My sister and I are the second generation owner of this family property which we built in 1974 and extensively renovated in the spring of 2017 redoing the kitchen, bathrooms, wiring, flooring and waterfront.
Why they chose this property
This property is about 90 minutes from Ottawa, 3.5 hours from Toronto and has great water, very clean, good fishing, good boat access, good road access but is much quieter than other areas such as Muskoka.
