Overview ↑↓
Welcome to Oconto Lake Retreat on the peaceful shores of Oconto Lake in Central Frontenac, near Sharbot Lake. Surrounded by serene natural beauty, this custom-built retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The small, quiet lake (with no public boat launch) is ideal for swimming right off the dock, paddling, or simply relaxing by the water.
Built by the property owners using trees harvested from the property, the cottage showcases handcrafted details throughout. The clover-covered lawn, natural stone seating areas with Adirondack chairs, and beautiful lake views create a peaceful setting to unwind. A natural path leads to the dock, where a canoe and water toys await for exploring the pristine lake.
Outside, enjoy the semi-wrap-around deck with BBQ, a charming yellow porch swing, and a spacious screened sunroom featuring a custom-built dining table and futon for relaxing. Just outside, the firepit is the perfect gathering place after a day on the water.
Inside, the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area is warm and inviting, with a cozy wood stove and large windows overlooking the lake. The main floor also includes a convenient 2-piece bathroom with stacked washer/dryer and plenty of storage for coolers and water gear.
Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a full 4-piece bathroom. The primary bedroom enjoys beautiful lake views, while the remaining bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements for family and friends.
Whether you're swimming, paddling, relaxing by the fire, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, Oconto Lake Retreat is the perfect destination for an unforgettable cottage getaway.
