About the host
Hosted by Carrie
We are Toronto born and proud Canadians who love to host and share our favourite place. Our cottage has been in our friend family for over 30 years, We have been coming to this property when it was owned by two prior couples who are long time friends of ours. Two of our close friend couples who have been coming to our cottage as long as we have also own cottages on the lake now as well. Our cottage holds lots of memories. We started coming here as young adults in our 20's and our granddaughter will be coming for her first time this year at 8 months old. I hope our story shows how much we love our small piece of heaven in Ontario where we shake off the long week of work and enjoy nature.
Why they chose this property
We enjoy sitting on the Observatory deck having coffee in the morning or watching a sun set in the evening listening to the loons call out.
What makes this property unique
Our property has water access only, creating more privacy. The fishing and off of the dock is amazing and our lake is one of the cleanest in Ontario and is tested yearly.
