Paul sent the following directions;

Travel towards Saskatoon on #11 Hwy.

Get on the all weather grid by turning left at Findlater.

Go due south until the grid ends, about 19 Kms.

Make a right turn for about 1 Km then turn left so you're heading south again less than 1 Km you'll start your decent into the lake valley.

Very short distance down the incline and you'll come to a clearing which is the boat launch area and to your right, a sign that reads 'Lens Pump Services" Keep on in that direction and shortly you'll see a cottage with a sign near the front of the lot that says "GrayStone Manor"  Mine is the next cottage. Hopefully the road guy will have the drive way cleared by now.

For those with GPS devices the coordinates for the cottage are 50"36'55.91N and 105"25'53.82W
