This beautifully appointed, single-level cottage sleeps up to 16 guests across five thoughtfully designed bedrooms—perfect for multi-family gatherings or extended family escapes. One bedroom is tailor-made for kids or cousins, featuring two double beds with single bunks above, creating a fun and functional space for younger guests. The heart of the cottage is its open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, where cathedral ceilings and large windows bring in natural light and lake views. The living room features cozy seating and an entertainment setup, along with walkout access to a full-length deck overlooking the waterfront. A screened-in patio adds to the charm, with comfortable seating and a foosball table, making it the perfect all-weather hangout spot. Outdoors, a gentle slope leads to the dock at the water’s edge, ideal for swimming, lounging, or launching a canoe to explore Whitestone Lake. The location on the narrows means you can paddle or boat into Dunchurch, where you’ll find essentials including the LCBO, local markets, and other small-town amenities. For those looking to explore further afield, the vibrant town of Parry Sound—with its waterfront trails, arts scene, and restaurants—is less than an hour away. Or take a scenic drive to Magnetawan, a historic village where the Magnetawan River meets Ahmic Lake, offering a taste of heritage Ontario and friendly, small-town charm.
