About this property
Beautiful, four bedroom cottage right on the lake. Great swimming. Easy access.
Located in the Kawartha Highlands and right on beautiful McGinnis Lake, this family-friendly, four bedroom cottage has a great kitchen, comfortable beds, and spacious property including a gazebo, excellent swimming and boating, with a forest to explore. Includes use of two canoes, pedal boat, paddle board, a small kayak and lots of board games for evening fun. McGinnis Lake is part of a system of seven lakes so adventurers can also rent a boat at a nearby marina and explore. (Please note: There is more than one McGinnis Lake in Ontario. This is the one between Catchacoma and Beaver Lake in the Kawartha Highlands. A beautiful, clean, swimmable lake). Roomy dock and all day sun exposure adds to the fun. One part of this cottage is 'vintage-original,' with loads of charm and beauty (including a brand new, efficient wood stove for cooler evenings and mornings), leading into a newer section where gourmet meals can be prepared in a well-equipped kitchen, and additional sitting area provides lots of time to read, reflect and enjoy each other's company in front of a propane fireplace. There is one queen bed and three double bed (including a pull out couch in the living area), and three single beds (one set of bunk beds, and one upper bunk that is a single). Pine floors and walls, art, a deck with a table and chairs and bbq, and big sunny windows with southern exposure all add to the beauty of this Kawartha jewel. We love to share our space and welcome visitors to this special sanctuary. The cottage is an easy drive to Buckhorn, Peterborough, Haliburton or Bobcaygeon which makes day trips or grocery shopping simple (although, we don't think you will want to leave!). Local points of interest include Kawartha Country Wines, art galleries, the Trent Canal system, shopping and many restaurants and seasonal festivals. Two marinas on the same system of lakes rent boats and other water toys, and provide access to beer, wine, and a small selection of groceries.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Stiller
My name is Karen and my family and I love this special space. We've always enjoyed welcoming others to enjoy a spot right on a beautiful lake, surrounded by tall trees, listening to the cries of loons and enjoying time together on deck or dock. Our family has many memories here and we hope that people who choose to rent will create their own special memories.
What makes this property unique
Our cottage is a blend of "classic cottage Canadiana" with a more recent addition that includes big windows, great light, a good kitchen and lots of space to visit, relax, play games or enjoy dinner together on a harvest table made by my father. Good things happen here. We hope you will love it as much as we do.
