irishfield Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) With the permission of the mods I ask this simple question. If you were to consider a week or two vacation on Lake Temagami, where a 2 bdrm cottage rents from about $800 to $1000/week, would you consider renting a prospector tent like TJ has up at Camp Jiggy Jiggy (pic is his beauty get away spot). First off would you rent such a structure and secondly what % of what a cottage rents for would you consider paying. Tent would have propane..stove/BBQ..fridge, a furnace possibly and lighting. On at least 7 acres of land that you'd have to yourself and a view to die for. THANKS, Wayne Edited October 17, 2007 by irishfield
irishfield Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Posted October 17, 2007 I didn't ask that question...lol...just spinning my mind a bit at this point. Will know tomorrow, Thursday latest if I own ~4500 feet / 26 acres of Lake Temagami waterfront.
tomO Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 I can read your mind I think alot of people would go for that I would.
Joey Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 I definately would, and I would happily pay around $500 a week for it too. Joey
Corey Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Ya... I would show up for an OFC GTG there.
irishfield Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks Joey !! and Corey...lets not get ahead of ourselves ! LOL (but sure to happen sooner or later !! )
Terry Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 sooo is there room service satellite tv or high speed internet but really I would do a weekend in the tent but would go for a cottage if I was to spend a week there
irishfield Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Posted October 17, 2007 That's the kind of comments I'm lookin for Terry. Wanna see if it's worth the effort and expense. From what I've seen so far these "camp jiggy jiggys" aren't overly cheap.
Roy Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 My opinion. If the amenities are the same as a cottage, it's clean etc...it's worth as much as a cottage.
Joey Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Cept for the bears can git at ya easier in the tent Roy
irishfield Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Posted October 17, 2007 Cept for the bears can git at ya easier in the tent Roy Dang...we'll have an easy hook up...food barrel hangin gizzmo to appease the fraid - e- cats!
Guest gbfisher Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Does it come with a fully rigged boat?.. ...lund maybe. ..ya! ya! thats it!...A lund maybe!!! Id rent one....Im not sure about the wife though. ah well....Thats OK.. . I dont mind fishing with out her..
mikeh Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 do they have water access for parking a boat? also 7 acres gives people alot of privacy which I think they wouldn't mind paying for.
KyleM Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 I would rent it for a weekend but as Terry said, any longer and I would want a cottage. Wayne, if they arent cheap to put up....why not just build a cabin that size. Something more structural would be up all year long worry free! If it were a tiny cabin it would be great for snowmobiler/icefisherman.
irishfield Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) Currently water access. If I get it I'll be jumpin thru OMB hoops for a few years to get building permits/serverances and there is the possiblity of a road across leased crown land to get to the property. I'm not banking on that one though considering there's not supposed to be any shoreline access, other than what's already there on Lake T. In the mean time they can't stop me from putting up platforms and tents. I'll of course have to install a few docks for boats...with easy access from the town site's free launch and parking. If I actually proceed I'd probably have to have some boats for rental as well. Edited October 17, 2007 by irishfield
Roy Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 A tent over a frame such as seen in the pic is as stable and dry/warm as a cottage. (and much more romantic, Joey.)
danc Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 As the realators say... location, location, location. I'd sleep on a bare rock if the fishing was good enough.
Joey Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 I have to agree Roy and Dan, I absolutely prefer the ambiance of a tent/bare rock compared to a cabin. It just makes the "outdoor" experience more memorable in my opinion. Joey
Riparian Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 As the realators say... location, location, location. I'd sleep on a bare rock if the fishing was good enough. Oh man, I couldnt have said it better.
Rizzo Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 just make sure people are VERY clear as to what they are getting (ie photos of the exterior and interior)! Some people would think a place like this is just perfect (OFC'ers) whereas others would be mortified. People love to complain, make sure they are fully informed so that they have nothing to complain about (although we had one renter complain that there were too many mosquitoes in the evening...go figure, heart of the muskokas and somebody wasn't prepared for the evening mosquitoe onslaught)
Cast-Away Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Wayne, I camp alot and rent a cottage once a year and I have to agree with Terry. If I have a week, I want the creature comforts of a cottage, like a fridge, stove, running water, hydro etc. Especially if I a forking out coin. I rent a nice place on 12 Mile (you took pictures for me from your plane last year!) for $1000 per week. I pay $24 per day to camp at the Massasauga. Warren
