The space
Beautiful secluded log cottage with a private lake, on 150 acres of forest, close to Algonquin Park.
The property features approximately 5000 ft of lakefront shoreline on three lakes.
The house is located on a peaceful and quiet private lake perfect for swimming and boating. There are several walking trails on the property that features the beautiful natural Muskoka landscape in a mature forest! Several springs on the property and plenty of ancient granite formations complement the landscape offering plenty of opportunity to explore and enjoy.
We offer a pedal boat, a canoe, two kayaks, and a large floating raft as well as several other water toys for your enjoyment! There are 4 adult life jackets and 2 medium kid size.
We also offer a canoe by the shore of the second lake. You can use it to visit our little island.
The cottage features three large bedrooms, a large loft area, a very welcoming living room with lots of games for family fun, a fully equipped kitchen, a wood fireplace in the living area and a wood stove in the kitchen, a dining room and a bathroom! The deck offers a nice view of the lake, perfect for those morning yoga sessions!
We provide bedding, blankets and pillows but you must bring your own towels.
The cottage is on an off-grid solar system that provide electricity for lights, and the small appliances we provide: coffee machine, toaster, and a hand blender. We have satellite internet to provide basic web browsing services. We also have a TV (no cable) with a Blue-ray player, so you can bring and watch your favorite shows and movies.
Summer: enjoy the water sports on the private 14 acres lake, hike through the forest, breathe in the clean oxygen rich forest air and smell the sweet white pine scent while sleeping in the hammock by the lake, do a morning forest yoga session and enjoy your coffee looking at the stunning lake and forest view from the deck.
Fall: crisp air and forest colours make the fall hike the best experience you will ever have, the view from the deck are zen like as the maple trees from the hill across the lake change color. Go on a canoe ride across the lake and have your friends take a picture of you fading away in the lake fog rising up in the morning. Listen to the forest sounds, it will be a healing experience.
Winter: imaging skating on a private 14 acres lake and then having a cup of hot cocoa in front of the fire place. The trees along the driveway are covered in snow and the branches touch up above almost giving you the impression of walking in an ice castle. The X-mas tree is set up in mid-November.
Spring: nothing beats the view of life emerging from the forest floor. Gentle spring flowers, raw green of the leafs, and trickling sound of the springs make hiking a very special experience.
Guest access: Guests have access to the entire home, the 3 lakes and the forest around it. There are several hiking trails that we maintain on our property. We have several water toys that are available for the guest as well: 2 kayaks, 1 canoe, 1 row boat, 1 pedal boat, 1 very large floating raft.
