Galini Lakehouse - Cinco Habitaciones Casa Rural, Capacidad 14

PLEASE NOTE - THE LOCATION IS INCORRECTLY SHOWING AS BEING IN QUEBEC. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON WHITE LAKE IN ONTARIO, NEAR PAKENHAM.

Newly renovated in 2025 following a change in ownership, Galini Lakehouse blends modern luxury with the timeless charm of cottage country. Once you cross the iconic five-arch bridge in Pakenham and follow the signs to White Lake, you’ll feel the weight of the everyday melt away. Just an hour from Ottawa and close to several charming small towns, Galini Lakehouse is ideal for outdoor adventurers, nature lovers, and anyone craving a peaceful lakeside escape.
Architecturally designed and thoughtfully styled, the cottage looks like it’s been lifted from the pages of a design magazine—but still feels cozy and welcoming. Natural light pours into the open-concept main floor, highlighting the freshly painted walls, soaring ceilings, and expansive windows that frame stunning lake views. The space is bright, breezy, and perfectly suited for relaxed summer living.
The main level features a spacious and beautifully furnished kitchen, dining, and living area. A large island seats 10 and makes a perfect gathering place, while the dining table seats 8 more. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with high-end appliances and a layout designed for everything from family meals to private catering. Step through the sunroom and onto the lake-facing deck for a panoramic view you’ll never tire of.
State-of-the-art amenities add to the comfort of this exceptional property. A geothermal heating and cooling system, multiple smart TVs, and high-speed Starlink internet ensure a seamless stay. The lower level offers two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a separate shower room, with direct walkout access to the lake—perfect for early morning swims. The main floor hosts another bedroom and full bath, while the upper level is home to a TV room and luxurious primary suite with a five-piece ensuite, walk-in closet, home office nook, and an adjoining second bedroom—ideal for keeping little ones close.
Outside, the lakefront is truly idyllic. Enjoy deep water off the dock, a shallow entry point for wading, and ample space to sunbathe, swim, or simply relax in nature. Whether you're fishing, kayaking, or doing absolutely nothing, Galini Lakehouse offers a peaceful and private slice of paradise.
