Bowerbird Beach Camp Cabin #2
Summary: A stay at Bowerbird Beach Camp is essentially a trip back in time so please enjoy the view, the water and the occasional drip of a leaky faucet. Our “no-frills” vibe is part of our charm. Step away from the hustle of your busy life and immerse yourself in the truly nostalgic experience of camp life. What you will find here is an immediate feeling that you are somewhere that matters; somewhere you'll visit in your memories and relive through shared telling of stories over the years to come.
The Space: This cabin is one of the oldest structures on the property and a cosy 380 sq ft. This cabin is not for the faint hearted but for those who want a true log cabin experience. The front room makes the most of the incredible view of the beach and the sunset. The cabin is so "original", you don't even have to open a door to get to your bedroom, just pull back the curtain :) There's a full newly renovated kitchen and bathroom in the cabin but the walls of the bedrooms do not go all the way to the pitched roof so be a bit selective about who you bring along to sleep in the room next to you ;)
If creature comfort is what you are after, please look through our other listings. If a unique, nature-filled experience will float your boat, then this is the place for you!
The kitchen has all the necessary amenities like a new retro style fridge, freezer, stove, french press, kettle, toaster and basic cookware. There's both a charcoal grill and a propane BBQ.
No dishwasher and certainly no valet parking service. You'll be close to your neighbours, whether they be the people in the next cabin over or the many critters, fish, birds and squirrels that have been here long before you have. We’ve left the inside of the cabin relatively untouched with flooring and finishes from a bygone era. A stay at Bowerbird Beach Camp is essentially a trip back in time so please enjoy the view, the water and the occasional drip of a leaky faucet. Our “no-frills” vibe is part of our charm, but it’s not for everyone.
The key to a happy stay is mitigated expectations. What we mean by that is this is a back to basics, no frills, old-school, cabin-living experience. You might have to share the footpath with frogs, kick away goose poop on the beach or squish a harmless spider or two in the rafters. The local animals like squirrels, bears, mice and flies have no boundaries. Food left out is fair game so please don’t leave food outside or out on your kitchen counters.
If you require lots of hand holding, directions on how to turn on a faucet or how to use a charcoal grill, then this just might not be the best fit for you. We have other cabins on Airbnb that feature TV’s, dishwashers, quartz counters and front doors that fully seal when you pull them shut. Feel free to book a cabin there if that’s more your vibe (you know who you are- no judgment ;-).
What we know for sure is once you’ve witnessed your first sunset while floating in the water, you’ll forget about the quirks of the cabin and will turn your focus to the distant call of the loons or catching the fireflies after dusk. The worries of your world will fall away and time will have a different meaning. You will suddenly be aware that you are living what you will come to remember as the “good old days”. This is the summer holiday where you’ll actually sit down and see each other and that your kids will beg you to relive every year.
Guest Access: As campers at Lebron's, you have access to the following shared amenities: - beach - kayak's - pedal boat - boat launch - dock - basketball hoop - fire pit - floating lily pad
Other Things to Note: Please check the weather before you come and pack accordingly. Please pack extra layers for cold days and books/games for rainy days.

Sunsets on the Lake
The sunsets on beautiful Lake of the Woods are amazing. It is rustic, as warned, but I LOVED our little cabin. The water is cold, but I grew up on the US side of this lake so I already knew that. I tried paddleboarding! I watched a how to video first & managed to stand up (after falling in on my first try LOL) & get back on it in chest deep water. Love that they offer free usage of pedal boat, paddleboards, canoes & kayaks. Owner was very friendly & helpful. Restaurants in Sioux Narrows: I recommend Big John's hot hamburger sandwich & The Trailor Carne Asada Empenadas across the road from Gill's. Mom also liked their chicken).
