Scandia Inn Temagami

The Scandia Inn was owned and operated by Vaughn Peterson and his wife EIse. The couple arrived in Canada from Denmark and opened a dining establishment and motor hotel. Their restaurant was well known for its Scandinavian food and dining was often by reservation only.

The Café Copenhagen dining room had a wonderful view of the lake. Some of the extras included hotel rooms with a lakeside view, sauna, and bar area.

The inn closed when the owners moved into Temagami and opened The Copenhagen, situated in the town's core.

Vaughn, the only waiter, was known to greet customers with a hand shake, hang your coat and walk you to your table.

The Copenhagen closed in August of 2005 when the owners, now in their 70's, felt that they could no longer operate the business.

The location of the former Inn is not published due to idiots that vandalize the property.
