Accommodations
We offer beautiful accommodations on picturesque Lake Temagami.
We offer clean, comfortable accommodations in spacious cottages. These vacation homes are well spaced amongst mature trees providing freedom and privacy. Each cottage is located on the waterfront with its own private dock and outdoor gas barbecue for those naturally cooked meals.
Inside, standard features include electric heat, electric lights, electric refrigerators and stoves, microwaves, fully equipped kitchens and living rooms, and 3 piece baths. The bedrooms consist of a variety of double, twin and bunk beds. Each cottage, accommodating from 2 to 6 people, has its own unique character and breathtaking view in a private, secluded setting. Satellite TV service is available in each cottage and Wifi is accessible near the main lodge.

Frequently Asked Questions(Cottages):
1) Do I require a Boating License?
Everyone regardless of age or type of powered recreational vessel operated will need a license. For our boat renters, we can issue you a temporary boating licence that is valid for your stay here.
2) How Can I Communicate Back Home?
Cell phone service is somewhat unreliable on the lake. Please enjoy your vacation off the grid and untethered from the office.
In the event that you wish to contact someone, free high speed internet (wifi) is available near the main lodge (you will need to bring your own portable device). There is no internet in the cottages at this time.
3) Are Pets Allowed at Canusa?
We are sorry, we have a no pets policy
4) What Are Your Food Shopping Suggestions?
Regarding groceries and meal planning, we have a 4-burner stove, an oven, a microwave, a full-sized fridge with freezer compartment, and a barbecue outside the door. You can do your grocery shopping at home and pick up any perishable items in the town of Temagami at Our Daily Bread grocery store or, in North Bay at Sobey’s right off Highway 11 (about 60 miles before you get to us), or you can do all of your grocery shopping there. For a few items that you may forget, you can go to Boatline Bay Marine (about 2 miles from here by boat), or to Loon Lodge (about 1/2 mile by boat). There is a snack bar / “fast food” restaurant as well at Loon Lodge (open in the summer).
