Factor Lake Creative Retreat

About us

We're writers

We're retired professionals who finally have time to work on our creative ventures. We write mystery thrillers, sci fi and children's books.

Factor Lake is the perfect spot to disconnect from the city buzz, recharge and find new inspiration. When you need a break, you can swim, hike, fish for walleye, bass or pike off the end of the dock, pick wild berries, or even go forest bathing (yeah, we heard it's a thing).

And artists!

Hand crafted or digital art, children's book illustration, wood carving, and various crafts are just some of the things we like to do.

Are you adventurous?

We are near one of the Quetico Park backcountry entrances and can help you contact local outfitters to help you plan your adventures in the world-renowned canoeing paradise. When you're done, you'll really enjoy the time to relax in our beautiful sauna, followed by a refreshing swim!

Photos

Here are a few images of our
property and guest cabin/studio

Studio Guest Cabin

Newly constructed, bright decor and super clean. Privacy when you want it, or open up the blinds to enjoy the sunlight from wall to wall windows.

Comfortable Sleeping Area

Luxurious top quality queen size mattress ensures you get a great night's sleep. Single rollaway bed for extra sleepers.

Guest Studio

Comfortable futon folds down to double bed for extra sleeping space.

Beautiful grounds

Explore the property in search of wild blueberries or strawberries. You may even spot a bald eagle, a pair of loons, or our shy resident woodchuck.

Clean, well-stocked Kitchen

Enjoy your coffee with the sunrise, and check your email (if you must) from pretty much anywhere - even the end of the dock!

Sauna & Creative Centre

Dual purpose building features both a sauna/shower and a writing area with lake view. Check your email from pretty much anywhere.

Traditional Cedar Sauna

Heat up in the sauna and cool off in the lake. It's the grande finale to a wonderful day.

Stunning nights

Take an evening dip alongside calling loons. If you're lucky, you might witness the northern lights.
