Introduction

We are a retired couple who live in a woodland setting on the shores of a small lake 40 minutes outside Ottawa. We have 10km of hiking/snowshoeing trails in our woods, and often enjoy peaceful canoeing on our lake. This is our paradise

Home & location

Our home, built in 2018, is an energy-efficient house, facing south to maximize the benefits of passive solar, with a beautiful view across the lake to the wooded hills beyond. In the woods behind our house, we have developed a trail

Finn is an absolutely wonderful dog. Active and energetic on the trails, calm and affectionate at home. Very well behaved and gentle natured. I miss him
