Nestled on a serene 2-acre private lot overlooking Redmond Bay, this spacious, newly renovated cottage is your perfect all-season retreat. Whether it’s a cozy winter escape or a summer getaway, Lakeview Cottage offers the ultimate blend of relaxation, adventure, and family fun!

Why You’ll Love It Here:
Hot Tub & Lakefront Relaxation Soak in the hot tub after a day on the lake or unwind by the water on our brand-new dock, which overlooks the peaceful bay. The large back deck, with views of the lake and expansive yard, is perfect for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and birdwatching in this tranquil natural setting.
Ultimate Game Zone Our game area is packed with fun: enjoy pool, table tennis, foosball, darts, and even axe throwing! Or simply enjoy some boardgames and Xbox instead. Perfect for families or groups looking to relax together with friendly competition.
Nearby Amenities The cottage is just minutes from groceries, dining, a local brewery, LCBO, dispensaries, galleries, museums, a provincial park, and a nearby golf club.
Campfires & Fishing Share stories around the fire pit, cast a line from the dock, or try ice fishing in winter. The lake is known for species like Lake Trout, Bass, and Walleye.
Pet-Friendly & Spacious With a large yard for snow or summer fun, there’s room for pets and outdoor games – from snowmen and snowball fights in winter to catch and campfires in warmer months.
The Cottage Experience This beautiful lakefront home is cozy, modern, and designed to feel like your own private resort – perfect for all seasons. Whether you’re here to relax, play, or explore, you’ll find every space crafted for comfort and fun.
Main Area Step out to the deck for BBQs with a view or enjoy a soak in the hot tub. Inside, there’s a spacious dining area, a warm fireplace, a family room with Xbox, Smart TV, and a pool table, all designed for memorable gatherings.
Upper Area Find two cozy bedrooms, one with a private balcony overlooking the lake, and a full bathroom. The second bedroom offers two single beds, perfect for families or groups.

Outdoor Fun for Everyone Your expansive lakefront yard is perfect for family and friends!

The bay’s shallow waters are ideal for paddling and casting a line, with species like Lake Trout, Bass, and Walleye right at your fingertips.
