper septics. Only way you find out would be crawl under one. You should have stumbled across the lid for either a septic or holding tank somewhere outside. Likely concrete with an iron handle perfectly suited for lifting, or just really stubbing toes!
Pretty great explore! Reminds me of the summer resorts of my childhood in the 50 s and 60s in Northern California and the PNW. It was always the same. First day sitting around the cabin, board and a bunch of whining about going to the store to look around and buy something, second day having a blast swimming and playing in the dirt with sticks. Third day don’t even see the kids , cant find them except miraculously at meals or to pick up a life jacket and canoe.
Beautiful area, you can tell the houses were well built back then with superior wood. Once a great place to vacation I’m sure ! Thank you for another excellent video ! The drone footage is amazing !
Wow that was awesome! I could stay there all day too! I also loved the cottage on the point! Also it had a stone grill or BBQ pit in the back! Thanks!!
Before today’s campers and campgrounds with rustic type cabins for rent this is how people vacationed. Beautiful views. Surprised it hasn’t been renovated with views like that
I have a friend with cabins like this in northern ontario and when hes gone the same thing could happen his kids know the work and dont want any part. So sad I would love no 9 on the point
Now this is cool. I'd totally go there. Who needs a pool when you can swim in that lovely lake. A Beautiful, peaceful place with an equally beautiful view of the lake. Thanks Brent. I liked the red one too. Thode fridges would be worth a couple of thousand don't you think? See ya next time.
them light fixtures and wires show the ages as 1945, or so with Nub and tube wires. and that was a cheap build that worked well. I think they was build for they lasted better then many houses....
What a beautiful place, even in its current condition. I bet it was quite the place for family vacations back in the day. Hopefully, someday it will be restored and enjoyed again.
So who is in control of that island? I love to know the background history of this stuff. Maybe I could move there and live rent free LOL paradise waiting
Wow i love this place! I love exploring with you, but I can't help to ask: Do you let anybody know that you're out here alone? filming? Hate the thought that something will happen to you! Please be safe!
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada who owns the property is there no way of finding out so something could be done about the little place do u no how and why it eas abandoned got 2 b a reason beautiful nice tour by the way thanks x x
When my parents got married in 1948, they spent their honeymoon up in Canada, probably in a cottage like this. In 1979, I drove from Buffalo to the Toronto National Exhibition. The city was a beautiful patchwork of modern and period. The open country up in Canada was so unspoiled. Many of the roads didn’t even have street lights. Those cottages must e been awesome on clear nights. I wish I could’ve seen that cottage resort back in its day. Thank you for the video!
What a beautiful place! Wonderful weather you had, too! Reminds me of a place we used to go to as kids from the 60s to 80s on Mississippi Lake, On., only then, we had outhouses! Nowadays, it's a proper resort with cabins, trailers, mobile homes, gym, restaurant...worse than the city! I hope nothing like that happens to this property. God, I sound like an old git! haha Thanks, Brent! Love your new store, BTW!
I’m so excited to find your channel, I’ve been exploring abandoned cabins in the Yukon recently. So some that go back to the gold rush days, the history is fascinating! This was a gem of a find, all those cottages. I can just imagine how booming and beautiful it was back in the day. Look forward to exploring more of your channel!
This cottage resort was a happening place back in its day. This 10 cottage resort was built in the early 1940’s.

Now the resort sits abandoned and forgotten.
They were trying to sell this property by “power of sale” and I now heard it sold so I hope one day maybe they can reopen a new resort here but most likely the new owner will demolish the cottages and build a new cottage or house on the property.
Maybe I missed it on your video, but the location of this property, is it on Georgian Bay?
I have not been to Georgian Bay in decades but I do remember the water was clear. I live North of Muskoka and from what I've seen from Orillia to North Bay the water is the colour in this video, high iron content.
@@clownnut1925 Huntsville has water like this, i.e. the Burnt River.
No it’s way east of that. Halliburton area
Well gee isn't Huntsville between Orillia and North Bay?
Those cottages are what a cottage should be, not the mansion that people build today. A very nice find.
Yes we think alike 😁👍
I agree, less stuff to have to maintain while you’re there too.
Agreed Marce
I agree. But likely to get bought up and yes, that mansion of a cottage will be built to be used 4 weeks a year.
