About this property
Spacious Cottage on the shores of Contau Lake
Escape to Highland Lake House, your private sanctuary in the heart of the Algonquin Highlands. Nestled on the shores of the pristine Contau Lake, this 4-bedroom haven invites you to discover the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern luxury.
Step inside and be captivated by the newly renovated interiors, offering 1500 sq ft of space designed for unforgettable family moments. The large country kitchen, a dream for aspiring chefs, beckons you to create culinary delights. Entertain effortlessly on the spacious deck, where the aroma of barbecues mingles with breathtaking views of maple, birch, and cedar trees cascading down to the serene waterfront.
The living room, a spacious retreat, boasts a wood-burning fireplace that sets the stage for cozy gatherings. Engage in puzzles, board games, or air hockey, or lose yourself in a movie night via Roku wireless on the large television.
Adjacent to the living room, a screened-in pine sunroom awaits, offering a tranquil space to unwind with a good book or a glass of wine. Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of nature while gazing upon the sprawling rear property.
Adventure awaits at the waterfront, where a level grassy area is perfect for family games, and Muskoka chairs on the deck invite you to soak in the scenery. The waterfront stroll, though not the most senior-friendly, provides a true taste of the Highlands' natural beauty.
Embark on a waterborne exploration with the provided canoe or pedal boat, complete with a sun canopy for warm summer days. The nearby boat launch makes it easy to set sail on Contau Lake, renowned for Muskie, Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch.
As the day winds down, gather around the bonfire on locally crafted wooden benches. Roast marshmallows, stargaze, and let the hauntingly beautiful calls of loons serenade you as you relax in the embrace of the fresh northern air.
Highland Lake House beckons—a retreat where tranquility meets adventure, and memories are crafted amidst the natural wonders of the Algonquin Highlands. Book your escape now and experience the magic of Contau Lake.
