Imagine enjoying the freedom to truly experience life, spend more time with your family, and own an exceptional piece of Northern Ontario paradise.

Attaining freedom becomes a peaceful state of mind, and owning this remarkable resort offers the opportunity to pursue that peace and harmony while operating a successful, established business.

This is your wake-up call to take charge of your destiny.

Wanikewin Lodge is far more than a business—it is a cherished destination with a legacy of excellence and a proven history of flawless operation.

This is an exceptional turn-key opportunity with diverse income streams, a loyal clientele, and an outstanding reputation built over more than 76 years.

Our location on the Pickerel River has a long history.

Our resort was established in 1946 by the Grill family as a Housekeeping Resort, Wanikewin Lodge has changed hands over the decades while continuing to thrive as a successful venture.

Today, the resort proudly offers both American Plan and Housekeeping Plan accommodations, welcoming generations of guests who return year after year.

Wanikewin Lodge (Wan-a-key-win) is where fishermen and their families come together to experience Northern Ontario at its finest.

Nestled along the beautiful Lower Pickerel River, the lodge enjoys a truly spectacular setting with miles of clear, calm, and safe waterways.

The countless bays, islands, and connecting channels leading into Georgian Bay create a paradise for anglers, boaters, wildlife enthusiasts, and nature lovers alike.

As the only lodge west of Highway 69, Wanikewin Lodge offers guests a rare opportunity to truly escape from it all.

Surrounded by sheltered shores and unlimited miles of boating, the resort provides an unforgettable Northern experience in one of Ontario’s most beautiful wilderness settings.

The heart of the resort is the rustic Main Lodge, where guests gather to relax, dine, and share stories of the day’s adventures.

The Main Lodge also includes the owners’ residence, making day-to-day operations both convenient and enjoyable.

The commercial kitchen, dining room, gathering area, and spacious wraparound deck all combine to create the social hub of the resort.

From the deck, guests experience the peaceful beauty of the Canadian Northwoods while enjoying magnificent sunrises and unforgettable sunsets.

This successful turn-key business includes ten cottages, with nine fully operational waterfront accommodations and one cottage still standing that should be taken down.

Together, the resort offers twenty-three bedrooms, including two one-bedroom cottages, five two-bedroom cottages, two three-bedroom cottages, and one stunning four-bedroom cottage.

The nine operating cottages are fully equipped with upgraded water systems, full bathrooms, appliances, spacious waterfront decks, private docks, electricity, hot and cold running water, comfortable living areas, and beautifully paneled interiors.

Every cottage includes propane barbeques, picnic tables, deck or lawn furniture, frost-free refrigerators with large freezer compartments, full-size stoves with ovens, microwaves, coffee makers, and toasters.

Guests are provided with everything they need, including all cooking and eating utensils, glassware, sheets, pillows, blankets, kitchen towels, bath towels, and toilet tissue. Really, all they need to bring are their personal belongings and a camera.

Every guest package includes a sixteen-foot Lund fishing boat for every two to three people, complete with a fifteen-plus horsepower motor, with fuel provided.

Upon arrival at Smith Marine, every guest is picked up at no charge and personally escorted to their vacation cottage. Housekeeping guests may also enjoy meals in the Main Lodge for an additional charge, while Wi-Fi is available within the lodge itself.

One of the resort’s favorite amenities is the enclosed screened fish cleaning house, complete with water and electricity, making it convenient and enjoyable for anglers after a successful day on the water.

And speaking of fishing… did we mention it is truly world class?

Fishing is exceptional from the middle of May through mid-September, with anglers targeting Pickerel (Walleye), Northern Pike, Musky, Large and Smallmouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Black Crappie, Sturgeon, and a variety of panfish. Seldom can fishermen find all of the major freshwater sport fish within the same body of water.

One recent guest summed up the experience perfectly: “We crushed the walleye, pike, bass and landed a musky! Awesome food at the lodge, cabins are clean and beautiful.”

For those who simply enjoy nature, the wildlife viewing is equally spectacular, making Wanikewin Lodge an unforgettable destination for the entire family.

The resort’s physical plant is in A-1 condition, featuring an updated water system, solid septic system, an excellent chattel list, four sixteen-foot steel fishing boats, and two pontoon boats that continue to attract avid anglers and boating enthusiasts alike.

The business itself is solid, supported by a strong base of repeat customers, an excellent reputation, a professional website, and an outstanding booking system. Guests continue returning year after year to enjoy the incredible fishing, swimming, boating, outdoor recreation, and peaceful Northern lifestyle.

Currently operated as a three-season resort, Wanikewin Lodge also offers exciting potential for expansion into a four-season operation, thanks to the nearby snowmobile trail.

Included in this remarkable offering are 4.4 acres of land with an impressive 1,395 feet of shoreline, surrounded by Crown land that provides endless opportunities to explore and enjoy nature.

It is a natural resource that is rarely challenged and hardly ever matched.

Quite simply, this resort is in A-1 Condition, A-1 Shape, and an A-1 Location.

Opportunities like Wanikewin Lodge seldom become available.

Whether you are looking for financial freedom, a rewarding lifestyle, or a legacy investment for generations to come, this extraordinary property offers it all.

Opportunity knocks.

This is an exceptional opportunity that will not last long.
