As you enter Sunview Cottage, you'll immediately feel a sense of warmth and relaxation. The interior is thoughtfully designed, with ample space for families to unwind and create lasting memories. The main floor features a primary bedroom and ensuite just off the kitchen, a centrally located family room, two more bedrooms and a second bath to the right. The living area is bathed in natural light, with stunning views of the lake.

The bright and spacious lower level boasts 2 newly added bedrooms and beautiful bathroom, as well as a laundry room and a second fridge. There is also a walkout to the lawn and the lake beyond.
Sunview Cottage truly shines in the summer with outstanding outdoor amenities. Step onto the huge deck and enjoy breathtaking views of Rice Lake. The deck – and the gently sloping lawn below – are perfect spots to soak up the sun and relax in the tranquil surroundings. Southern exposure means that you can enjoy sunshine from morning to evening. Prepare delicious meals on the BBQ and savour them al fresco while being serenaded by the many birds that call this area home. Sunsets over the lake are spectacular, and after the sun goes down, gather around the firepit to share stories, roast marshmallows, and create unforgettable memories.
Various watercraft are available for your enjoyment—explore the calm waters of the lake and take in the beauty of the surrounding nature from a kayak or paddleboard. There is also a pedal boat for younger ones to enjoy.
If you're looking for adventure, lace up your hiking boots and hit the nearby trails, bring your binoculars for bird watching. If you're a fishing enthusiast, Rice Lake is ideal for casting a line and reeling in your catch of the day. The Kawarthas is a treasure trove of natural beauty to explore with hidden gems and local wildlife.

Whether you seek relaxation by the lakeside, thrilling outdoor adventures, or a combination of both, this cottage is the perfect home away from home.
