The Space:
Escape to the Kawarthas in comfort! We are new owners of an established and successful short-term rental property. Since taking ownership in the Fall of 2022, we have completed countless new upgrades including all new furniture, and new paint throughout. Our goal with this cottage is to make it a high-end vacation home worthy of HGTV! This cottage is fully updated inside and outside with modern finishes, bright colours, and has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation and build long lasting memories!
Inside the cottage, guests will enjoy a large open-concept great room with vaulted ceilings and views of the River. The great room has been recently renovated and features a brand new kitchen (including new appliances) new kitchen island and coffee bar (both 12-cup and Kuerig), and is open-concept with the new living room. The spacious living room includes plenty of seating around a wood burning stove, with views of the river.
Next to the great room is the dining room, that features a huge dining room table with 8-chairs. The table can comfortably seat 10-12 people, and also has another 'leaf' that can be inserted to make the table even bigger for large meals with family and friends.
Also off the great room are two bedrooms and a 3-piece full bathroom. The master bedroom features a queen size bed and an 'office nook' which includes an office desk, ergonomic chair, and computer monitor. The second bedroom comes with rustic wood bunk beds (double on bottom/single on top), which are great for kids and adults alike.
In the basement, the cottage features a large rec room with a 55" Smart TV, with VCR/DVD player, which can be used to watch our extensive 5-star movie collection. We also have an Original Xbox that has a hard drive with 25+ vintage games from the early 2000's. There is also a new pull-out couch for extra sleeping, as well as the pool table/ping pong table. A great flex space for kids or hanging out and watching movies on a rainy day!
The third bedroom is located off the rec room and features a beautiful Photo-Wall - A stunning feature wall that makes you feel like you are sleeping in the wilderness. The third bedroom has 2 new queen-sized beds, and a futon. Off the bedroom is the second 3-piece full bathroom (recently renovated) and laundry.
A true hideaway - the outside features a large deck, overlooking the river. Deck includes a built-in hot tub and a dining area that is covered by a gazebo. Off the deck, guests can also enjoy the barrel sauna. There is also a large firepit that can comfortably fit 12+ people around and plenty of Adirondack chairs and outdoor chairs for seating. The roadside of the cottage has lots of property for yard games and sports. It should be noted that Cedarplank Rd. is a quiet cottage road.
Guests can enjoy swimming off the dock, as the Burnt River is known for being clean, deep and weed free! It is also located on the Trent-Severn Waterway and flows into Balsam lake and Cameron lake. A public boat launch is a short 2-minute drive from the cottage.
The Cottage has a UV filtration system, so tap-water is clean and drinkable. There is also a heat pump / AC unit on the main floor as well as several ceiling fans. Main floor is carpet free. Free Wi-Fi is provided. Propane BBQ is included.
