Doug,

Check out the Black Forest Resort.
I was going to stay at pancake bay park about 7 years ago but it was raining
and I did not have the westy.  So, we (future wife) drove up the Queens
hwy(west) a few miles, err, a, kilometers and found the "Black Forest
Resort".  There were billboards for it every 2 miles, it seemed, from Sault
SteMarie.
It was an old 50's type cabin resort w/ main lodge.  The cabins were truly
bad; holes in screens, millions of mosquitoes, a bucket in place of plumbing
under sink (beginning to sound like a westy) and dust about 2 inches thick
under the beds w/ dirty bedding of course.  Anyway, a couple had taken over
running the lodge trying to make a "go of it".  Very friendly, accommodating
folks, And eager to take American $$.   The food was local and took about 2
hours but was excellent.  spent the wait drinking mango margaritas.   The
night we stayed most everyone gravitated to the lodge for a drink, and
stayed until 3a.m.  Except for us most everyone was Canadian; going either
east or west looking for work or adventure/work.  Very interesting time--my
first trip to Canada.
Rates were about $30 cdn per night
spent an additional $80 that night and next morning on drinks and food.
