It is well situated: Toronto (2 ¼ hr), 1 hr north of Peterborough, 30 min south of Bancroft, and 30 min northeast of Lakefield. It is well located with a private beach and eastern exposure where you can delight in the gorgeous sunrise. Relax in the oversized hammock, with a stunning view. The property is a perfect site for children of all ages with a private beach and yard for playing activities such as catch, outdoor 6 foot Jenga, badminton, ladderball, custom monkey bars between two trees and much more. There is a fire pit for your use. The expansive 97 feet of sandy beach shoreline offers excellent swimming or you can dive off the 20’ dock. A canoe, multiple adult lifejackets, 2 child sized kayaks (each holds up to 140 lbs), a paddleboat, sand toys and relaxation flotation devices are available for your use.

TESTIMONIALS

The cottage was exactly like the pictures. The dock was great, the bonfire and swimming so nice. The cottage even had a portable air conditioner for the main room, and mosquitoes didn’t get in at night which was very appreciated. It had everything we wanted and we had a fabulous time. Internet was good enough to stream Netflix for rainy day scary movie marathon. The table was the perfect size for eating but also board games. Can’t think of a thing I would change or add. —Gawry (Aug 2023)

Cottage was comfortable. —Irene S (Jul/Aug 2021)
