Welcome to your own private estate on Big Bald Lake, a sprawling 3-acre retreat with ~500 feet of shoreline, multiple accommodations, incredible lake views, and an impressive collection of resort-style amenities. This property offers far more than the traditional cottage experience.

Spend your days swimming, boating, kayaking, or relaxing along the waterfront, then take advantage of everything the property has to offer on land. Enjoy a soak in the six-person hot tub, challenge your group to a game on the sand volleyball court, practice your swing on the private golf hole, work out in the heated garage gym, or gather at the fully equipped tiki bar. As evening arrives, fire up the BBQ or pizza oven before settling in for an outdoor movie under the stars.

The estate offers plenty of room to spread out, with accommodations across the main cottage, private boathouse suite, and guest cabin, along with multiple outdoor seating areas and decks overlooking the lake. Wi-Fi extends throughout the property, making it well suited for guests looking to combine cottage living with remote work.

Private, spacious, and packed with unique amenities, this Big Bald Lake retreat is the kind of property where there is always something to do, yet just as many places to sit back, enjoy the sunset, and appreciate the peaceful Kawartha Lakes setting.
