100 ft of sandy shoreline and shallow water for kids! Enjoy the view of the lake and float planes landing from the dock, beach and deck. Bring your own boat, or use our 2 kayaks, canoe, paddle board and paddle boat. The updated kitchen has all main appliances including a full-size fridge, stove, and microwave. Full bathroom with shower and tub. Easily accessible just off the highway. Don’t forget linens, kitchen and bath towels, toilet paper, and bottled water/cooler jug for drinking and cooking

The space
Our cottage provides a great balance between convenience and relaxation.

On the inside: Our full kitchen is stocked with appliances, serving ware and utensils. The full-sized bathroom includes a tub with shower. In our living room you'll find a variety of card games, board games and a wide selection of DVD’s for the rainy days for your family to enjoy.

On the outside: We have 30 feet of sandy beach that's perfect for wading into the water and playing in the sand. The small lake is well-suited for playing with our water toys like our kayaks, canoe and float toys which guests have access to. We have a dock that fits about 4 chairs to enjoy the view, or you can entertain from the outdoor dinner table or coffee table. Spend your evening around the camp fire overlooking the water.

If you need to work while away, we have cell reception.

Guest access
Guests do not have access to the bunkie/storage shed to the side of the property. We store personal items in here therefore restrict access. Guests do have access to the Paddle Shack next to the bunkie which holds water toys - please help yourself!

Other things to note
Although we have a UV water treatment system we still recommend that you bring bottled water and/or a water cooler pump given a water cooler is provided.

Please don’t forget bed linens, bath towels, kitchen towels and toilet paper. We provide a welcome basket with one roll of toilet paper, one roll of paper towel, a dish cloth, small dish soap, a white garbage bag for the inside bin, and a large black garbage bag to get you started!

One of the things that makes our place unique is that we have float planes that use our lake. It’s pretty awesome to get an up-close look! We just want to remind guests to stay safe and make way for the planes if you see them. Deliberately impeding an aircraft taking off or landing is an illegal offence under the Canadian Aviation Regulations. There is a warning light at the north end of the lake to help you be aware.

There's a lot of wildlife around - squirrels, chipmunks, beavers, dragonflies, racoons, and the odd snake. Please use caution with regards to leaving garbage and food outside as it attracts animals.

We have a heat pump located in the living room and maintain the cottage at a reasonable temperature during the cooler months. The cottage is unavailable from December to the end of March.

Guests have access to wifi and can view login details included in the Welcome Basket upon their arrival.

We don’t have a boat launch and do not allow people to bring boats to use on our lake, however if you’re looking for a launch on another lake please Google local boat launches in Seguin Township, Parry Sound or McDougall Township.

Neighbourhood highlights

We have one neighbour who is a permanent resident. This family has been extremely helpful to us since purchasing our cottage. They keep an eye on our property and have been a great resource for us in helping to get to know the area. They have two dogs who are extremely friendly and may pop by for a visit. Our neighbours on the other side only use their place as a vacation spot. They are a young family and like to spend their weekends enjoying the lake. They are also very helpful and friendly. Everyone else on the lake are vacationers therefore the weekends are busier on the lake than the weekdays. This is a very family-oriented community!

We are next to Seguin's C trail therefore have convenient access for atv use. To check out the local trail system visit the Ontario Trails website and look up Seguin.

We are also close to train tracks and a small municipal airport, so you can expect to hear trains and small planes. Planes will fly overhead and sometimes you can even watch them take off right in front of the cottage!

Where I went to school: Lakehead University and U of Alberta
I spend too much time: Fitness - running, strength training
My partner, parents and I have always dreamed of owning a cottage, so in August 2017 we went all in! After patiently searching we lucked out with finding the perfect place - a cozy 2-bedroom cottage with recent updates on a good sized property with a beautiful sandy shoreline just 45 minutes away from home. Perfect for our fun-loving, growing family to enjoy together! Given that all of us have busy lives at home with our jobs and other commitments, our lifestyles don't currently lend to us using our cottage for more than the odd weekend here and there. We use Airbnb to share our cottage with other families looking to get away, and to generate some extra income to offset our cottage renovations projects.