Marce I absolutely agree. My grandparents bought a cottage early 1960's in Georgian Bay area, I love it and spent most of my childhood summers there in the 90's... but there are SO many things falling apart now, I have lately given up hope of "restoration".. only thing to do is reclaim what is salvageable such as wibdows, doors, the lamps and cedar panelling from the 1960's, and rebuild new and re-incorporate what was left

@@ruthiekest3218, it's amazing how people lose interest and maintenance becomes preventative. Without a vision the people perish. Proverbs 29:18 😶
Oh the memories that were made here for so many families! “The Good ol Days” when the summer cottage was just THAT! A place to relax, fish, boat, and enjoy one another’s company♥️ Now it’s “I’m bored” and “there’s nothing to do here!” ☹️ if children only realized the true beauty and freedom of gods country ALONE!!🙏🏼
Hi Jodi. I'm Liz. I was born in 1960. And you are right! THOSE REALLY WERE the GOOD OLD DAYS!!
Exactly while the whole family sits on there phones and talk's to other people 🙄

Those cabins are so worth saving. I love that whole area. I hope someone buys the property and makes it a resort again. It is so beautiful.
It would cost more to fix than bulldozing them and starting over.
It would be neat if they could save them.
@@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803 It's not worth it to try to save them, you'd have to pour all new foundations under each one
@Cat Magic a foundation is what enables any structure to be built.
@Cat Magic then how do you expect the structure to stand up?

They look like Army barrack houses they were sold to the public after world war 2 even into the 70's someones forgotten Oasis I'm sure is was nice and relaxing in it's day probably owned by some rich couple.Looks like it's been abandoned for atleast 20 to 25 years. THANKYOU for your time and energy documenting it was quite a trip for my imagination.😁🚣🚤🏠🌅🏊
It's sad to see them sitting going to waste. Very 💔
It would be amazing if someone who stayed in the cabins when it was a resort would comment on this. If they were kids at the time they would be 65 or 70 now so I don't think there would be many adults who stayed there still alive.
Oh, come on, 70 isn't old any more. There are a lot of us around and some of us are very busy every day.
Thats what iv been looking for a comment from someone that used to stay there
Canada is just so beautiful! and Toronto has so much to be discovered. Thanks for sharing
Your welcome priscillia 😁
Toronto has been discovered. Long time ago,
@@fly-n-m9445 she didn’t say Toronto has to be discovered, she said it has so much to be discovered. And it does! The whole area would be an urbex treasure trove!
Lovely tour of what was once a summer place for families and so quaint.
Agreed!
I know exactly where this is as I have a cottage nearby, I also was interested when I saw the listing on MLS but I know from renovating my cottage that it is too close to the water and you will not be allowed to make a larger cottage. You can work within the original footprint though. So you could just rebuild the cabins.
Yes your right, the bank owned it and I think It just sold for approx. $550k (power of sale)
Abandoned Urbex Canada Thanks for the great video! It is an absolutely beautiful area with I’m sure a great history! I hope the new owners can bring it back to its original glory so many more can enjoy.
Your welcome Patrick! I hope so too. Such a great area your lucky 😁👍
Just curious which part of Canada this is? I don’t see any mention. Ontario?

When you opened the fridge, I thought...nooooo..fooled us ...we were inside! Another good video! Take care ❤️ 🇨🇦
😂 this one was clean
If I find a fridge in an abandoned place... I always open it up.
WOW. BRENT.!! a big jump back n time .!!! thanks 4 taking us alll along to see what they did 4 camps back n the day .!!! b safe tho remember the soft spots and sneaky drops.
Hi again from Virginia. What a nice relaxing video. A great way to spend some of my Mother's day afternoon! It is a super cool place. To bad no one has fixed it up. I certainly wouldn't mind spending a night or two in Cabin 9! Right on the water. 😁 The drone footage really adds to it, too. Just beautiful! Thanks again for keeping us entertained.
Oh thank you Deborah! Glad you enjoyed it. Happy Mother’s Day 💐
I can’t be the only out there who would LOVE to go to a place like this ~ fixed up modestly, like a Habitat for Humanity project (my passion!) where miracles are made by regular citizens. Think Writer’s Retreat. Or post-Covid healing spot. No electronics or noise other than voices and musical instruments. Canoes, hammocks ~ and books to be read. Essentially, camping with a roof. My heart explodes watching your videos (with fear that you are going to crash through the floor with no one there to help you!) and with sadness for it having being abandoned, for the owner’s original dream and for its potential to be restored to what it once was. Not 2020 modern lights and glitz. (My small 112 year old ‘cottage’ home in an old apple orchard in BC feels very Pioneer-esque and is a haven from modernity.) I’d buy one of those old fridges if you could help me get to it. I adopt antique, unloved items and love them back to life. Happy to donate to the owner of the property or to a charity of your choice... If I knew where this place was, I’d be there infusing it with TLC so it could remind people of a kinder, gentler time. The world needs that right now. HUGE thanks for this video.
Your welcome Andrea! You have the right idea! No wifi aloud 😂 this amazing place is in Ontario, Canada I I heard it just sold as the bank owned it for awhile. Hope they reopen this place one day 😁👍🌲
A lovely spot, I would love to stay there., shame it been left to full into ruin.
