About this property

Cozy retreat, golden location - 24/7 private lake access & amazing views!

Our cozy lakeside house is a beloved family home designed and built by a loving couple. Every room is angled to maximize lake view and sunlight. If you’re looking to stay in a place with character, this is the perfect retreat location for you.

Immersed in nature, sunrises and sunsets on the lake, a quick paddle, a bbq - done. Head to nearby town centers or malls or some shopping, drive to the city for a day in the city - also done. Located in a safe and quiet neighbourhood that’s only 30min drive to downtown Toronto, we have the best of both worlds!
Our backyard is directly connected to the lake, available for skating, ice-fishing, snowboard-paragliding in winters, and all sorts on on-water fun in summers.

What's Nearby?
A plaza 15min walk away with NoFrills, Shoppers, Starbucks, Tim's, Philthy Philly's a gas station, and a few very nice restaurants & stores. Also many more stores and food places nearby on Young Street. There are a few trails and parks to explore in the area, as well as a park across the lake with a volleyball & basketball course, a skate park, and a promenade built on the lake! There is also a public beach, kayak club as well as a community center with drop-in classes and a pool.

Additional Amenities:
- Towels & basic toiletries (toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel)
- Full set of kitchen tools & basic condiments
- Canoe & paddle board (weather dependent)
- Firepit & grill by the water

Disappointing

Unfortunately this property is not ready to accept travellers. The kitchen was not functional for cooking, and lacked the basics needed for food preparation. The bedding and towels were a major disappointment as sheets and bed covers were very old and used and didn’t seem clean. Although the property is is in lovely area , it needs much more attention before accepting clients. We paid slightly under $1000 for 2 nights and did not feel we received value for it.

Hi Ernest thank you for your review. Very sorry to hear that you felt disappointed with your stay. I can guarantee that all beddings and towels have been washed and are thoroughly cleaned before every visit. The kitchen is stocked with all the basic tools for cooking but we are indeed experiencing some temporary issues with the cooktop as it broke down recently. Appliance specialists could not fix it after multiple appointments so a new one had to be ordered, but it is just taking a bit of time to arrive. This was the case for our last group of renters as well, unfortunately, and we're sorry that the messages we left for you regarding this inconvenience prior to your stay got lost in the system. I understand that it must have been frustrating to have to use the temporary portable electric cooktop instead but please know that this issue will be fixed as soon as my order arrives.

Beautiful Views, lovely host

We had a wonderful weekend at Sabrina's property. Lots of windows so you constantly see the view of the lake. We were lucky to see Canadian Geese just flying home from winter and playing on the ice, so that was fun. There is a nice large kitchen table which we made great use of for playing family board games. The main bedroom had a king bed which was also a nice treat for us. It is located in a nice quiet neighbourhood and close to Wilcox Park where we went for a nice walk around the boardwalk. We did have a snag when checking in as the lock was actually broken, no fault to the owner (it had literally worked for her the day before) but did cause a delay getting in - will have to be fixed for future renters. She was great to get a local friend to come and help us get in and she herself came to see the issue for herself. Suggestions for renters: If you want to sleep in, bring a sleep mask as there are big windows in every room. We had brought a laptop and HDMI cable to access our Disney+ account through her television. Slippers are also recommended. Sabrina must own pets as we found there was a lot of animal hair everywhere, that would be our biggest suggestion to her is to give it a deep clean for pet fuzz. We don't have pets so for us it was highly noticeable, I am sure other families may not notice. Overall we had a wonderful time and all our needs were met. The design of the house is very interesting and made for a unique experience. We had the quality family experience we were looking for to start our spring break. Thank you Sabrina.

Thank you Laura and your family for being such lovely guests and staying with us! Luckily the door and TV issues have been fixed and I've organized the cleaning service to target the animal hair :) Thank you for the feedback and hopefully will see you again in the future!

Serene Dream

We spent 6 days in late August 2022 and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Yes, the place is a bit older and could use some weeding and trimming but having that little slice of lake access makes all the difference in the world. Having lake views out of all the windows, a small 2nd floor deck to have coffee in the morning, the greenhouse to warm up and sit when it rained...was all so purely serene and lovely. We were all so thankful for being there together. The only things we needed, that weren't there were a few more blankets and a larger coffee pots (since we had 5 adults). We were able to take trips to Toronto for the FanExpo, to the Kensington area, Queen's St West, and Wilcox park (just around the corner) and had a great time trying all of the fabulous foods from around the world. Thank you for the wonderful stay. We hope to stay again sometime 😍

Great location but in need of TLC

The house was in a very convenient location and the neighborhood safe and upscale. The owner was nice and flexible with check-in times. The house entrance was dirty - lots of old spider webs. The grounds were overgrown and desperately need landscaping. The house was large - bedrooms and bathrooms on entrance level, common areas upstairs. The living room couches were lumpy and extremely uncomfortable - they need replacing. The kitchen microwave was missing the glass turnstile plate and rendered useless. The pots and pans were also old and grungy. The windows looking out to the lake could use a good cleaning and the overgrown vines covered up what would be a beautiful view. Down by the lake, the water was very shallow and mucky - accessible for canoeing but not great for swimming near the shore. This house could be a great rental property with a lot of TLC, updates and landscaping. If upgraded, we would consider going back as it was convenient to major highways for family visits. But not in its current condition.

mooie locatie maar heeft grondige renovatie nodig

Het is een schitterende woning gelegen in een rustige, mooie en centrale wijk. De woning is erg bijzonder ingedeeld, maar oh, wat zonde dat het zo slecht is onderhouden. De oven moest dicht gehouden worden met een stoel, keukenkastjes sloten niet goed, de toilet spoelde niet goed door. Dat het kooktoestel niet werkte, daar waren we netjes van op de hoogte gebracht, maar het was onmogelijk te koken op 2 electrische pitjes. Het inductieplaatje werkte niet naar behoren. Er lag nog eten van de vorige bewoners in de koelkast en vriezer, de glazen en kopjes hebben we eerst allemaal in de vaatwasser gezet, want ze waren niet schoon. Wasmachine, droger en vaatwasser werkten perfect en leken ook vrij nieuw. Kortom, een mooi huis, heerlijk rustig aan het meer gelegen, maar het zou de woning erg veel goeds doen om hem grondig op te knappen. Vriendelijk contact gehad met de eigenaresse overigens.

Lake Cabin/cottage

It was a great location, close to our family in King City. It was great to be on the lake in the summer and enjoy the canoe. Would stay again!
