About this property

Stunning Log Home on a Private Lake

This magnificent log house with towering ceilings and intricate stonework opens onto an old barn foundation. It is nestled above a beautiful private lake on over 300 acres of forest which can be explored by wandering along the miles of private trails.

The entire house is appointed with fine furniture and decorated with interesting and unique features. Each of the three bedrooms follows our family history around the globe - China, India, and historical Canada.
Bedroom Details:
#1 Upstairs: queen bed, extra-large room, vaulted ceilings, overhead fan, propane fireplace, AC, full ensuite, large closets, sitting area, optional single mattress
#2 Upstairs: queen bed, large room, vaulted ceilings, overhead fan, electric fireplace, AC, full ensuite, sitting area, single pullout couch
#3 Main floor: queen bed, overhead fan, full ensuite, stairless access
Optional: the TV/games room is equipped with a queen Murphy Bed
All linens, bedding, towels, etc are provided.

Each of the rooms of The Log House are comfortably appointed with all one could want for a relaxing retreat from the busy world. The modern kitchen has lots of space for working and visiting and includes everything to prepare gourmet meals, enjoy a BBQ, or to make a quick sandwich. The TV/games room includes comfortable couches and chairs, a Murphy bed, a large tv with hardwired access to online content including a Netflix account, and lots of board games.

The waterfront is a tranquil spot with lots to do: swimming from the dock to the raft, taking the canoe, paddle board, or sit-on kayak for a paddle, using the pedal boat for exploring the water - all are wonderful ways to enjoy this quiet and tranquil lake. And when you don't want to be in or on the water then you can sit beside the water on the large deck which has both covered and open areas. The dockside shed has a large collection of life jackets, paddles, floating noodles, and other waterfront toys.

This is truly a unique holiday location.

About the host

Hosted by Alan & Rosalie Howard

Host profile image
We are retired teachers with a passion for international teaching. For the time being we are happily living the rural life just outside of the village of Kinmount and run a small business, Private Lake Retreats, offering unique vacation options on this tranquil private lake where our family traces its history for over 100 years.

Why they chose this property

300+ acres
A private lake with only four homes
7-8 kms of well maintained walking trails around the lake and through the pristine forest
A stunning, comfortable, and distinctive log house, with an old barn foundation providing a unique walled garden

What makes this property unique

This property has been in the family for well over 100 years. The Log House was build by Alan's parents in the late '90s and then purchased by Alan and Rosalie in 2017. We spent the first year gutting the interior, reconfiguring the layout, and updating virtually all aspects of the building to finish it as a very comfortable, elegant home that tells our family stories.
