Ray was a wonderful host; he was kind and incredibly generous. His beautiful home has a spectacular lake, and his dynamic makes you feel like you're part of the family—he includes you in all the plans with his friends and family. Before applying, you should know that the place is half an hour away from the nearest town, and there really isn't much to see or do in your free time. If you decide to take this opportunity, get ready to connect with nature and spend time with wonderful people like Ray and Cecil. I love you guys; you will always have a place in my heart and a home in Mexico.

I had a great time at Ray and Cécile's cabin. I stayed there for three weeks, and it was an amazing experience. I met many of their friends, and everyone made me feel very welcome. We did some woodworking projects, including building a deck and cutting down small trees, which I really enjoyed. I also loved riding the quad and watching the beautiful sunsets.
I highly recommend staying at Ray and Cécile's cabin if you want to connect with nature and meet local people.
Merci beaucoup et à bientôt !

I stayed with Ray in his beautiful log cabin house for three weeks and had an amazing time!! We saw loads of local wildlife and got to ride snowmobiles + quad bikes around his huge property. Ray is a pleasure to be around and a great host, and you will get to meet many of his friends who are all awesome and leave you with a great impression of the local community. I would definitely recommend the guest house to any travellers looking for an authentic Canadian experience :)

One of the best experiences of my life. Ray and Cécile gave me a wonderful welcome. I had the opportunity to discover the life of a real Canadian family and learn about Canadian culture, as well as water skiing. Ray introduced me to everything he knew about nature and Canada. I felt like part of their family during my trip. I felt comfortable, and they always knew how to help me through good times and bad. A big thank you to them for everything.

It was such an amazing experience at Ray&Cecile's cabin. They are very friendly and generous, making me feel at home. They are friends with lots of nice local people and I got to meet many. Work wise, it wasn't busy because it was TOO COLD(-30/-20), and tasks were very easy: mainly, maintaining the fire, and some heavy lifting for bits delivery. I could visit and learn about oil rigs. I enjoyed watching hockey (and running the PB) and riding a quad and a snowmobile, which I found myself to be a terrible driver lol, but I really enjoyed it! It was a very CANADIAN experience. Merci beaucoup!

Ray and Cecile are the best! I flew in from Mexico (no winter clothes), and Ray lent me his—total lifesaver. It was Christmas/New Year's, so the "work" was just fun chores like gathering firewood and keeping the house cozy, with Tish, Nucho, and Shadow always around. Delivering drill bits with Ray was a blast—lots of ranches, wildlife (owls, deer, coyotes), but still no moose, sadly. Snowmobiling was the funniest—I fell, and poor Ray got tossed off behind me, oops! 😂 Ray is such a kind soul, always helping others. Wishing them all the best—such an awesome experience!

It was two months in contact with nature, learning to take care of the flowers, learning to smile in the less good times, thanks to Ray and Cecile for their hospitality and patience for not mastering English, it was a journey from outside to inside that I will never forget, thanks for the empathy in my processes.

I had a great time at Rays place. He was very nice and always tried to make the best out of my stay and made sure I felt good and comfortable. We had a lot of fun and did some great adventures like snowmobiling or a little tour with his quads, we also played a lot of cards and visited some great icehockey games. I also got to see the northern lights which was a dream come true!! All of the people I met during my time at his place were super friendly and welcoming. It's a great place to get in touch with nature and get away from your busy life. Thank you for the unforgettable time!

The house and surroundings are wonderful with breathtaking views of the lake and woods. The house is cozy, clean, and comfortable. The pets - Tish, Nacho, and Shadow - are very cuddly. The host, Ray, is generous, offering food and organising activities like snowmobile rides. However, work activities lack organization, and the host prefers to supervise closely. Menial tasks like wood fetching and cleaning don't fill much time and there's no public transport to and from the house. Additionally, there were some uneasy situations, prompting me to leave early.
