I came across this location while looking at Google Maps aerial imaging. All I could see was that there was a small man-made structure in the woods, and it didn't look like much. One day, me and some friends decided to go see if anything was there, and to my astonishment, there it was: the first interesting abandoned location I had properly found. The location is an old log cabin that had been caved in by a log between 2008 and 2024. (A very wide range I know, I am simply utilizing the limited tools I have) We did not find anything to indicate a date of abandonment, but there was a modern looking blue recycling container outside of the building which was the most recent-looking part of it. From what we could see, the building contained two beds and some seating that was scattered about the floor. The roofed was largely caved in as well, making it difficult to get around inside, and making it impossible (or not worth it for us) to see what was on the ground on the far side of the cabin. This location is seemingly untouched by explorers, so please be extra careful and considerate not to damage anything or ruin it for future explorers. We took a long route to the destination as to avoid any suspicion since there are houses that are somewhat nearby. We took care to follow the solar pannel farm's fence to the destination, which kept us further from houses and on more of a trail. There are cameras for the Solar farm, but not for the property itself. Be careful of brambles and the odd metal pole sticking out of the ground by the farm. This property is marked as agricultural land on the Kawartha Lakes GeoHub tool, and is a part of the used property of 98 Pleasant Point Road. There is also a large dump of appliances and an old wooden motorboat nearby, along with some sort of used tiny vacation hut.

This wall has a small window

This shows how the cabin was built and how the logs were stacked to create this beautiful structure
A side view of one of the cabin’s walls
You can see a wall, some planks, and the surrounding forest and plains
The roof of the cabin
Presumably aluminum metal for the roof reinforced with wooden planks
The cave-in culprit
Here you can see the log that caused the collapse of the cabin
A shot of the cabin’s floor
You can see scrap wood, a fallen chair, and strangely an American flag.
The door of the cabin
The door was closed but unlocked when we reached the cabin, another window can also be seen here.
Another shot of the cabin’s interior
A vehicles chair on top of one of the two beds and some sort of heater I believe.
The other half of the cabin
This point was accessible due to the collapsed roof. This is what prohibited us from viewing the other interior section of the building.
