This gorgeous property is a perfect mix of traditional cottage vibes and modern upgrades on a spacious lakefront plot with a beautifully maintained garden. This part of the lake is shallow for up to 150 yards making it ideal for paddling, kayaking, paddle boarding and children (or those uncomfortable with deep water). The hosts are friendly, helping and accommodating. They have thought of everything for guests both inside and out, providing multiple seating areas, sun loungers, fire pit, a pedaloe, a small row boat, and bikes for outdoor fun and relaxing. The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is fully kitted out including a coffee maker, Nespresso machine, serving ware, washer dryer and anything else you may need for food prep.
We worked up there for part of the stay and the wifi connection was good and had enough separate spaces that we could work without disturbing each other or guests who weren't working.
The property is dog friendly and our puppy had a brilliant time roaming around the garden. It is situated on a quiet cul de sac which gave us additional peace of mind just in case she did get out.
My husband brought his road bike and got some great rides in around Bayview Village and surrounding concession roads.
The cherry on top of the icing for this cottage is it's proximity to Toronto while still feeling worlds away from the city. I had to drive back for a meeting and it is, truly, only a 2 hour drive from downtown in traffic making it incredibly accessible. It's a 10 minute drive to the local grocery store and LCBO and 25 minutes to Costco in Orillia if you want to stock up.
We can't wait to come back!
