History

 

Maple Leaf House

in the late 1800's, Irenus Hough built a cottage near the lake and started taking in boarders from the large cruise boats on Lake Rosseau. In 1901 the original "Maple Leaf House" was built on the current site as a hotel. In 1905 Irenus' son Ivan built a fire under the front porch to keep their small dog warm, and burned the original building to the ground.

 

In 1906 the New Maple Leaf House was re-built on the same site. 

 

 

The Main Lodge (formerly Maple Leaf House) as it looked in 1965. The resort was renamed "The Baldwins" in the Late 1940's after it was acquired by Fred and Mildred Baldwin.

 

The Main Lodge as it looks today. Deanne and Bob Rainville purchased "The Baldwins" from Al & Pat Poutanen in 1999.
