Perennial gardens, a wildflower shoreline, great privacy and sandy shallow water for 100ft makes this lovely property a delight for all ages. Located only an hour and a half from Toronto and with easy access to Orillia, it's a great spot for exploring the region.
The owners of this cottage obviously take great pride in its up-keep as the house is immaculate, comfortably furnished and nicely decorated. Entrance is into a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living area that is light and bright with hardwood flooring and pastel coloured walls. The kitchen is fully equipped with a breakfast bar and enough work space to keep any cottage chef happy. There is plenty of seating in the living room with Muskoka chairs by the large windows for great lake views. Sliding doors open onto the deck from the dining area giving access to the BBQ and gardens. There's satellite TV and a stereo system for keeping the indoor inactive ones entertained.
The master bedroom also has sliding doors to the deck for taking that last look at the moonlight before retiring to bed, or being first out to the water in the morning. There is a large ensuite bathroom with a large shower and Jacuzzi tub. Two further bedrooms are off a short hallway; one has twin beds and the other has a queen with a bathroom between the two.
One of the best features of this property is the waterfront with shallow water with hard sand underfoot for about 100 metres out. The water then deepens for swimming. This makes it a super location for families with smaller children. The good sized lawn area is ideal for ball games or just lounging in the sun. This is a nicely private cottage too with no over-looking neighbours.
Just a few minutes from the cottage is the Kirkfield Lift Lock, a National Historic Site on the Trent Severn Waterway, and it's well worth a visit to watch the boats being lifted hydraulically to the next level on the canal. Orillia is the nearest large town and has a theatre, plenty of restaurants and shops as well as some great trails. The pretty riverside towns of Fenelon Falls, Bobcaygeon and Coboconk are all within easy driving distance of the cottage. For larger stores, restaurants and theatres, Lindsay is a 30 minute drive.
