Start of walking please pay your attention to where your walking? You do not need injury going thru wood like you did.:( I care Brent what happens to you:)
I have to play catch-up, I've been to Sicily. This video is immense!, shame about the rotting floors in the hotel as there's some good wood amongst all of that, I can almost smell that mould too...mask?. Just lookin out for ya, x. Those hotels looked like they would have been 'spidery' even back when they were being used...just made myself shudder there🤣.
The saddest for me is all the vandalism in the abandoned homes and buildings it just is so unfortunate. Still you researching these places is incredible I trust it possible you will come across some in time that are just as they were left. Thanks so much for your research and work 🇨🇦🙏💖
The whole video was beautiful and respectful, but the ending at the shrine and the drone footage was particularly gorgeous. Thank you for preserving these poignant memories.
Great Explore. The shrine for me was the Best Part of the island. The old fashioned locks on the outside of the doors in the hotel was creepy. Very Beautiful & Peaceful. The second hotel building was in pretty good shape. Hope none of horrific things like what happened at the Indian Schools in Canada happened on this island. Thank🌻You Brent for bringing us this unusual great explore. 👍🏻
Great explore 👍 I could only imagine what the island would look like during the summer 🤔 Thank you for the effort, sweat, struggles, long walk ,and work it took for you to share with your viewers 🙂🥰❤🙏
I think it has a metal roof. My parents had that on their home. They lived in a home in the woods and had a lot of snow in the winter. Looking at this place makes me incredibly sad. It is all so beautiful. The wood in these buildings, is beautiful too. I just hate to see this all falling down. Thank you so much for bringing us here. Blessings to you and always be safe.
Absolutely loved that you were able to show some pics of what the house and shrine looked like long ago. Wish that was easily done for all your finds. Great explore as always.
Beautifully captured for posterity!We grew up RC,found this fascinating,this Pope was said to be kind,gentle,intelligent and ‘spiritual’,a big animal lover.Well worth trudging through the snow to see that monument! Have a lovely Easter. Thankyou & Cheers!
Thank you for another exceptional explore. Your videos are so enjoyable. I absolutely got a feeling of nostalgia from this one. You create works of art and I thank you!
Absolutely fascinating Brent - the kind of place I'd like to explore myself!! Thank you for trudging through the snow 🌨 to bring us yet another great video!! Happy Easter! Gill 🇬🇧
I stumbled on one of your videos and it took me back to my childhood. We grew up farm kids, and our entertainment was finding old houses to explore! We probably learned more than most city kids. Was a lot of fun! Enjoy watching you explore very old places! Thanks for sharing!👍
Thank you Brent for another unique explore. I'm glad we saw it before the whole lot collapsed. I hope that whatever happens to the site that the shrine is preserved.
Oh . . . days of yesterdays past . . . I really enjoyed this one, Brent. The chapel is beautiful still, as well as the shrine. My father was an Episcopal Priest, and I remember some of the places that he had haunted in the past. This island, I am sure, was absolutely beautiful in its time. I really appreciate your channel, and I appreciate the fact that you do not leave the past behind. We really could learn a lot in this day and age about the things that people used to do, the places that they had lived, and the things that they used to cherish. Thank you for bringing fond memories back to me. And please be careful when you are exploring!
Brent what an awesome find. The knoty pine wood is so beautiful in these buildings, well worth saving. The price of wood is outrageous like everything else. This would be cool to see in the summer time. The chapel, priceless ❤
That was really really interesting. The chapel was my favorite. Looks like it could be refurbished but a shame it probably won’t be. It would be really cool to spend time in a cottage there summer or winter, a new cottage that is. So peaceful. The shrine was pretty amazing as well. Thank you for venturing out there over the ice to show this incredible place!
Great video! I loved it when you came across the lake, looked like a lot of fun. I loved the Church and the shrine, loved it all. Thanks for what you do to show the things we probably never will see. 🥰
Definitely enjoyed the video and the music during the view of the chapel and stone alter. In the UK there are many old places like this but a heritage foundation keeps up with maintenance and open them up to the public. Canada has so little old buildings you would think we would want to preserve them. Thank you for at least documenting whatever you find. Hope you have a great Easter weekend.
