Off-leash friendly
Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.
Like most folks who’ve been bitten by the water ski bug, I dreamed of having my own lake and when I met my life partner Harald, an elite slalom skier, my search began in earnest. By a combination of good timing and good luck, I was able to make that dream come true and in the spring of 2014 I acquired this land with the hopes of building my dream water ski lake on it. 7 years later, we have a thriving water ski club and are constantly making improvements to the site. We now have decided to add some sites for rent to share this incredible property with others outside the water ski community. Site #1 is a small cabin that sleeps 3 and site #2 is a small houseboat that has been converted to a bunkie. Onsite activities include use of a canoe and paddleboard. Use of a kid's swingset and olympic trampoline. Swimming and fishing. Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted.

Little Houseboat
Perfect get away for “Glamping”
My partner and I have a trailer at a water ski resort so we didn’t mind the water skiing, it was entertaining to watch. We stayed at the little house boat, the very last one on the property which was VERY private!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Theresa is a great host and very responsive and was very quick to address any concerns we had. We brought our memory foam mattress topper after reading some reviews that the pull out sofa was uncomfortable. We also brought tarps just as you would if you went camping and we were glad we did!! It rained on Friday night so we put a tarp up in the gazebo and over our fire so we could still enjoy the out doors. Swimming was great, however the dock had seen better days, but that didn’t stop us and we really didn’t mind. We were in and out of the water quite often as were both our dogs. The waves that the water skiers provided was great entertainment for our 2 yr old pup that loves to chase the waves!!! I would recommend bringing cookware if you plan on cooking over the fire. There is a bbq on site and also 2 burners inside for cooking. It is also air conditioned which is a huge bonus!! The spot is amazing with a beautiful view!! We will definitely be coming back!!

Bunkie on Privately Owned Ski Lake
Great little getaway! The water skiing was busy on the weekend but much quieter on weekdays. The bunkie had everything you needed (cutlery, fridge, hot plate, AC!!!)The bathroom was a bit of a trek from the site though. They also have a trampoline and little park on site free to use. Super close to town which was nice (groceries, Tims, shoppers). Overall, had a blast!

Bunkie on Privately Owned Ski Lake
Beautiful pond, Fairly priced
For the price, you cannot beat it so close to Niagara Falls, beautiful pond and entertaining to watch the water skiers. For those who complained.. This Bunkie is not pristine and perfect and clean true and there are bugs. But that is part of having a Bunkie that is not a finished cabin that seals the outdoors. It is meant to be a step up from a tent. In the evenings, the Bunkie Becomes fairly private. As this is personally owned land, be advised that children may pass by the area frequently so judge your activities accordingly. The host was very friendly and responsive. We really enjoyed our stay and will be definitely back again. If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to have a washroom or a port-a potty closer to that side of the pond. Thank you

Bunkie on Privately Owned Ski Lake
Bunkie
The porta potty is too dirty to use & the location is far & scary to walk outside at night coz it’s too dark. You can not swim or use the lake if someone else is skiing. The pull out bed is dirty. There’s a utensil but seems dirty to use especially with no sink & potable water nearby. No door locks.

Bunkie on Privately Owned Ski Lake
A great little get away at T's pond. We went during the week and it was nice and quiet...just a few skiers around dinnertime which provided some nice entertainment! We were thankful for the air conditioner in the bunkie as it was 30+ degrees outside. We loved the fire pit and we were fortunate enough to enjoy a clear starry sky after the sun set. We brought a small tent to accommodate one of our kids and there was plenty of space to set up. The screened gazebo was a nice way to escape the brief period of rain that blew through. The bunkie is rustic but it was equipped with the basic dishes and cookware we needed for the 4 of us. If staying in the future I would bring some eco friendly dish soap and maybe some paper towels/extra dish cloths. The port-a-potty was a bit of a walk...I'd make sure you bring a flashlight if you are going to be using it throughout the night. We all enjoyed a swim and our dog had a blast!
