Apt: 3

Lake of Bays P1H 2J6

Step into a storybook setting where generations of laughter and love have graced this cherished family cottage since 1973. Nestled beneath towering pines, this quintessential retreat exudes a heartwarming blend of nostalgia and natural beauty, offering a rare opportunity to embrace the simplicity of lakeside spleandor. At the heart of the cottage lies a classic Muskoka stone wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings as the firelight dances on the walls. Memories echo in every corner, from long conversations on the inviting lakeside porch to impromptu gatherings of friends and family. With five bedrooms - including two spacious options on the upper level - there's room for everyone, even the dog, to settle in and make memories of their own. Wake each morning to commanding southeast views over 200+ feet of pristine waterfront. The natural shoreline transitions to a hard, rippled sand bottom, beckoning swimmers, and sun-seekers alike. Spend carefree days soaking in the golden sun, diving into crystal-clear waters, or simply reveling in the serenity of sought-after Bella lake in the Lake of Bays District and Algonquin Park corridor. The cottage's level topography is tailor-made for summer games - whether it's kids running barefoot through the grass or spirited rounds of cornhole. A rear mudroom porch ensures sandy feet and wet towels stay in check, while a dreamy, unpretentious charm invites you to savor life's simplest pleasures. The detached garage is perfect for storing boats and water toys. This is more than a cottage - it's a canvas for cherished traditions, where every sunset paints a memory, and every sunrise whispers the promise of another perfect day.
