About this property
Renovated on HGTV Canada with a gorgeous boathouse deck
Welcome to the cottage
Bask in the most beautiful sunsets from this recently renovated three-bedroom, one-bathroom cozy classic cottage with a modern twist on the south shore of Rice Lake. Oh, and don't forget the gorgeous boathouse deck. This cottage was renovated on HGTV Canada's "Income Property on Vacation with Scott McGillivray."
Rice Lake boasts the best fishing in Ontario and we are conveniently located only 1 hour and 40 minutes east of the CN Tower. With quick commute options such as Taunton Road, 401, and 407 you will be on the dock relaxing in no time.
Ideal for two families or three couples (max. 6 adults, 2 children).
Sleeps 6 – two queen beds and a bunk bed (double on bottom, single on top). There is a banquette that can be used as a single bed.
This cottage typically rents from Monday-Sunday.

About the host
Hosted by Astrid.
We love Rice Lake and we know you will too.
Why they chose this property
Only the best sunsets from this west-facing property. Our cottage was fully renovated inside and out on the HGTV show "Income Property on Vacation" with Scott McGillivray. Since the show, we have added a new dock and new patio furniture, as well as all the water toys (canoe, kayak, stand-up paddle board and paddle boat).
What makes this property unique
Only 1.5 hours east of the CN Tower. With quick commute options like Taunton Road, 401 and 407, you will be hanging on the deck in no time rather than sitting in traffic. Rice Lake boasts the best fishing in all of Ontario. You can catch walleye and bass right off our dock.
