My family and I used to go to Sparrow Lake (Stanton House) from the States every summer in the 70’s and 80’s. I haven’t been there since 1981 but the memories are so special and so strong. Thanks for triggering good memories.

A great spot. Those lodges in the 70s and 80s were great holidays. Not too many left.
