(2) Wi-Fi is 'country' Wi-Fi, which works well with light use only, 1-2 device connects max. This means you have to disconnect and connect with each other like it was 1995! :)

"Far from the ordinary, this tranquil spot offers lakeside charm and an unusual living space. You certainly won't feel mainstream in this home, which is shaped like a giant octagon. Ontario's octagon home has lake views and a dreamy glass lookout." - Narcity 2019
It looks small from above, but it is a 2,000 sq ft. tower of adventure! But, we dare say the most comfortable adventure you've ever been on. It was built to give you all the creature comforts while you get lost in the vastness of the surrounding hillside and Big Bay.
Floating above Big Bay yet tethered to the ground on large concrete formation this property will pick you up and let you sink into nature, a good book, a relaxing steam room rest, a hearty cooked meal, and relax into yourself and each other.
Enjoy the simple serenity design as you enter a magical place sure to be unforgotten, but only if you disconnect and enjoy. One feels a sense of complete separation in the Octagon Tower.
A vehicle is needed to get around.
There are many lookouts with parking along Big Bay's shoreline, scenic Grey Road 1 in Big Bay.
