About this property
The Oakdene Cottage - hot tub with a lake view!
Welcome to Shane and Alan’s Oakdene Cottage getaway - a newly renovated, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom family cottage with spectacular views out over Starr Bay, just over an hour outside of Toronto. Enjoy a hydromassage in our brand new jacuzzi hot tub followed by a bonfire and sunset over Lake Scugog.
Enter through the large family rec room where you will find plenty of comfy seating, two queen size, memory foam pull out couches, and a 65” TV with a Bose sound system. There is also a games area with a foosball table, board games as well as a workspace.
The large back deck features an outdoor dining area, plenty of space to lounge and a large, brand new 7-person jacuzzi. Bose portable speakers will be available for you to use.
Upstairs you will find 4 bedrooms with memory foam mattresses, an indoor dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. Just off the kitchen is an upper deck equipped with a propane BBQ and additional seating.
Sleeping Arrangements
Master Bedroom: 1 Queen Bed with a 2pc bathroom
Bedroom 2: 1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 3: 1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 4: 1 Bunkbed (Twin over Twin)
Lower Level: 2 Queen Beds (pullout sofas)
All of our beds come with freshly laundered bed linens, pillows, and duvets.
Situated in quiet Starr Bay off Lake Scugog, it’s the perfect place for boating and fishing. We offer two kayaks and a paddle boat. Down the street there is a public boat launch.
We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront with our guests and thus want to be clear regarding the lake conditions on Starr Bay. Even though the water is swimmable; The water in Starr Bay is clear but very shallow and weedy in a portion of the shallowest areas, making it harder to swim. We have included a few photos so that guests can see what we are referring to in the lake.
For guests that decide not to swim in the shallow area, the kayaks & paddleboat is an excellent transportation tool to venture out to the deeper regions of Starr Bay or further into Lake Scugog to swim.
