The cottage
Made for slow weekends.
One big open room where everyone ends up, four bedrooms to retreat to, two full baths, and the lake right outside the sliders. Everything you need for the stay is already here.
The kitchen
Large, open, and built for gathering. Cook your favourite meals together, pull up a chair at the long table, and let a board game run late. Fully equipped, with a dishwasher and a propane barbecue outside.
The great room
Ceiling fans turning under the peak, a fireplace for the cool nights, and sliders straight out to the deck and the lake. The room everyone drifts back to.
Four bedrooms
Two on the main floor: a queen and a double. Two downstairs: a king, and a bunk room built for adults as much as kids, with a queen below and a twin XL above on each side.
1 king3 queen2 twin XL1 double
Two full baths
No morning lineups. One on each floor, so ten people can get ready without a queue.
The details
Open stairs down to the lower level. Hooks and benches in every room, so your things always have somewhere to hang.

The water
Your own lakefront, a few steps across a quiet lane.
A dock, a lakeside sitting area, and a fire pit right at the water. Two kayaks, two paddleboards, floaties, and life jackets in most sizes are yours to use. The lake is big, clean, and swimmable, with great fishing.
The bottom is clay and rock and can be slippery in spots. Bring water shoes.

The questions everyone asks.

Yes. The bunk room, the dock, the floaties and life jackets, and a cupboard of board games and puzzles for rainy afternoons. It is a quiet, family-friendly place.
How do summer bookings work?
Summer runs by the week, Saturday to Saturday, from the end of June to Labour Day. July and August weeks are $4,200 and late June weeks are $4,000. The rest of the year has a two-night minimum, and three nights or more gets the better rate.
Is there WiFi and cell service?
Yes to both. WiFi and streaming TV inside, and cell service is good on most carriers.
Is it heated? Is there air conditioning?
Heated for year-round comfort. No air conditioning. The basement stays naturally cool in summer and there are fans throughout.
