About this property

Bear Essentials Lakefront Hideaway

  • `Bear Essentials` is a charming waterfront cottage on peaceful Otter Lake. The private dock overlooking a calm non-motorized lake, home to many otters and wildlife, is the perfect oasis for nature lovers. Enjoy the serenity of canoeing, fishing and swimming without the sound of boats and sea-doos whizzing by.

    This property boasts 130 feet of water frontage which wraps around the cottage allowing for water views from almost every angle. While this property has the privacy and seclusion of rural living in a fully-winterized cottage, it is also just a 10-minute drive `to the conveniences of downtown Huntsville.`

    For year-around fun, Bear Essentials is within a 18-minute driving radius to Hidden
    Valley Highlands Ski Area and Muskoka Ski Club, Arrowhead Ice Skating Trail and
    several golf courses. There are also snowmobiling, snowshoeing and hiking trails in
    walking distance.` The cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 four-piece bathroom. Bedroom on the second story has a picturesque Juliet balcony with a scenic view of the lake. The fully-stocked kitchen overlooks the elevated cathedral pine ceilings in the dining area. There is also a fully operational Regency fireplace, a custom deck overlooking the water with a bbq and a lovely screened-in Muskoka room.

    We look forward to sharing our little little piece of heaven with you!
