About the host
Hosted by Cynthia and Stephen Bowes
Your hosts, Stephen and Cynthia live here year round. This is our retirement home and we love it here! Cynthia is a retired nurse and Stephen is still working from home (so we have to have internet - in case you need to work here).
We love the sauna, birds and water sports. The changing views of the lake provide a never-ending source of interest. We love nature and we appreciate it so much here!
We love the sauna, birds and water sports. The changing views of the lake provide a never-ending source of interest. We love nature and we appreciate it so much here!
Why they chose this property
This property is set on a point, so we have lake views where ever you look. We have a boating dock on the bay side and a swim dock on the lake side. We feel like the property is very expansive and you won't feel hemmed in by our neighbours. That being said we have great neighbours! The location of the property is great as we are very close to the 401 and can access several amenities.
What makes this property unique
We feel like we live at a wellness health spa, especially now that we have the outdoor wood burning sauna. We placed the sauna on what we think is the absolutely most beautiful part of the point with a spectacular view down the lake. You can sit quietly looking at the view and be rewarded by wildlife that just happens by. Canada Geese, a beautiful heron, beaver, muskrat, a little mink that swims in the water and scampers over the shore rocks, as well as the squirrels and chipmunks. This is a place to slow down, be still, observe and let the surrounding nature in. The beauty of the lake is amazing and nature is all around.
