It offers air conditioning and heat for year round comfort.

The cottage has a great room with large wood burning fireplace, gourmet kitchen, separate dining room and a large loft area with a 50″ TV and PlayStation. A Weber bbq is located just outside on the deck to handle all of your bbq needs. There is also a beautiful outdoor covered porch with wood burning fireplace and fire table, as well as a screened in porch with a beautiful gas fireplace – your choice of the perfect place for a rainy day or when you need a break from the sun. Relax in the saltwater hot tub (use at your own risk) on the large outside deck. For time at the water, there is a sandy beach with a gradual entry into the water or you can jump in off the dock. There is a large trampoline and swim mat for those who like to play in the water. Enjoy exploring the area by boat, canoe, kayak, paddleboard or hiking, or cozy up by one of the four fireplaces with a good book and a glass of wine! Delight in a beautiful sunset every night!

Nature abounds at this retreat. In the spring, turtles lay eggs in the backyard. Herons fly overhead, osprey fish in the bay, loons nest nearby and the lucky ones get to see their babies. Some of the best fishing on the lake happens minutes from the cottage or right off the dock.

Well-situated for access to many amenities including a convenience store, gas station, boat launch, water craft rentals in Burleigh Falls. Winter accessible after freeze-up and close to many trails for avid snowmobilers. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy this beautiful lakeside retreat!
