Woodsman Jimmy McOuat completed this house in 1915 when he was sixty years old. Ever since people have wondered why and how he built it. McOuat claimed that as a child in the Ottawa valley he was once scolded "Ye'll never do no good! Ye'll die in a shack!" and that he resolved late in life to avoid such a fate. Single-handedly he felled trees, winched them from the woods, and hewed them square. With block and tackle he raised massive logs onto platforms and into place. Roofing and windows were hauled in across fifteen portages from Ignace. McOuat drowned nearby in 1918, leaving this wilderness mansion as his monument.

On the first Sunday of each month, Communion is celebrated, and everyone who knows Jesus Christ as their saviour is welcome to join or observe. The dress varies between people in a suit and tie or dresses to jeans and a t-shirt. Services start at 10:30 with a blend of both traditional and contemporary songs. The service leader leads in prayer and Bible reading, and there is an opportunity to say "Hello" to those seated near you.
