Three places, one stay
01 — On the land
Framed by pine and granite, the main cottage sits on the land: a chef’s kitchen, dining for ten, a wood-burning fireplace, and a screened gazebo for the hour when the lake goes gold. Five bedrooms upstairs and down. Then the path through the cedars, down to the water.
High-speed internet throughout. Two offices if the stay includes work. Weekly cleaning and linen changes are part of every reservation.

02 — On the water
Descend through the cedars. The lake is the sound you sleep to.
The boathouse is its own place — two slips below, a glass-railed deck above, and a guest suite with kitchenette, living, a queen bedroom, and a full bath. Lounge chairs on the dock, Muskoka chairs for the evening, a swim ladder into deep, clear water. A boat lift in the 30′ slip is available for use. Two kayaks and an 18′ lily pad are at the dock.
