The Island A-Frame is a gentle reminder that enough really is enough. Enough comfort, enough nature, enough quiet, and enough adventure to leave you feeling full instead of fried. Tucked into a wooded corner of 1 Big Sustainable Island, this cozy A-frame invites you to slow down: sleep deeply, cook simple meals, sway in a hammock, warm yourself by the woodstove, and listen as loons and crackling fires take turns filling the air.

We had an amazing time at the A-frame! It was so cozy at night and the gazebo was the perfect outdoor kitchen. We spent lots of time on the dock, enjoying our meals and watching baby squirrels play. We borrowed a couple paddle boards and had a great time paddling and floating around the island. Kent was so helpful with answering our questions and checking in on us whenever he passed by. We hope to be back soon!
It is obvious that Kent and Heather love what they are doing. Where else can you vacation with three dogs and your family. Sweet private sights where you can get unplugged from your weekly grind. I would love to bring my family, human and K9, back again!
The A Frame was very lovely. A short walk to a private dock, and very quiet. Hoping to visit again for a longer stay!
I was planning to stay here for 5 days. However, I had to cut my stay short and leave after 1 day due to an emergency. Throughout this experience, Kent was extremely helpful and kind. He was quick to respond and arranged a ferry ride for me to leave the island immediately. The hospitality from Kent and his entire team is truly unmatched! <br/>As far as the place itself is concerned, while I didn’t stay very long, I was definitely mesmerised by its beauty. It was calm, peaceful, private. Just perfect for unplugging and getting away. I’ve already planned to come back to the island in a couple of months so I can make up for my previous experience.
1 Big Sustainable Island was amazing! Kent and the rest of the staff were so responsive and accommodating. Everything went very smoothly. It was amazing that every group had a private dock—it never felt too crowded on the island! Our group is excited to return next summer.
We had a great time on the island. Everything was perfect. Kent and the crew really have everything figured out for their guests. No hassles, laid back island time. We will be coming back next summer for sure
The experience on the island from the care of the staff to the solitude and peace of the space was like no other!! We will definitely be back, it’s exactly what we wanted and needed!
We stayed in the A-frame cabin for our 2-day fishing trip. Was just what we needed... private place to spend the night with a dock for our boat. Would recommend this off-the-grid experience to anyone. Great host and experience.
What a beautiful gem 1BSI is!!! Kent, Heather and crew are so kind and welcoming. They’ve got this whole thing figured out giving you the time to relax and enjoy. When we had a kiddo boo boo incident, they were on it immediately and did everything possible to ensure that we had what we needed. The a frame was perfect, the island and the lake are stunning and the peace and quite is so rare and incredible. Thanks Kent and family for letting us share a piece of your heaven!
