During the tourist months, Mrs. MacFadyen stayed on the job from early morning until late at night and, with only one assistant, did the work‘ of three or four persons. (from the Memoirs of the Hon. A.E. Arsenault). After James MacFadyen’s death in 1958, his widow and Mrs. Douglas carried on the operation until 1967, when they sold the property to Mr. and Mrs. Hector MacDougall of Charlotteown, Donald Mac- Dougall of Brighton, Mass., and Thomas Hall of Summerside.

Under the management of Hector and Deanna MacDougall, the Lodge consisted of dining rooms, kitchen, office, and five bedrooms upstairs. Each of the four cottages now contained four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower, with a large central living room. The rooms were rented one at a time or as many as were required. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners were served in the main Lodge, and were included in the room rent. Meals were also served to anyone travelling by. The staff consisted of two waitresses, two chambermaids, two dish- washers, one laundry girl and an assistant cook, who all stayed in a small cottage behind the lodge; the cook and the handyman slept in the main house.
