For Rent
$3,500 Per Week (High Season)
Welcome to our family cottage! This cottage has been in our family for over 50 years. No need to pack everything up to head down to the lake for the day since this unique property is directly on the water. Unmatched sight-lines from the cottage to the water so you can easily see your family members enjoying all the water-sports.
Slow down and gather for some great meals in the sunroom with the large dining area. The fabulous deck off the sunroom has a patio set and BBQ for al fresco dining and is great for watching the stunning sunsets. Relax with a good book and a beverage and watch the boats go by on the brand new long dock with a platform and seating. The flat property is great for playing games to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. We have so many cherished memories here and we have no doubt you will create some here too!

Cottage was great. Lots of beds, clean and loads of space to relax and eat. The dock was fantastic. We appreciated the use of the paddle boat as well! Our family had a wonderful time, and yes, we did see and hear many loons! —Drew H. (July 2020)
