6 Rhodes Rd., Puslinch, Ontario
Not far from Cambridge, Guelph and KW is a charming oasis called Puslinch Lake. It is a “kettle lake”- formed by glacier activity and spring fed, and the largest of it's kind in Canada. Nestled on the south shore of this natural paradise the owner/builders of this home, with the help of an intrepid Realtor, found what they were seeking; a private and natural retreat that was close to work. They immediately saw the potential of this diamond in the rough; 1.8 acres with a generous 145ft shoreline, towering trees, very private while still part of a small and friendly neighborhood, and proximity to larger centers. Its quaint boathouse and careful plantings spoke of a well loved family recreation spot, albeit sadly neglected and overgrown in recent years.They were determined to restore the site, and create a dwelling that would suit it; rustic and natural, in tune with the neighborhood, reflecting the beauty of the lake and built in an environmentally responsible way.
Were they successful? You be the judge!
Welcome to 6 Rhodes Road. The 4400 sq ft 2 storey timber-and-traditional framed house is clad in cedar shingles, local stone and board-and-batten siding that suits the setting, and was built using the latest in energy efficient, geothermal technology and a tasteful use of recycled materials. Large, well-made wooden windows and doors, exterior clad in rich red metal, add a splash of colour, are energy efficient and an excellent frame for the view. The main floor is an open concept living area, kitchen, dining room and den. Built of massive antique ash beams from an Ontario log cabin, a variety of wood and stone finishes gives it the patina of a bygone era. This inviting setting frames a spectacular view of the lake at every opportunity. An ultra efficient floor to ceiling stone fireplace graces the great room, and is visible from the rest of the open living area. With an eclectic blend of rustic wood and soapstone finishes, and sleekly modern appliances, the kitchen has all the latest bells and whistles to make a cook happy and still offers comfortable and pleasant seating for guests around a unique live-edge spalted maple island that has- you guessed it, another spectacular view of the lake! The master suite is secluded off to one side, and a service area off the kitchen that leads to a large attached garage and shop complete the ground floor.
Upstairs is a second master, plus two more large bedrooms, baths, and a multi-purpose room above the garage that offers a private and secluded getaway. ( also virtually sound-proof from the rest of the house, for anyone with noisy hobbies...).
The park-like setting has been restored; trees preserved, perennial gardens and lawn flowing into natural areas and shoreline, and the lovingly restored boathouse holds everyone's toys!
At 5 minutes from the 401 in Cambridge it accommodates the most urban realities of daily work life, and offers a serene retreat at the end of the day. The lifestyle potential is fantastic! In every season there are outdoor activities that beckon and scenes that make one feel very far away indeed from the busyness of southern Ontario.

RUMRUNNER'S PARADISE
New Year's Eve, 1915 was a party to end all parties in Spokane. At the stroke of midnight, every saloon in the state would be out of business. This would be the last call before statewide prohibition would be enacted, closing the taps four years before the rest of the nation. But even as revelers saluted the new dry year, a lucrative wet underworld was forming between Spokane and Canada.

Haunted Heritage - Episode 1 The Orillia Opera House with Terry Boyle
In memory of my very good friend Terry Boyle [ ], who was the ultimate Storyteller, Historian Teacher and Friend. From being the host of TV's Creepy Canada, to authoring many many books including the Haunted Ontario series, to being a radio personality with his Discover Ontario series, Terry was the best friend to many... I'm uploading our Pilot project we shot back in 2006 with spiritualist medium the great Greg Kehn [ ], we thought a paranormal investigation show might be pretty cool, however due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to put it on the backburner, where now there are millions of shows of it's type... I hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it... to Terry, CHEERS!
