2007

In 2007 Estelle and I plan to revamp all the cottages at Maple Grove inside and out. New Dimplex electric heaters will be installed in all the cottages that presently have woodstoves. A new brighter outside paint colour will adorn the cottages. Upgrades to the plumbing and pump house are also in the plans. Landscaping improvements to spruce the property up are also planned.

2006

In the summer of 2006 we took the big plunge and purchased Maple Grove Cottages from Argo and Susan who had operated MGC for 4 years. Estelle and I are the 6th owners of Maple Grove and we will try our best to make it the nicest cottage resort on Manitoulin. Thank you for your interest in our website/blog and we are looking forward to seeing you at MGC in the future.

1940's

In 1946 the Young family started Maple Grove on the edge of Big Lake. The Young's still own almost 1000 acres in this area. They ran the cottages until the early 1970's when it was sold to an American from Ohio.
