Facilities:

Approximately 7 acres with 700 feet of shoreline. 5 docks to service boats. 10 guest cottages and 2 other staff cabins Hanger for small float plane at water's edge and used for dry storage of safety gear and maintenance of marine equipment.

Fish cleaning house complete with work counters. On electric grid so no generator needed.

Competition:

There are no other lodges or camping on any of my lakes. Competition is other vacation destinations in the United States and Canada. Very few offer drive in capabilities PLUS remote lakes without flying. At present, an increased Ontario market is providing most of our revenue because of the US economic downturn. Normally the US accounts for 60% to 70% of gross annual revenue.

Growth Potential:

The ATV business is booming and has not been tapped yet in this region. Trails are being developed now. The winter business has not been followed for snowmobiling or cross country skiing. An easy market could be had simply by utilizing existing staff.

Training/Support:

Two initial weeks by owner.

Seller Financing:

This will depend on buyers equity. $350,000 down and seller will hold $200,000. Finance the balance.

Sale Reason:

Wish to retire. It's been a great family experience for 21 years.
