About this property

Take a load off (Fanny), in this calm, stylish lakefront cottage. Completely renovated and updated with care, this space offers modern cottage vibes and beautiful views.

Enjoy the scenery as you lounge on the dock, or take in the lake with supplied kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes. Surrounded by snow mobile and hiking trails, and only a 30-minute drive to the slopes of Sir Sam's Ski, there is something to do every season.

The cottage features a newly renovated, open-concept layout with exposed trusses giving a modern but woodsy cabin feel. Three bedrooms and a Beautyrest Queen-sized sofabed allow for eight guests to sleep comfortably. Cozy up by the wood fireplace in the winter months or chilly evenings. A large dining table and desk allows for guests to work during their stay. The space has a heat pump for air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter, along with supplemental electric heaters in the bedrooms and bathroom.

The kitchen features all brand new appliances, including a dishwasher. A new Nespresso Vertuo is available for the coffee lovers. A washer/dryer is also in the cottage for guests' convenience.

Even though the property is tucked in the forest, high speed internet and 5G cellphone service keeps guests connected during their stay. An Apple TV with Bell Fibe TV with Crave offers live programming as well as on-demand shows and movies. For the vintage enthusiasts, there's a VCR/DVD player with an assortment of VHS tapes. Board games and puzzles are also available as part of the entertainment setup.

During the warmer months, the private dock is an ideal place for guests to lounge. Two kayaks, two standup paddle boards, two canoes, and a paddleboat are free to use. The BBQ can be accessed year round.

The full-sized deck in some of the photos has been temporarily downsized, with plans to build a full wraparound deck in the Spring. Part of the old deck has been re-purposed for a covered outdoor area with an outdoor heater to sip a hot beverage on beautiful winter wonderland evenings.

The outdoor firepit can be used year round, so you can Kumbaya to your heart's content.
