Snug Harbour has put aside some Cabins at the reduced rate of $120 per day. When you book let them know that you are a member of the Bruce Trail and hiking the Frontenac Challenge. The accommodation is shared (about 4 - 6 persons). You are responsible for arranging your accommodation. Often there are opportunities for joining others in renting a cabin and jointly preparing meals.
