About the Log Home

Picture
Guests can relax in a private log home hand-built by Karl Bjorkman using the full-scribe Scandinavian method. Logs were selected from red pine trees in the local area. Karl learned how to build with log from his neighbour Joe Meany, a legendary local character.

This beautiful Log Home is located at the Bjorkman Homestead on Whiskeyjack Lake.  Nestled in large jackpine, birch and spruce trees, the guest home is located on the shore of Whiskeyjack Lake at Turtle Falls with a view of the lake and Atikokan River.  It is owned by Karl and Veronique Bjorkman who moved up north in 1984, cleared land and raised their six children in the Canadian wilderness north of Quetico Provincial Park.  The Bjorkman Family makes a living as prospectors, as well as being part of the forestry industry.
