Welcome to Walaila Cottage, your private lakeside retreat on beautiful Cardiff Lake. Set on a spacious, open grassy lot with 180 feet of sandy shoreline, this cedar Pan Abode cottage is perfect for families and friends looking to relax or enjoy the outdoors. The clean spring fed lake is ideal for swimming, paddling, or lounging on the dock, and the hot tub and fire pit make it easy to unwind at any time of day.

Inside, the cottage offers three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a cozy open concept living, dining, and kitchen area with everything you need, including fridge, stove, and microwave. A large walkout deck and additional lower level living space provide plenty of room to spread out. Guests also enjoy a canoe, pedal boat, water toys, BBQ with propane, and satellite TV. Cardiff Lake is a quiet, small lake best suited for non motorized use, with Wilberforce just 5 minutes away for groceries and essentials and Bancroft about 20 minutes away.
