Overview ↑↓
Your search probably ends here! Seven Acres, 550 feet of shoreline, a majestic oak canopy, great waterfront and ambience all day long. There is no doubt you are at a cottage here - the wood motif will tell you that - but you will be as comfortable here as you are in the city.
Located in the northern section of the Muskoka/Almaguin Highlands region on McQuaby Lake, this property is just 3 hours from Toronto, with all but the last 25 km on main highways - just far enough to get away from things. Mind you, the cottage road for Oakstone Haven is one of the best maintained we've ever seen, so getting here is a snap.
Once you arrive, it's pretty easy to get that "I wanna stay forever" feeling. Stepping inside, you will feel the pine walls and ceiling wrapping themselves around you. The kitchen and dining area are on the driveway side - leaving the seating areas in the living and family rooms to the view of the trees and waterfront. There are 3 bedrooms, 1 on each level, including a loft with a seating nook that may just become someone's personal haven during your stay.
Outside, the extensive wraparound deck provides marvellous views. Your only concern will be to decide which direction to face. While there are a number of stairs down to the waterfront, the slope is not at all onerous and should be fine for most, although those with mobility issues may wish to take note prior to booking. If you have someone in the group that wants even more privacy, there is a bunkie with a double bed, but please note that you would have to provide your own bedding/pillows for this.
The water's edge features a deck and dock, letting you enjoy your choice of activity (or non-activity...it can be pretty tempting to spend an hour or two doing absolutely nothing here). The privacy of the property lets nature in, so don't be surprised if some wildlife sightings become highlights of the week. If you're a shutterbug, make sure the camera is at the ready - you never know when the opportunity will present itself.
Out and about, the area itself is scenic at every turn. For groceries and all the basics you need, the town of Powassan, 25 minutes away will meet your needs. If you want to explore the region, North Bay and Lake Nipissing are less than an hour's drive.
Oakstone Haven embodies so much of what we consider to be the classic cottage vacation. We expect this one to be the first choice for many families!
