“Highly recommend this little pocket of paradise! Extremely reasonably priced for the area, stunning views, stylish details in an industrial farm chic home. The hosts are lovely and very accommodating. Fresh eggs on tap. Loved it!”

The wood cabin in its current form has the capacity to sleep 8 people comfortably but over the years has hosted anyone willing to bring a two-four. There are many more bonfires to be had and beers to be drunk as we continue to build upon the off-the-grid goodness this cabin has to offer.
"We love coming back to this place again and again - and again. There's really no place like it. The lake to yourself with endless forest to explore with no one in sight. We just can't get enough. for more helpful information on specifics check out my review from a few years back.
Thanks again Morley for all your help and hospitality :)"

CROMWELL FARM REVIEWS
Visit Ontario, Canada
Ontario has many sides to it — from the energetic urban life of Toronto and Ottawa, to the wilds of the Great Lakes and Northern Ontario. Here, you’ll discover an abundance of restaurants reflective of the region’s diverse cultures, captivating galleries and museums, and countless hiking trails that offer a respite from everyday life.
Ontario comes from the Iroquois word, kanadario, which translates into sparkling water — fitting for a province with over 250,000 glistening lakes.
