Cabanes à Howe Island

« Responsiveness from Owner was horrible. Sent email weeks in advance with no response until day before. Stayed opening day of season for camp. Not enough utensils or pots and pans to make a meal. If only looking for very rustic fish camp with roof overhead, then this is place for you. Family vacation is it not. Found a frying pan full of oil and spatula in oven from over winter as we were first to stay this season. I have been going to this camp for over 40 years minus a few since COVID. I would...