Same here, it would be awesome to stay there!
Wow, that must have been something back when. Too bad that it can't be restored/rehabbed to its former glory. Absolutely beautiful location. Be safe 👍😉😷✌
Thank you frank! Glad you enjoyed it
Sound of water is so peaceful..good camera work.. surprized to see the 1 in better shape... must have been a good place for families. Thanks for explore...
What a great place for someone to set up a bunch of those tiny homes and either build a year round community or rent them out by the week, If i ever win the lottery....:)
Jeff McGowan I hear ya about winning the lottery
Ur lucky there wasn't a dead skunk in the fridge u opened.
Jeff, that sounds awesome!
@@waynebentzen8554 I'd be more concerned about all the asbestos in those floor tiles!!
You're so darn cute! The drone footage was awesome, and the scenery absolutely gorgeous!! Especially when you paused and videoed the water washing up to the shore against the rocks!! Totally soothing!! I could just sit there listening to the water! The Cottages were so awesome to see!! Stunning views of the water!! Noticing the wildlife,! You're the best!! ♥️
Oh thank you Peggie! 😊 your very kind. I loved the nature sounds as well. Glad you liked this place. I’m trying to do more places like this. 😁🌲
Now thats a place I would buy and fix up, a retirement dream!! Thanks for sharing !
I love it too 😁👍
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada some need to be demo'd but some have good bones...yup a nice big cottage for year round at the end, and fix up the other 6 or 7 to rent out seasonally...about a couple mil. will do it ....whatdaya say partner ....lol
What a beautiful place - you can just imagine how busy it was and probably a lot of fun ! Love your footages - keep them coming !!
Thanks Anita!
Would love to make that into a tiny home village!!
Wow, that's absolutely a gorgeous place. I was born in the wrong country lol.
Thanks for taking us there!
Your welcome 😁
I enjoy your explores so much. This was a great find. I’ve decided I like you best because you don’t fill the silence with ridiculous chatter. Your camera work is top rate!!
Enjoyed the tour. Enjoyed your million dollar smile too. You did a great job. Thank you.
Oh thank you 😁
It always makes me mad to see abandoned buildings that look like someone came along and just had to flip everything over bust the toilets and windows. Why? Do people just hate things so much they have to destroy it all. Sure the owners at the time would do that before leaving. Those plastic lawn chairs are not that old people come there and hang out outside for the day I imagine in last 10 yrs
Beautiful location! Can't understand why anyone would just leave it like that.
Me neither
They were built in a time we today cant fathom. An average person with skills and ambition could go to a place like that and build their dream. Now only a rich person could afford the taxes and government regulations it would require to build that.
Another great find. Can't believe family or council or anybodywould let this go no matter how remote this is. This is awesome
I totally agree Jason
I loved this explore! Some of it is still not in bad shape. Too bad somebody with money couldn't fix it up & reopen it. What a beautiful location right on the water & peaceful too.
Thanks Paul I really liked this explore. Glad you liked it
great place but I have a feeling I know why someone hasn't done anything with it. All those cottages need septic or holding tanks and they all sit on rock! Probably just a hose from the kitchen sinks to drain outside, and maybe a hole dug with a drain pipe in it for the toilets. Min. of Enviro is very picky about that kind of stuff now especially when you're right on the water.
Yes your right. I’m not sure if they ever had proper septic tanks installed. To pul new ones in for all those cottages would be around $100,000
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada Possibly more! I know for one home now, it's a min. $30,000. With all these places sitting on pretty much rock and surrounded by water, good chance it would be a big fat NO from the powers that be when it comes to permits. You know where a weeping bed would be running into! Raw sewage in lakes is very much frowned upon! I don't imagine they ever had proper septics. Only way you find out would be crawl under one. You should have stumbled across the lid for either a septic or holding tank somewhere outside. Likely concrete with an iron handle perfectly suited for lifting, or just really stubbing toes!
Pretty great explore! Reminds me of the summer resorts of my childhood in the 50 s and 60s in Northern California and the PNW. It was always the same. First day sitting around the cabin, board and a bunch of whining about going to the store to look around and buy something, second day having a blast swimming and playing in the dirt with sticks. Third day don’t even see the kids , cant find them except miraculously at meals or to pick up a life jacket and canoe.
Kids just love the outdoors and nature until they get older and video games and cell phones come into the mix 😂
Thanx for taking us along.
Your welcome Eric 👍
What a shame, but some things in life don't last forever. I can picture families having fun and swimming, fishing....lots of memories!!!!!
Would love to see period photos of this place in its heyday, say--1949? 1955 o so? I bet it was active and popular!