One of the best tours I have seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing this with us all and showing us the beauty of nature along with where the Pope would go for a retreat. The mind would have to see this as it once was but it was far more beautiful than I had imagined. Well worth spending time in viewing. A beautiful island for a retreat.
I just had to watch again! It's early in the morning & cannot sleep. What to do? Re-Watch some of Brent's explores! Don't recall if I commented last time, but want to be certain to thank you for your hard and very dangerous work you do so we can see and experience what you do! You're the Best! I remembered much of this video, but not really the last parts of the chapel & the shrine!!! And those were truly amazing!!! I think my favorite spots! Bless you Brent, and thanks again for all of your hard work!❤
Just got done watching the replay. What an awesome exploration with lots of history! I bet this place was gorgeous back in the day with lots of activity. You are right, I can imagine the fireplaces and furniture were so beautiful at one time and that chapel and shine are amazing for sure! The post office was so cool too! I saw you in the chat talking about hockey. I live in Minnesota and we are huge hockey fans so I can't resist and I need to say "Let's Go Wild" 💚🏒💚😂 Great video Brent, thank you!
I really enjoyed this visit to the island. I could totally envision beautiful rustic lodges and a hotel done in beautiful wood updated for today. A nice getaway. Loved the shrine!
Sooo good! Luved those snow covered beds and the Beautiful views out over the lake. Luved the little post office and I agree the chapel was my fav too. Everything being snow covered really added to the total abandoned feel.
Another great explore now I know why you didn’t upload it on Saturday because it was long. Such an amazing island I bet it’s beautiful in the summer with the water lapping the shore. So glad you found it and were able to share it. A lot of hard work goes into your videos and it is appreciated. 😀
Looking very handsome Bret! I love Canada,it's so beautiful!! This whole resort should be grazed and rebuilt as a year long resort with each season brining endless beauty, thanks Bret,great scenery and video 💯👍😎
Forgot to compliment the music you add to the certain scene....it is so calming and divine...like the one in the chapel for example or in the beginning of the each film....you are GOOD by the capital G. .Cheers from Toronto!
That was very cool, the church was my favorite and the shrine. That one room in the hotel part was in such good shape. Thank you for taking us along. Take care!
HI BRENT,, WHAT GREAT OLD PLACE THE DINNING HALL AND KICHEN W/ THE FIRE PLACE I CAN FEEL THE FUN AND LAUGHS, IN THE PAST.. OLD 70S PANNAL..ANOTHER GREAT DINNER HALL.GLAD YOUR EATTING ,, THE FORSTER BUOLDING IN THE OLD PICTURE LOOKED GOOD.. WE HERE KIDS ON THE ISLAND WITH YOU AND A DAD..A NEWS PAPER IN THE FORSTER,,,,, I NOTICED IT SAID A MOVIE FROM HELL!! THATS CARRIE... HA!!!! THE CHAPEL IS GREAT!! WITH THE SOFT MUSIC..YES...HAPPY EASTER,, CHAPEL AND DANCE HALL....THE CURTAIN SEPERATE THE TO ROOMS..AWSOME SHINE!!!! LOTS OF WORK.. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!! PEACE...
Such a beautiful mess what a sadness..!! I don't understand why so many properties remain abandoned when there are so many homeless people!! Always so beautiful Brent!!
I agree many unused buildings could be repurposed for the homeless, even so there doesn't seem to be anyone really interested in making that a reality . This particular property is too secluded and transportation, weather, supplies all that would present huge difficulties. I could imagine a dedicated group having a kind of commune- farming, fishing, a return to nature sort of 1970s 'hippie' enclave...maybe?
Would be really nice to have your own island..Bet it was really nice back In the day...Would of loved to of seen it back in the day..Thanks for the share ❤️❤️❤️
Brent : what a good movie production of this ...........i have been wait 4 u to get a new vid. THANK YOU.4 preserving history.. i see u skip accross the ice . like ice road truckers.!!!
Really beautiful woodwork and furniture in the chapel,hopefully some or all of it can be reclaimed and reused for others to enjoy. To build a ceiling like that in the chapel would be a small fortune nowadays.The shrine is a masterpiece,Hopefully it continues to stand for many more decades and centuries. Thanks for the share ! Enjoyed this journey a lot!
Ah, the old snow stomping sweats. Stunning shrine. Nostalgic but creepy/lonely vibes. The flannel shirt hanging in the tool shed…I dunno, gave me feelings. Great explore.
I like your channel bro & its cool what you do, i explored quite a bit of abandoned places in ontario once, it was quite something and alays a trip to see a house etc that people once lived in..
This was a pretty awesome explore for me. If you enjoy this video please help my channel and like/share and comment 😁👍🏻

