I was at a meeting at rainbow lodge a few weeks ago in B.I. You can rent it for $300 per nite. It is all redone and looks nice.
The water level is really low so i don't think Billy could motor boat up to the dock. I noticed there are only 2 bedrooms upstairs. Hmmmm, where did Billy or Hannah sleep if Nancy had the main bedroom?????
The rental fee seems reasonable given that you presumably have the run of the whole place. I have seen pictures of the completed lodge and it does look great. The repairs were not finished when we held the Rainbow Country reunion in 2006. I have posted video of the reunion on my channel.
Maybe I will rent it for a few days next summer and stage another reunion - although many of the individuals involved with the series are no longer with us - most recently Lois Maxwell and Bill Davidson.
The series was indeed filmed in and around Manitoulin Island and I hoped to get up there to do filmingm but did not make it. Instead, I used my summer cottage in Prince Edward County as a base and shot the wilderness scenes there. We held a reunion of the cast and crew of Rainbow Country in 2006 at the original venue and I will post videos of that reunion as soon I as I get to it.
I met Janet in 2004 when I was working on a linguistics thesis. She's an author and storyteller and when I found out she also does theatre I asked her to be in the video and she agreed. I also thought she looks a lot like Margot Kidder in the "Long Tough Race" episode so that's how I worked it into the spoof.

Very well done, matching up the characters from 35 years ago to what they could look like today.
I thought the series was filmed on Manitoulin Island, I did not know it was done in Prince Edward County.
