Gin Mill on Drummond Island
This 1100 square foot home has 1 bedroom and 1 bath on the main floor, plus an open loft with extra beds for a total sleeping capacity of 8 people. Tucked away in a quiet area on the South side of the island, this home has fantastic views of Lake Huron, allowing you to relax and enjoy the Island to its fullest.
This home was built in 2004 and has several finishes that were used from natural resources right on the home's property, such as the stair railings and beds, which were made from cedar trees that were cleared when making room for the home. The wood-burning fireplace is faced with rocks that were handpicked from the shoreline, and the mantle is made from reclaimed wood.
The property has 100 feet of shore frontage with wide open views of the lake. You can enjoy the passing of freighters right from the shore or while out exploring in the 2 kayaks that are included. The fire pit area is also located close to the water.

Remote Resting Place
This property is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful sunsets, views of the water, various rocks and vegetation. Excellent for those who want some plain r and r and great scenery. If you’re looking for water recreation, kayaking is pretty much the only choice as it is fully a rock populated shoreline and water floor which makes getting in the water extremely difficult. There are, however, a few sandy beaches on the island that you can go to swim at. The inside of the house was comfortable and enjoyable. Overall a great stay!

Moosing Around
The stay on Drummond Island was amazing! The Gin Mill was the perfect location for us. A drive off the beaten path. With a tunnel and wildlife to be seen. Our lastnight we came across something we never expected to see a MOOSE!! Talk about a chance in a lifetime. Timing is everything! The Gin Mill was 100% what they said it was. The view was amazing! Definitely will vist again.
