Family friendly all season cottage on Whitestone lake. Nestled on 7 acres forest
In the quaint town of Dunchurch, nestled in a beautifully wooded setting on a glorious Whitestone Lake, you will find your next family getaway! Whitestone Lake is an awe-inspiring lake made up of over 120 kilometers of shoreline with plenty to discover and enjoy. For the water enthusiasts, this spring-fed lake offers clean and clear water in a beautiful setting.
This stunning recently built 4,000 sq.ft. Lakehouse comes with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and ample space to enjoy quality time with your loved ones no matter the season. As you enter the timeless interior of the home, you are instantly greeted with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake. The airy communal spaces make engaging with your loved ones easy. The immaculate and expansive kitchen opens to the grand living room with its vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams. Mirroring the upper level, the lower level features an expansive games room with ping pong and foosball tables. You can also enjoy the comforts of a home theater when the weather keeps you indoors with the ultimate viewing experience. Each of the 5 bedrooms have been designed with relaxation in mind, a comfy queen bed, the option for black out blinds in each room with 2 primary bedrooms and ensuites on both levels. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness can be felt from the moment you drive up to the property.
If you’re coming with babies or toddlers, pack light. A Pack N’ Play with a bassinet insert, a highchair, baby bath, and a range of baby and toddler dishes and utensils are available for your stay. The piece de résistance is the magnificent Muskoka room opening to both the inside and outside- providing a space to enjoy modern creature comforts like TV, movies but also an area to enjoy family meals. As you exit the Muskoka room and walk outside, you will find the stone patio with BBQ area and large outdoor dining table making al fresco meals easy while the kids play in the sand pit or on the Ninja line across the yard. With 7 acres to explore, take the gradual path down to the water's edge. With morning to mid-afternoon sun, take a dip into the clear refreshing lake. Explore the narrows and the bay around the cottage with the paddle boards or canoe at your disposal. When the stars begin to light up the night sky, enjoy relaxing up by the fire pit with all your nearest and dearest under the twinkling lights.
5-minute drive from the cottage will take you to the town of Dunchurch, a quintessential small cottage country town, with a great public library, local community center, children’s playground and a sandy public beach where the kids of all ages can enjoy free daily certified swimming lessons offered by the Municipality of Whitestone . Dunchurch offers a local general store, LCBO, restaurants, ice cream shop and a nursing station, all very conveniently located 5 minutes away from the cottage. For those “have to complete” tasks, local garbage disposal is also close by, within 10 minutes from the cottage. “”
The area also offers plenty of farmers markets and golf courses. The Ridge at Manitou Gold Club, 15 minutes away, is a place of natural beauty where holes meander through the woody landscape. 18th hole offers stunning views of the Manitouwabing lake. The gorgeous clubhouse restaurant is open at all times through the day. Ahmic Lake is a nine-hole golf course on a picturesque Ahmic Lake about 20 minutes away.
For fishing enthusiasts, Whitestone Lake contains a variety of fish species. The most common species in the lake are walleye, yellow pickerel, smallmouth bass, pike, crappie and panfish. There are plenty of hotspots to go around and the lake is never crowded.
The Whitestone Lake recreational hiking trail makes a 2.9 km loop through a diverse mixed forest with towering hemlock and vibrant oak trees. With a steep climb to the beautiful lookout, don’t forget to pack sturdy footwear. It is recommended to allow 2-3 hours to complete the loop. The trail is located within 10-minute drive from the cottage.
For a change of pace, take a short-day trip to the town of Parry Sound, just a 30 minute drive away, where you will find quaint shops, bookstores, all shopping amenities, great restaurants and take-out options. Parry Sound is the home of the 30,000 Island Queen Cruise scenic tour and the "Festival of the Sound" (late July to mid-August) which features both classical and jazz music in the beautiful Charles Stockey concert hall. 45-minute drive will take you to the popular town of Hunstville

We brought our parents for their 50th Anniversary. What a fantastic place to stay!! There is nothing that you will find you need that isn't provided! Right down to a much needed Teapot. Everything is excellent quality. We thoroughly enjoyed canoeing on the lake and our daughter couldn't get enough of the paddle board. We enjoyed every second of our stay. We can't wait to come again!!
A superb property. Beautiful setting, furnishing top rate, excellent indoor and outdoor equipment.We had a fabulous time so much room for all the family, enough games and things to do for two weeks. Very friendly locals too. Werner had thought of everything and not even the most persnickety person could find anything to complain about!Thank you so much for a wonderful time ,if we didn’t live in GB we would be back next weekend.
Our family enjoyed a wonderful long weekend! The property and location was beautiful. The cottage was in perfect condition and spotless. There were lots of games and activites for all ages. Our girls loved the ping pong tables and it generated lots of laughs! Werner was quick to respond to any questions and provided lots of information prior to arrival which made the whole experience seamless. Look forward to returning!
Beautiful, clean, comfortable, and full of amenities!
Truly enjoyed our stay at Werner's cottage. It was gorgeous, tidy, cozy and had lots of activities (e.g., canoe, kayak, foosball, and ping pong). Additionally, his cottage was fully stocked and even included a welcome smores kit! Werner was a great host - he was responsive, informative, and very helpful. We would highly recommend Werner's cottage!

Thanks Sid! We would welcome you and your friends back again anytime.
Our experience was perfect from beginning to end! Werner was friendly and responsive throughout, and was flexible with our requests. The house was spotless and perfectly matched everything we’d seen in the photos. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely come back. 10/10 would recommend!

Thanks Michel, we look forward to hosting you all again!
10 of us from 10 months to 80+enjoyed a week there. Very large, well equipped with toys and watercraft for everyone. Good communication with host. Whitestone is not renowned for fishing but we caught several bass over 12 inches, as well as small pike.
We had a great time at Stillwater. We were a group of 10 - including kids and grandparents. There was something to do for everyone. Kids had fun swimming, using the mini canoes, hammocks throughout and were also able to catch pretty decent size fish off the dock. The home is spacious and well set-up for multiple families (close but not too close :)). The Muskoka room was my favourite - spacious, warm, sunny and no bugs. Werner was very helpful and responsive before and throughout our stay. Thanks for letting us use your home!
