This beautiful, non-direct waterfront cottage offers the perfect combination of privacy, comfort and easy access to the lake. Guests can enjoy the spacious 25-foot-wide private dock, the ideal place to have your morning coffee, relax with your favourite beverages during the day or take in the spectacular southwest sunset views. When the weather is cooler, you can still enjoy the peaceful surroundings from the comfort of the cottage while being surrounded by nature.
With plenty of space to spread out, this cottage is designed for everyone to feel comfortable. The bedrooms accommodate up to 6 guests, with additional sleeping space on the pull-out couch in Loon Loft. A double futon in the 700-square-foot basement provides even more flexibility for guests.
The main living area offers a spacious sectional couch, a 65" TV with amazing sound, and plenty of room to gather together. The cottage features a large basement where guests can play games, work out, relax or enjoy movie nights with the projector. With fibre optic high-speed Wi-Fi, you can stay connected when needed while still enjoying the peace and tranquility of a true cottage getaway.
The well-equipped kitchen includes a microwave, dishwasher and garburator, making meal preparation and clean-up easy. A full-size washer and dryer are conveniently located in the main floor powder room. Guests can also enjoy fresh, safe-to-drink well water directly from the tap during their stay.
Each bedroom offers its own unique experience. The main floor features a comfortable King bed with a private ensuite, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The large Queen bedroom includes a balcony overlooking the quiet forest, a perfect spot to enjoy the sounds of nature. The Double bedroom is cozy and comfortable for one or two guests. For those staying in the loft, you’ll wake up to a beautiful view surrounded by trees.
Every season brings something special to this cottage. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the forest come alive. You may spot deer, wild turkeys, blue jays, and other local wildlife visiting the property. Spend the evening grilling on the deck BBQ or gathering around the fire pit in the front yard sharing stories under the stars.
If you’re ready for adventure, there is plenty to discover nearby. Spring is a great time for moose watching in Algonquin, and there are many hiking trails throughout the area. Guests can also rent watercraft from nearby marinas and explore the beauty of the lake.
For those looking for restaurants, shopping, or supplies, Dwight is close enough to provide everything you need while still allowing you to enjoy the privacy and quiet of your cottage retreat.
No matter the season, this cottage offers a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of nature.
