A complete oasis and architectural dream, you’ll enjoy not only the privacy of this lavish retreat nestled inside a calm and quiet bay, which boasts 4,500 feet of waterfront with a sandy beach on 111 private acres, but also the many activities which are included with the cottage such as: kayaking, canoeing, paddle boating, firepit, putting green, horseshoe pits, and bocce ball. Enjoy swimming, fishing, boating in the pristine water (motorboat and Sea-Doo rental nearby), or enjoy a round of golf just minutes away at The Ridge at Manitou (one of the most stunning courses in Canada). Relax with a morning coffee or glass of wine on the floating dock steps from your door, lounge with a book on a Muskoka chair, nap swinging gently in a hammock, or exercise your culinary muscles using a charcoal kamado and propane BBQ conveniently located under one of four covered porches. Indoors, play a game of pool or relax by the bar in front of a large screen TV. In fall, take advantage of the breathtaking colors of the Canadian forest, or enjoy a long hike through the various wooded trails on the expansive property. Winter lovers will enjoy the beauty of the outdoors by trekking through the trails by snowshoe, cross country skiing (ski club minutes away at the Parry Sound Cross-Country Ski Club), or try your hand at some ice fishing, snowmobiling (rental nearby and main trails that pass through the lake), ice skating/hockey on the frozen lake, or simply snuggle up by the log-burning fire. No matter the season, this retreat has something for everyone. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Golf - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Canoeing nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 5,000 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 30 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