Is it just me or do you hear those kids talking at about 28 minutes in while you are flipping through the bible??? Creeped me out!

Great video Brent!
Excellent cinematography on the outer shots and great choice of music as usual, loving this :)
Sooo good! Luved those snow covered beds and the Beautiful views out over the lake. Luved the little post office and I agree the chapel was my fav too. Everything being snow covered really added to the total abandoned feel.
Thanks! I really liked filming and exploring this place 😁👍🏻
Such a sad feeling of it all!!!! God Bless and Thank You for showing!!!!
Amazing place! Great find, thank you.
Just awesome!! Good that you got there before it was too late. These are the types of places I like to explore too.

The ceilings of the chapel are stunning! Also love the stonework on the shrine. Thanks for trudging through the snow for us!
Thanks Peggy!
Video was awesome but that’s crazy to go across frozen lake like that! Wow! Stay safe !
Loved this video! Your videos NEVER disappoint! Beautiful ❤
Thanks so much!
That was very cool, the church was my favorite and the shrine. That one room in the hotel part was in such good shape. Thank you for taking us along. Take care!
Maybe that was the popes room?
Great explore. I can imagine what it might have looked like back in the day. Thank you

What a cool explore Brent! Great drone work too! You did an amazing job documenting this place 👍😁
Красивая, тихая природа.. Дикая. 🙂🙂👍👍👍🙏
Thanks for showing us this video. It is always sad to see homes torn up by vandals, it sounds like Mike had a great life.
I really enjoyed your video. Sad it's all gone.
Amaizing, the place looks decayed and rotten away but maybe no as much as the roman Catholic institution
Brent : what a good movie production of this ...........i have been wait 4 u to get a new vid. THANK YOU.4 preserving history.. i see u skip accross the ice . like ice road truckers.!!!
For a man who took a vow of poverty, he sure owned a lot of poverty!
Really beautiful woodwork and furniture in the chapel,hopefully some or all of it can be reclaimed and reused for others to enjoy.

This place has awful energy 😢 pretty disturbing
They found native artifacts in the 70’s when clearing a spot for a playground
That shrine was beautiful. Best for last. Hopefully that won’t ever be destroyed by human hands. Chapel was beautiful too. Thanx Brent
Que bonito video y que hermoso 💕 res bendiciones ❤️ mándame saludos hermoso !
This was a really cool place to see, Amazing! 😊
Ah, the old snow stomping sweats.
Stunning shrine.
Nostalgic but creepy/lonely vibes.
The flannel shirt hanging in the tool shed…I dunno, gave me feelings.
Great explore.
Wonderful 👍
I cherish your fearlessness💞
Great explore Brent. Happy Easter to you.
Thanks! Happy Easter!

Great video. Enjoyed the uniqueness of the place. Itd be smart if new development kept the shrine intact!
I agree! Nice garden around the shrine would like nice
