The kitchen is fully stocked with all your essentials and more, while the dining table comfortably accommodates 8+ guests.

For your comfort, we`ve thoughtfully included two air conditioning units to keep you cool during hot summer days, in-floor heating to ensure warmth on chilly winter nights, and ceiling fans throughout for added comfort.

An array of water toys awaits your enjoyment, including the coveted Aqua Lily Pad, adult and child-friendly stand-up paddleboards, sleek kayaks, a classic canoe, a whimsical paddleboat, and a playful assortment of inflatable watercraft.

Anticipate evenings filled with captivating sunsets, lakeside campfires, enchanting starry skies, and the heartwarming sight of the passing train saluting you as it enters the historic town of MacTier. For the angling enthusiasts in your group, a delightful bonus awaits – the opportunity to catch smallmouth bass and pike right from the end of our private dock.

Piece of Paradise

A perfect location on a beautiful lake. Since it was September, there were very few people on the lake and it was very peaceful. I would suspect it would be nice during the summer as well since it is not overbuilt with cottages. The cottage was not new, but had been fixed up very nicely, was clean, and was furnished with everything we needed. The owner was very easy to work with and was available if needed. Beautiful sunsets and great fishing. The kayaks and other boats provided was a nice extra. Would highly recommend.
