Lac Gauvreau is a delightfully tranquil lake only 40 minutes from downtown Ottawa, making it an ideal location for a short break as well as a longer vacation destination. A short drive from Wakefield and with easy access to nearby Gatineau Park, there’s plenty to do in the local area too.
The cottage sits a little above Lac Gauvreau with an easterly outlook across the lake. The lawned gardens are large enough for children to have plenty of space to play and there is a large play/climbing set as well as a seating area for enjoying the late afternoon sun. A short slope leads to a grassy area at the lake which has a sandy, shallow entry with deeper water off the end of the dock. A row boat and canoe are included in the rental for exploring the lake or heading out for a spot of fishing.
A door off the deck leads into an open plan living, dining and kitchen area. This is a fresh and light-filled space that makes it as pleasant to sit indoors on poor weather days, as it is to lounge on the deck. A wood stove delivers a nice amount of heat on those cooler evenings in the fall giving a cosy feel to the room. The kitchen is nicely equipped with everything the cottage chef needs to prepare family meals and is adjacent to a good sized dining table that will double up as a card and games table in the evenings.
Upstairs are three bedrooms – the master has a queen, the second bedroom has twin bunks and the third has a sofa bed. The bathroom has a tub with shower over as well as a washer/dryer.
The owners have spent a lot of time updating this cottage and the result is an appealing, attractive property that would suit anyone looking for a private location on a great lake, yet still be close to the city.
