Main Dining Room

Framed by large panels of glass, the panoramic view of Lake Ontario is one of the star attractions of this venue. The east-end view of the A-frame structure built from Douglas Fir allows the morning sun to light up the space. Rustic white hardwood floors complement the raised lounge’s yellow and gray chevron carpet tiles, a cheeky nod to the farm tractors in the surrounding agricultural area.