I posted a photo in the video of the place in the 1940’s you must have missed it
Yes, that would be cool
Beautiful area, you can tell the houses were well built back then with superior wood. Once a great place to vacation I’m sure ! Thank you for another excellent video ! The drone footage is amazing !
Thank you very much 😁
Wow that was awesome! I could stay there all day too! I also loved the cottage on the point! Also it had a stone grill or BBQ pit in the back! Thanks!!
Your welcome 😁
Your videography, music, and minimal narration is PERFECT. I'll watch your videos anytime. Thank you for sharing them with us. 😊
Oh your great! Thank you😁👍
Adams lake had the same set up we went up every year for about 10 years till the place sold pieces at a time.
Before today’s campers and campgrounds with rustic type cabins for rent this is how people vacationed. Beautiful views. Surprised it hasn’t been renovated with views like that
I have a friend with cabins like this in northern ontario and when hes gone the same thing could happen his kids know the work and dont want any part. So sad I would love no 9 on the point
Now this is cool. I'd totally go there. Who needs a pool when you can swim in that lovely lake. A Beautiful, peaceful place with an equally beautiful view of the lake. Thanks Brent. I liked the red one too. Thode fridges would be worth a couple of thousand don't you think? See ya next time.
Oh how I would have loved this beautiful vacation spot!
It’s sold now and they are rebuilding 😁👍🏻
@@AbandonedUrbexCanadaThank you. I hope you follow-up on what is done with this!
8:22
Help!
I was murdered during my vacation and my body was stuffed in an old fridge!
😂😂
them light fixtures and wires show the ages as 1945, or so with Nub and tube wires. and that was a cheap build that worked well. I think they was build for they lasted better then many houses....
Very awesome place. I can imagine it back in the day.
What a beautiful place, even in its current condition. I bet it was quite the place for family vacations back in the day. Hopefully, someday it will be restored and enjoyed again.
So who is in control of that island? I love to know the background history of this stuff. Maybe I could move there and live rent free LOL paradise waiting
The little islands I’m sure it’s crown land (town owns them)
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada so can they be bought or sold off
Dr. M M Audi the little islands I don’t think they can be bought
You can't buy land in Canada you can only lease it from the Queen.
@@rickw6521 lol
Wow i love this place! I love exploring with you, but I can't help to ask: Do you let anybody know that you're out here alone? filming? Hate the thought that something will happen to you! Please be safe!
Yes sometimes I have a person off camera or I do let someone know
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada who owns the property is there no way of finding out so something could be done about the little place do u no how and why it eas abandoned got 2 b a reason beautiful nice tour by the way thanks x x
Thank bank owned it and I heard they just sold it
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada thanks very much for the reply and for showing such interesting places x x
🙂
Wouldn't that make a great project. Life of privacy and self sufficiency. Love it.
When my parents got married in 1948, they spent their honeymoon up in Canada, probably in a cottage like this.
In 1979, I drove from Buffalo to the Toronto National Exhibition. The city was a beautiful patchwork of modern and period. The open country up in Canada was so unspoiled. Many of the roads didn’t even have street lights. Those cottages must e been awesome on clear nights. I wish I could’ve seen that cottage resort back in its day.
Thank you for the video!
I posted a picture in the video of the place in the 1940’s 😁👍
Just imagine the area restored and used for under privleged families for summer vacation.
There were toilets so must have been underground plumbing.
looked like the top of a septic tank system between 2 cottages @11.52
Funny how eastern Canadians say “Cottage”, western Canadians say “Cabin”!
Ya I call places with no kitchens or bathrooms cabins but if they have kitchens and bathroom I call them cottages 😁👍
Also wether there by a lake or by the middle of the woods
Cabin in the woods cottage by the lake
So true ha!
In southern Ontario we call them cottages but when you get near Sudbury it's called camp.
What a beautiful place! Wonderful weather you had, too! Reminds me of a place we used to go to as kids from the 60s to 80s on Mississippi Lake, On., only then, we had outhouses! Nowadays, it's a proper resort with cabins, trailers, mobile homes, gym, restaurant...worse than the city! I hope nothing like that happens to this property. God, I sound like an old git! haha Thanks, Brent! Love your new store, BTW!
Thanks Cindy! Yes the resorts nowadays are very fancy. Glad you like this place 😁
I’m so excited to find your channel, I’ve been exploring abandoned cabins in the Yukon recently. So some that go back to the gold rush days, the history is fascinating! This was a gem of a find, all those cottages. I can just imagine how booming and beautiful it was back in the day. Look forward to exploring more of your channel!
Thank you! I’m glad you found me😁👍
I really want to plug those refrigerators into a generator and see how many still work 🤷🏼♂️
