Inukshuk* ~ Welcome
1. We are In a quiet residential area on a dead end road. We do have neighbors. In the summer they will mow their lawns on the weekend. Sometimes I will have to mow after you arrive. It is very quiet and nice here.
2. Garbage pickup is Friday mornings as early as 6 AM.
3. The Château is on the lake and the Suites all have different lake views, some more or less than others. These views are less when there are leaves on the trees and we are in process of clearing to improve the views. The distance from the water is between 150 - 330 yards to the waters edge.
4. We are a non-smoking private facility and allow smoking on the deck only.
5. We do not allow pets.
6. We do NOT provide any kind of maid service, so please pick up and clean up after yourselves.
7. We do not have hot tubs. Instead, we have lovely soaker tubs in the suites so that you can bathe in clean water and relax in privacy. The Steel Mill has a double shower but no tub.
8. We have Saunas and Massage Chairs, Kayaks, Canoes and Mountain Bikes.
9. There a microwave, stove top, coffee maker and toaster in all the Suites but there are NO OVENS.

* Explanation of the Inukshuk ~
The mysterious stone figures known as inuksuit can be found throughout the circumpolar world. Inukshuk, the singular of inuksuit, means "in the likeness of a human" in the Inuit language. They are monuments made of unworked stones that are used by the Inuit for communication and survival. The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is "Someone was here" or "You are on the right path."
The Inuit make inuksuit in different forms for a variety of purposes: as navigation or directional aids, to mark a place of respect or memorial for a beloved person, or to indicate migration routes or places where fish can be found. Other similar stone structures were objects of veneration, signifying places of power or the abode of spirits. Although most inuksuit appear singly, sometimes they are arranged in sequences spanning great distances or are grouped to mark a specific place.
These sculptural forms are among the oldest and most important objects placed by humans upon the vast Arctic landscape and have become a familiar symbol of the Inuit and of their homeland. Inuit tradition forbids the destruction of inuksuit. An inukshuk (also known as inuksuk) is often venerated as symbolizing an ancestor who knew how to survive on the land in the traditional way. A familiar inukshuk is a welcome sight to a traveler on a featureless and forbidding landscape.
An inukshuk can be small or large, a single rock, several rocks balanced on each other, round boulders or flat. Built from whatever stones are at hand, each one is unique. The arrangement of stones indicates the purpose of the marker. The directions of arms or legs could indicate the direction of an open channel for navigation, or a valley for passage through the mountains. An inukshuk without arms, or with antlers affixed to it, would act as a marker for a cache of food.
An inukshuk in the form of a human being is called an inunnguaq. This type of structure forms the basis of the logo of the 2010 Winter Olympics designed by Vancouver artist Elena Rivera MacGregor. It is widely acknowledged that this design pays tribute to the inukshuk that stands at Vancouver's English Bay, which was created by artisan Alvin Kanak of Rankin Inlet, Northwest Territories. Friendship and the welcoming of the world are the meanings of both the English Bay structure and the 2010 Winter Olympics emblem.
