**ATTENTION: Book early please. Our lake cottage books up every year atleast 6-9 months in advance. The cottage continues to be popular and we love providing a memorable lake cottage experience to all, especially families.

Details of calendar availability, cancellations, special packages are announced via our social media channels.


The Lake Cottage:
We have diligently worked at designing a lake cottage experience for you and your friends/family so you can relax, getaway and have fun. Our place is stylish yet comfortable, our cottage is cozy, cute and although it has a smaller footprint in the common living area, the land is large and our lake views are simply fantastic. Oh, and we do indeed try and provide an affordable getaway experience.

The canopy of trees that protect our property feels like nature is hugging you, protecting you from the elements. Our lake cottage is located north of Muskoka region in the Almaguin Highlands area. We think the landscape in this part of Ontario's cottage country is spectacular, more scenic up here, more mountainous regions, more peaks...

THE OUTSIDE:
There are plenty of lake cottages available to rent. The question is, why should you stay at ours? Our property is not simply a cottage with a dock next to a lake. There are plenty of those to choose from. Our property sits on 2 acres of land with scenic forest around it and ample land to play, enjoy, relax.

And the lake views are simply, well, fantastic. This is a special place. It has ample room on the outside, there are several sitting areas across the whole property that will satisfy everyone. We have an ample waterfront and beachfront with direct access into the water for anyone. NO LONG STAIRS to climb up or down to get to the water. Large yard areas to play games, picnic, have get togethers and even pitch a few tents if you want.

We have a fabulous Fire Pit area for those cozy nightly fires and even have a humble little club house built for the little kids.

You will certainly enjoy the wonderful Canopy of Trees protecting you all from both over bearing sun and rain. If you are lucky enough to visit during the Autumn, you are in for a treat when the leaves change colours. The scene on this lake is spectacular.

As for the waterfront, sit, swim, boat, fish, tan, use the Dock, swim to our floating dock, try paddle boarding, canoeing or kayaking (we include those) or lounge on the multiple sitting areas across the beachfront. Between the Waterfront areas and the large yard areas, you are sure to find an outdoor place for everyone to enjoy. There is an adult kayak and a childrens kayak, a canoe (of course) and 2 paddle boards for you to use with compliments. We also provide life jackets in varying sizes.

The cottage is about 15 minutes from Restoule Provincial Park with its famous hiking trails.

One of the reasons this lake is so popular as a destination is because it does NOT have public boat access. Only private boat access and this is what makes it popular for owners and vacationers. It keeps the lake clean and peaceful for both vacationers and owners.


THE INSIDE:
Although the cottage is smaller in foot print, it has a welcoming personality. We’ve designed the cottage to have a stylish/chic, clean, comfortable style, whilst ensuring it feels like a cozy getaway for you to relax and enjoy the beautiful wonders of being at a lake front cottage. It has 3 bedrooms and a Bunkie next to the main house for additional guests. Bedroom 1 feels ample and includes a Queen bed. Bedroom #2 also has a queen bed and a rather large walk in closet. Bedroom #3 has a Bunk Bed with a single on top and a Full bed on the bottom. If you have small children that require a pack'n'play area, bedroom #1 and #2 can accommodate.

As for the Bunkie, that’s a special place. It has a Sectional Sofa and is used as a lounge room, a play room, a relaxation area, yoga, exercise, etc. If you have guests that would like to sleep in the Bunkie the sectional sofa transforms into a queen bed as well.

KITCHEN:
The kitchen is fully stocked for you and your guests to enjoy. With our complements, we have included Coffee (Keurig machine, and instant) and Tea for you to enjoy upon arrival.

NUMBER OF GUESTS:
1 guest: You will enjoy the peace and tranquility of having all 2 acres to yourself. There is something very special about having the lake all to yourself. Take a breather, sit still, look at the lake and just be. No rush.

2-3 guests: Sharing this property with 2-3 others is a fantastic way to spend time together. Enjoy the lake together, enjoy the bonfires, the meals, the kayaks or paddleboards, enjoy playing and having fun. Good times are best when shared, after all.

4-6 guests: The ideal number for this cottage. Although the cottage sleeps 9, up to 6 guests will find the cottage extremely comfortable during your stay and will find the property/land and lake fantastic to share.

7 or 8 guests: Although the cottage can sleep 9, the sitting area in the cottage will feel cramped. On the outside, there is more than enough room to accommodate plenty of people though.

IDEAL GUESTS:
Our cottage is best enjoyed by those who wish to escape to a lake waterfront/beachfront getaway while staying in a stylish, clean place with a fabulous lake experience . We have all the amenities, toys, and land to have a wonderful getaway. Families with young kids or teenagers would be well suited here.
